Notes

This is an excellent essay. You show a good understanding of social psychology, good knowledge of the theories and have focused on a relevant issue that provides many connections to social psychology. What is particularly good here is the discussion of theory THROUGH and issue (racism). After a good account of theories you apply theory to an interview in an informed and thoughtful way. Using an interview in this way is quite innovative, shows hard working and independent thinking. An excellent essay overall. You have shown precision and breadth as well as depth of knowledge.
