Begin by summarizing the key points of the assigned article for week 7 by Aaroe, Petersen, & Arseneaux (2017) o
the impact of the ‘behavioral immune system’ on attitudes towards immigration. This section should comprise
approximately half the length of your write-up.
Next, go explore recent news features (‘recent’ = any time within the past year or two) to find examples of negativ
attitudes towards immigrants which seem to reflect the type of threat-based responding that Aaroe et al. describe
The news features can be from TV, radio, podcasts, etc., and they may be local, national, or international. Describ
the examples and explain clearly how each one maps on to the theoretical framework and/or research findings
described by Aaroe et. al. Be sure to provide direct quotes or very close paraphrases of the news features so that
can tell if your mapping is accurate. (I’m not picky of what recent news feature you use)
