Sociology matters because it makes us think about why some people in our society are treated better than others.

1. Are you White? If so, what privileges, perhaps because of your race or citizenship, do you enjoy that you have always taken for granted? Can you think of a way to reduce one or more of those privileges so that others can be more equal—and would you cooperate with such an effort? 

 Sociology matters because it makes us more aware of prejudice and              discrimination against members of certain racial and ethnic groups.
