Part II: Analyzing Masculinity and Femininity in Culture 200 WORDS
Review the gallery of photographs posted by you and your classmates. Based on the photographs that have been posted, what do we associate with masculinity and femininity in the broader culture? How do you know these are representations of masculinity and femininity? Address gender polarization, socialization, and gender ideals. Would this argument be similar in other cultures? Why or why not? Explain. Use specific examples from the photographs, and offer evidence to support your argument. Your course materials are full of sociological concepts, theories, and research that you can use to build and support your argument. You should not use your own experience or that of a family member or friend as evidence. Sociologists are scientists and use empirical research to draw conclusions about the social world. You are working as a sociologist in this course, so you should be using research (which is discussed in course materials) as evidence. Make sure you use your sociological imagination.
Part III: Analyze a Classmate’s Analysis . 150 WORDS
The final part of this activity is to analyze a classmate’s analysis. Consider whether your classmate has made a strong argument regarding the photo gallery. Did they identify patterns? Have they correctly used the course concepts? Do the examples they used enhance their argument? Think about these questions as your read through your classmates’ posts. Then, pick one post to analyze. Use course concepts to make your classmate’s argument even stronger, address inconsistencies in their argument, or refute their argument. The key here is to engage the course concepts as you address the argument made by your classmate. Your course materials are full of sociological concepts, theories, and research that you can use to analyze your classmate’s post, and use as evidence in your own argument. Avoid discussing whether you like or dislike what your classmate said, or whether you agree or disagree. You should not use your own experience or that of a family member or friend as evidence. Sociologists are scientists and use empirical research to draw conclusions about the social world. You are working as a sociologist in this course, so you should be using research (which is discussed in course materials) as evidence. Make sure you use your sociological imagination.
Your response may be to a classmate’s initial analysis, or to someone’s analysis of an initial argument. In other words, if Student X makes a post, and Student Y responds in disagreement about the initial post, you may respond to either Student X or Student Y’s response. Your responses may also be to a classmate’s analysis of your own post.
