In the film "13th" and the articles by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Rachel Kushner, we explored the idea that racism is often more than just individuals showing prejudice; it's institutional and systemic. What does "institutional racism" mean and how is it different from someone acting racist? In your analysis, provide two examples of institutional racism from the essays and film. Please include quotes. Thank you.

Watch this video through a blue lens (homelessness, drug use, and social exclusion) and explain this video and the following questions: Q. Life course theorists have found that people who engage in crime for prolonged periods throughout their lives often experience traumatic events early on. Using examples from the film, discuss how different events in the lives of the film's participants have impacted their homelessness and addiction. What is it about their lifestyle and life choices that impacts their homelessness? Q. Given what you know about deterrence, do you think laws that prohibit and criminalize drugs or legislation like the Safe Streets Act would help stop the film's participants from engaging in drug use or living on the streets? Explain why or why not you think these individuals would be deterred from using drugs.
