The Assignment
STEP ONE (20 PTS):
Go to “Project Implicit” “Social Attitudes” at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/takeatest.html
This is a live testing site conducted by Harvard University and designed to explore hidden biases. Read the “Preliminary Information” carefully. Any information collected on this test site is recorded anonymously for research purposes only. When you have read the preliminary information and the disclaimer, please click on the link at the bottom which says “Yes, I agree to participate”. Then type in, “I will complete this study with my full attention.” It will take about 15 minutes to complete the survey. This will take you to a series of questions that will assess your attitudes. After you have answered a series of questions, you will receive an analysis of your test responses. Then there will be a series of questions about your reaction to the test results.
To complete Step 1 of this project, write a brief summary (about 200 words) of the results of your responses to the questions. Were you surprised at the results of your test? Why or why not? Now, think about how you need to change your attitude to become a true Ambassador of Unity. Note: I do not need a copy of your test results, just your personal response to the results.

The Assignment (3)
STEP THREE (60 Pts):
As the newly appointed American Ambassador of Unity, you must develop a program that celebrates diversity in America and spreads the word about importance of Unity and Understanding. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
To complete Step 3, you will develop a program designed to address this issue, including implementation and continued expansion of the program—in other words, how will those reached by your program “pay it forward”? This is the key element: How will the program pay it forward? Write out a thorough description of your program as your response to Step 3.
