SOC 202 Under Represented Communities Essay
So far, we have read a few articles about various misconceptions. The authors of these articles reveal aspects of a communal identity that are misrepresented or underrepresented in life or by the media.

Use Times New Roman font, size 12. The essay should be submitted in a Word document on Blackboard. 5. Pay special attention to grammar, especially sentence clarity and variety. 6.
