C257: The Equation of the Urban Poor in Splash! 2008 (Oct. 04, 2008)

In this class we will discuss how the marginalization of peoples, governmental policies /laws, and modern capitalism each play a role in creating the urban poor as we know it in America. In this class we will start off by summarizing text including: Black Skin White Mask, Freakonomics, Off the Books: The Underground Economy of the Urban Poor, Naked Economics, and Essay’s by Cornell West. We will also show various clips of Milton Friedman’s Free to Chose series from youtube.com. Students will then participate in an open discussion as to how we can solve these issues that are affecting the poorest members of society. Students are encouraged to draw from their personal experiences. The goal of the class is for the student to believe that they can do something to change their communities and help deter the inequality in our urban areas.
