The purpose of this assignment is to: Understand that inequality is not “just the way it is”, it is intentionally constructed. Using Patricia Hill Collins’s template, identify the various domains (layers) that inequality can be built into a society’s social structure. • Identify an example of structured inequality and locate it within Patricia Hill Collins’s analytical framework. • Shine a light on how that inequality is intentionally built into the social structure.

(worth up to 40 points) You must use AT LEAST ONE outside resource. While I will not require MLA or APA citing, you MUST list the resource(s) that you used.
