This week we will be discussing issues of race and ethnicity in the early modern period. To what extent is the nature of race and identity created by religion? Or is it created by trade and economics? Is it created by a shared language? Is it created by skin color? Is it created by wealth or inequality? Your question is this: How does a community begin to identify itself, and how does it see others? Feel free to share your thoughts on current events, personal history, or generalized ideas, as you feel appropriate. This is a graded discussion. You will need to make one original post, and make comments on two of your classmates' posts. Your comments must be substantive and engage your classmates in further discussion (not simply, I agree, or great post). Ask deeper questions of your classmates. Get to know them. Challenge them to think in different ways. But as always, be respectful, know when to back off, and know when to agree to disagree. You will also need to respond to each of the comments in thoughtful ways. I will remove any postings that are offensive in any way.

1. Marijuana has been legalized in several states. Some people believe this has resulted in an increase of impaired drivers on the road and that traffic fatalities have increased as a result. While some drug tests taken at the scene of accidents do indicate the presence of marijuana, such tests only reveal that the drug has been used -- they do not indicate actual intoxication, as indicators of marijuana use can stay in the system for days or even weeks after actual use. This is unlike alcohol, where a roadside test is a clear indicator in most cases of intoxication. What are some likely ethical issues arising from such testing? If people are using marijuana for medical reasons, they will most likely test positive for the drug's presence all the time, yet they will need to be able to drive. How can a "legal limit" be reasonably set if intoxication is not measured by certain tests?
