Define the term through the lenses of the four disciplinary worlds in the C3 and California History-Social Science Framework:

• What does the word look like historically? (What is the word’s etymology? How has that meaning changed over time?)

• What is the economic impact of the term? (i.e. What is the economic impact of discrimination?)
• What is the civic impact of the term? (i.e. What civic action(s) have been taken in the name of discrimination?)
