Watch the following brief (~7 minute) PBS clip about Linda Taylor, also known The Welfare Queen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr_8B1IzFFY
Share this clip with a friend, co-worker or family member and ask them to watch it (you may also discuss with a colleague in this class). After they watch it, discuss it with them. You might start by asking “What are your thoughts?” or “What came up for you when you watched this?” Make notes for yourself of your own thoughts/feelings about the conversation when you are done,OR
Reach out in your social media spaces and take an “informal poll”. Specifically, inquire of who has heard of “The Welfare Queen”. For those who have, try to follow up to see what they know. Make some notes for yourself about your own thoughts/feelings following this process, AND
Take some time to reflect on your own how this story might have been different if Linda Taylor was discovered to be a White woman in the U.S. who was accused of committing welfare fraud. Do you believe the outcome would be the same? Why or why not? Also reflect on what it might mean that Linda Taylor is most notable for accusations of welfare fraud versus the other accusations mentioned in the clip. What might that say about our values related to welfare versus our values related to the other accusations mentioned?

See full FAQWe complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.

You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.
After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.
