Journal entries are meant to take information learned from the text and apply it

Journal entries are meant to take information learned from the text and apply it to real world situations. I am looking for equal parts discussion of the text and how you can apply it to the world around you. You will miss points for not including discussion of the text and only including personal reflection.
Each entry is worth 40 points. Please do not complete a journal entry without reading the accompanying chapter You will be expected to demonstrate your understanding of the text by referring back to the text and citing page numbers (p.00) as such in each journal entry.
Journal entries will be graded on depth, citations, and fully considering all questions posed in the journal assignment for the chapter. Good journal postings are thoughtful and reflective and are tied back to the content in the class using citations. What are you learning in class that helps you understand your world better? Be creative and honest, and work to produce college-level writing.
To submit your journals, please cut and paste your text in the “entry message” box in the journal submission area. This is the only assignment you will submit this way. All others will be attached. For some reason Blackboard makes us download journal entries if they are attached which takes some time.
Please number your answers.
Journal #6:
The division of labor in students’ homes.
Wade and Ferree introduced three gender ideologies that drive contemporary divisions of labor in the home: traditionalism, neotraditionalism, and egalitarianism. Think back to your own families, considering:
What gender ideologies do you think your parents believed in? Did they agree? Did their ideologies change over time? Why? (basically did they agree who should be responsible for specific household duties?)
Were they able to organize their lives in accordance with their ideologies? That is, was their actual division of labor in line with what you think they wanted? Why or why not?
If you were raised by two parents, were they equally happy with the arrangements? How did they negotiate with each other? Did one parent get his or her way more often? Did this change over time? Was the division of labor a factor in arguments, separation, divorce? If your parents divorced, did they remarry someone with the same ideology as their previous spouse? Different?
What resources, or lack thereof, contributed to their ability or inability to enact their ideologies? Did disagreement with each other, sudden job surprises (good or bad), illness, or other unexpected life events affect them? How did their ideologies fit or bump up against the context of their life?
