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 tying 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.

Which of the three ethical principles covered so far would be the most appropriate approach to ethical dilemmas encountered in the twenty-first century? Remember that Aristotle’s focus was virtue, Kant’s was duty, and John Stuart Mill’s was utility. Defend your answer. Include in your discussion reasons why the other two principles would not work as well today. Support your writing assignment with two (2) outside scholarly articles

In a one-page, double-spaced response, answer the following writing prompt using the PowerPoint information about how socialization can influence one’s development, one of the readings, personal experience, and the example below. “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This quote is from the Declaration of Independence reflects that basic philosophy of a democratic society. Time has proven, however, that race and ethnicity are examples of diverse dimensions characters by inequality. These determine how the United States distributes resources, such as school funding, grants to communities, scholarships and so on. The US Bureau of Census has delineated the following racial classification, requiring all federal agencies to use these categories on their data collection and analysis: American Indian and Alaskan Native Asian Black or African American Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander White Hispanics/Latinos are a separate classification because they are considered to be an ethic group, rather than a single race, and distinguished by culture. Thus, each of the race classifications has a subcategory of Hispanic and non-Hispanic. The diverse dimensions of race and ethnicity are significant ways people define themselves and others. They impact relationships, neighborhoods, schools, work, politics, and the media. Looking at the above information and reflecting on the course content, can you associate any of the socialization methods discussed to your ethnic heritage? Why or why not? How does socialization ensure that you conform to your social or cultural group? Explain and provide some specific examples.
