For this assignment, you will provide an in-depth sociological analysis of your gender socialization. Apply what C. Wright Mills called the sociological imagination to an analysis of your own experiences with gender socialization. Consider how they were shaped by social institutions and historical forces. Some of the questions you might consider are: What are some of the ways in which you are/were socialized into an “appropriate” gender role? How has that impacted your life, your work, or your family relations? How did various social institutions (e.g. your family, mass media, religious institutions, educational institutions, sports, etc.) shape your gender identity? How do these institutions shape gender identity in general, outside of your own experiences? Why do we place such great importance on “proper” gender role behavior? How does society deal with people who violate gender norms? How does gender socialization shape who we become as individuals? Your paper will be evaluated on its structure as well as its content. It should have an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement. The thesis statement makes clear what the main issue of your paper is. The body should be organized around the key points that support your thesis and provide examples to illustrate how your experience was shaped by social institutions. Use this as a rule of thumb: One idea per sentence, one topic per paragraph. The final paragraph is where you draw conclusions from the material presented in the body of your paper (not a summary). Drive home the main idea presented in your thesis. It is important you include in-text attributions consistently through this paper, especially when trying to key terms from our readings and your supplemental resource. Be sure to cite the textbook and one peer-reviewed sociological article in the paper. This APA style paper is worth 100 points. The body of your paper should be no less than 1,000 words in length.

Policy is always written in a historical context; that is, shaped by the norms, values, ideas, and attitudes of its authors and the general public at the time it was written. Identify a policy of interest to you. Study the history of the policy, review newspaper accounts, conduct personal interviews, and use other resources to determine what conditions may have influenced its authors. Also try to determine how those factors may have changed since the policy was written and whether the policy has been amended to accommodate those changes. The written assessment should be 3-5 pages in length, double-spaced, and in APA format. Issues to be included in your presentation are:What was the first policy written at a federal level regarding this problem?What problem was that policy originally designed to address?How was that policy shaped by the norms and values of the American people at that time?How effective was the policy in addressing the problem? Does the policy effectively address the problem today? If not, why not?Does the policy seem likely to effectively address the problem in the future? If not, why not?
