The Big Sort

We are about to watch an excerpt from a video summarizing a book called The Big Sort. This book has some fascinating ideas that we will be using as supporting evidence in an op-ed we will be reading. So, paying attention to this video is crucial because it will provide valuable information.

We will be watching the video twice. We will watch it the first time without stopping, so you can focus on the big ideas without taking any notes. Then, we will watch it again, but this time, we will pause it after each point to allow you to clarify the ideas with your peers and write them down in your own words.

In this video, we will explore Bishop's main idea and purpose. We will also discuss how Bishop describes American life in the 1960s and how he described life in 2004 when he wrote the book. Additionally, we will be discussing the factors that caused the change and the effects of this change.
