Answer to Question 1

Race is meant to be a biological categorization (e.g., hair and skin color), whereas
ethnic group is meant to be a category based on national origin, religion, customs,
and language. Social scientists prefer not to use race, because there are no
clear-cut categories. SES refers to income, education, community, etc., and is
related to ethnic group but is certainly not the same.

Answer to Question 2

Students should affirm that age matters in this case. Specific views will vary, but
students should demonstrate an understanding of the importance of historical
context. For instance, 70-year-olds grew up without computers, 30-year-olds grew
up using computers for a much more limited number of tasks, and 12-year-olds have
grown up using the computer as a means of communication.
