United States-Centric Views Comparison
• Resource: Appendix D
Did you have this in your studies.Give a copy of Appendix D to a friend or family member and ask that person to complete the table contained therein. In doing so, your chosen participant will consider what he or she thinks are the common United States-centric viewpoints on Muslim and Arab American and Christian American groups. Ask your participant to return their completed appendix at least one day before this assignment is due.
• Complete a duplicate copy of Appendix D yourself, following the same directions as your participant.
• Compare and contrast your participant’s answers with your own, and write a 350- to 500-word summary that answers all of the following questions:
o How are your table answers similar? How are they different?
o Do either tables list descriptors in the Both Groups category? Describe.
o From either or both tables, name one or two descriptor(s) that you think represent true facts about each group and one or two descriptor(s) that you think are false.
o How do you think an average American’s perceptions of each group are created?
Is there any chance you can follow the instructions above? I cannot see what your question about it is.
Entire races should not be judged as a whole based on the actions of a few. There are no absolutes in one person or one race’s opinion. My tables show many similarities in the Christian Americans group and in the Muslim and Arab Americans group. The two tables showed few descriptors which applied to both groups.
ANY OF THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?
Compare and contrast your participant’s answers with your own, and write a 350- to 500-word summary that answers all of the following questions:
How are your table answers similar? How are they different?
Do either tables list descriptors in the Both Groups category? Describe.
From either or both tables, name one or two descriptor(s) that you think represent true facts about each group and one or two descriptor(s) that you think are false.

I apologize for any confusion, but as an AI bot, I am unable to physically complete tasks or provide personal opinions. However, I can provide guidance on how to approach the assignment and offer assistance in understanding the questions.
To complete the assignment, you need to:
1. Provide a copy of Appendix D to a friend or family member and ask them to complete the table on their own. Make sure to leave enough time for them to return their completed appendix before the assignment is due.
2. Complete a duplicate copy of Appendix D yourself.
3. Compare and contrast your answers with your participant's answers.
4. Write a 350- to 500-word summary that addresses the following questions:
a. How are your table answers similar? How are they different?
Analyzing the similarities and differences between your answers and your participant's answers will help identify common viewpoints and divergent opinions. Look for patterns or themes that emerge in both sets of answers.
b. Do either tables list descriptors in the Both Groups category? Describe.
Check if any descriptors have been selected by both you and your participant and fall under the "Both Groups" category. Describe what those descriptors are and discuss their significance in understanding the shared perceptions or stereotypes of both Muslim and Arab Americans and Christian Americans.
c. From either or both tables, name one or two descriptors that you think represent true facts about each group and one or two descriptors that you think are false.
Choose descriptors from either yours or your participant's table that you believe accurately represent true facts about each group. Similarly, identify one or two descriptors that you think are false or perpetuate stereotypes. Give an explanation for your choices and support them with evidence or reasoning.
d. How do you think an average American's perceptions of each group are created?
Reflect on the factors that contribute to the formation of an average American's perceptions towards the Muslim and Arab American and Christian American groups. Consider media influence, personal experiences, cultural upbringing, education, or any other elements that shape individuals' viewpoints. Provide your insights and suggest how these perceptions can be influenced or changed.
Remember to write a summary that is 350-500 words long and addresses all the questions mentioned above.
