Guidelines for reading response due this Sunday (9/21) by 8pm

“Structural violence” is violence committed not by a single person but rather, by a larger governmental structure. The violent act committed in this case is not always something outright, like a gunshot or a blow to the head, but it can be something more subtle, like depriving people of income, food or shelter.

In your reading response, please focus on the concept of structural violence. Find one or more specific examples of it from the chapters you read. Talk about 1) which political-social-economic forces have led to this example of structural violence, 2) who are the ones that suffer from it, and 3) what are the specific ways in which they suffer from it.
