This week you studied the inequalities that exist in society in the United States. Specifically, we
emphasized race/ethnicity and gender inequalities. On Friday you watched two
documentaries: one on inequalities in the criminal justice system and one on the implications of
immigration policy/law on individuals seeking a better life in the United States. The
commonality between these two is the unequal treatment of individuals who break the laws
established by society.
In 1987, Margaret Thatcher, prime minister of Great Britain said, referring to Britain’s
responsibilities to the world, “They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there’s
no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no
government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves
first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours.”
Considering this quote, your readings from this week, and the documentaries you watched,
choose either equality in criminal justice or immigration law and write a letter to Margaret
Thatcher about that topic. Use your sociological imagination, your personal experiences, and
your most persuasive voice to argue for what you think needs to happen to increase social
justice – considering Thatcher’s attitude toward government, personal responsibility, and
families.
You do not need to include a works cited page unless you use sources outside the textbook and
the documentaries. Your letter should be three pages long, double-spaced, 12-font. Please refer to the attached documents and watch the videos to complete the letter essay. No plagiarism of any sort.

   Create a list of 5–7 methods, strategies, or techniques, with a brief description for each, that a teacher can use for promoting social interaction and classroom inclusion for learners with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
   Write a 275- to 350-word paper that explains the following in relation to promoting social interaction and inclusion:

   • Impact of social abilities on instruction and learning
   • Importance of peer relationships in learning
   • Teacher strategies to foster relationships
