IV. Unity and Divisions/Diversity

EU: 1. America’s diversity has been a tremendous source of strength, as well as

one of the primary causes of conflict in our country’s history.

2. The effects of slavery, race, class, and gender conflicts continue to present

challenges for Americans to this day.

EQ: Is “The Melting Pot” an appropriate metaphor for America, or is “A Mixed Salad” more realistic?

How much diversity can any nation tolerate?

Is diversity always desirable?

Why does diversity matter?

Which has created the greatest divisions in America - race, social class, gender, or region?
