From the Text: Internet Activity (page 80) "Racial profiling" occurs when people are treated differently because of characteristics that are associated with race, most prominently skin color. In the last few years, many discussions of racial profiling have appeared in the media, especially about racial profiling by law-enforcement agencies. Using an Internet search engine like Google <www.google.com> or Yahoo <www.yahoo.com> Explore the Internet to find discussions or articles about racial profiling. Write a paragraph describing what you learned about racial profiling. Do you have an opinion about whether law-enforcement agencies should be allowed to engage in racial profiling?

From the Text: Internet Activity (page 101) The National Endowment for the Arts, created by Congress in 1965, is an independent governmental agency that financially supports "projects of artistic excellence." One of its services is to publish articles on various topics related to the arts. One such article, written by Marc Pally, entitled "The Enterprise of Process: Notes on Planning Public Art" provides guidance for making decisions about proposed public-art projects. You will find this article at: | ||
