The memo will be to an imaginary policy decision maker based on the topic of Housing Discrimination[1] or Gentrification.[2] Housing Discrimination can take place, but not limited to, those holding housing
vouchers, same-sex couples and transgender people, families with small children, racial and ethnic
minorities, and people with disabilities. Gentrification is a form of neighborhood change that occurs when higher-income groups move into low-income areas, potentially altering the cultural and financial landscape of the original neighborhood. In the most recent decade, gentrification has been manifested in the “return to the cities,” with redevelopment and investment in many downtown areas of the nation.

Produce a 2-3 page memo on the topic outlined below and to prepare a 5 minute presentation.
Should be 12 point font, double-spaced, with 1 inch margin.
The creation of the International Criminal Court in the late 1990s represents a watershed moment in the development of international authority over war crimes and large-scale atrocities. Despite the enthusiasm with which the ICC was greeted by many states at its inception, the United States has taken a more ambivalent view. US attitudes toward the court have varied from reluctant and muted support during the Obama and Biden administrations to full throated opposition and hostility under the Bush and Trump administrations. What explains US hostility towards the ICC? What are the arguments for and against US membership in the ICC? Which of these arguments do you find most convincing and why?
Structure: In the first section, discuss the reasons and arguments that US officials and others have offered for why the US should continue to remain outside of the ICC. In the second section, make an argument for whether the US should join the ICC and why. NOT discuss the structure, jurisdiction or authority of the ICC in your memo.

Go to the IAT website (Links to an external site.). Alternately, you can search for the “Implicit Association Test” using your search engine.
Find the box on the left labeled “Project Implicit Social Attitudes.” You may want to proceed as a guest user rather than registering, so click “GO!” in the lower panel of the box, next to the U.S. English window.
Read the information and disclaimer in the next window. Then, click “I wish to proceed.” Take the following tests: Race IAT; Age IAT; Gender- Career IAT; Disability IAT; Religion IAT; and Sexuality IAT.
Learn more about the IAT by clicking the “Education” button on the top of the window after you finish the tests and then clicking “About the IAT.” Browse the rest of the site and, especially, read the “Frequently Asked Questions.
Once you have completed the steps above, you can start draft
Questions
What is an “implicit” attitude? How does implicit prejudice differ from affective prejudice, stereotypes, social distance, and modern racism? Hint: visit the Frequently Asked Questions (Links to an external site.) page of Project Implicit Social Attitudes for definitions of some of these concepts and other useful information.
If the test shows you have a preference for one group over another, does this mean that you are prejudiced against the less preferred group? Do you feel that the test accurately reflects your feelings and ideas? Why or why not? (Remember that your implicit attitudes can be quite different from your explicit or conscious attitudes.)
Based on what we have read so far in this course, how can implicit attitudes affect a diverse workplace? Provide at least 2 examples, citing any two of the readings we have reviewed so far in the course.
Should public administrators be trained to deal with implicit attitudes in the workplace? Why, why not?
Were you personally surprised by the results of any of the tests (you do not have to disclose your results)? If the IAT shows that you have a group preference you would rather not have, what are some things you could do to change these preferences?
Any other reflection you want to share?
