Also: Review/Read Textbook Chapter 5, pages 166-174.
This will help underscore our discussion of civil rights, which will kick off the hour.
Regarding The Power Elite:
Pay particular
attention to Section 4 of this chapter. If its Wednesday morning at 6:30 am, start there and read through the end.
While reading, ask yourself
the following questions:
1. When was this first published? After reading,
ask yourself if this conception of America is still relevant.
2. Who is “the power elite”? What types of people
or groups comprise the power elite?
3.
Is Mills convincing? If so, or if not, why? Pick
portions of the text which resonate.
You are not required to turn anything in, but that means you
need to make an earnest attempt to read the entire chapter. In advance of
Wednesday, I would recommend pulling out a passage or two that really strikes
you as either insightful, interesting, or confusing.
