Answer these questions in a three-page essay:
What is gender?
How does gender function?
Why do men and women appear to be different?
- Why is gender inequality so persistent?
- In this essay demonstrate what you have learned in this class. Don’t only give your opinion. Give your best assessment as to the answers to these questions, but back up your answers with evidence.
- You must draw on class concepts, theories and terms in your paper and cite sources using ASA format. You may, and are encouraged to, discuss course concepts, theories and terms in your own words. Citation is still required when you use concepts that are not your own original thoughts, even if you put them in your own words.
- You do not have to write the paper in four separate sections, but you can if it works better for you to do it that way.
You should think of this paper as a very well-written take-home essay. It should reflect what you learned from this class, in the language of this class.
The paper should be three double-spaced pages using Times New Roman, font size 12, 1” margins. Create a word document that has your full name at the top, a three-page essay, and references, in that order. Your header should not take up more than 3 double-spaced lines. You do not need a title or a title page. The three-page essay length does NOT include references or your name. If your formatting makes it difficult to tell how many double-spaced pages the body of your essay is (remember: it should be 3 double-spaced pages), we may take points off for page length.
Please upload a word or a PDF document onto Canvas. Please have the file named like this: YourLastName_YourFirstName_Assignment3_SOC155. You can earn up to 5 points for a properly formatted essay that follows the instructions for formatting on the assignment sheet (proper font size, appropriate spacing between paragraphs, etc.).
All ideas and evidence that are not originally your own should be properly cited using the American Sociological Association citation style, each time you use such an idea. You must use the ASA citation style in the text of your paper as well as in the reference section. You must have a list of references after the essay. You do not need any outside references, but you must
properly reference class materials. To see how to properly do references and citation using the ASA style see the PDF called “How To Do ASA Citations” at the top of our Canvas page.
All essays should be written so that a sociology undergraduate student or professor NOT in our class could read it and understand perfectly. Therefore, you should fully define terms learned in our class (for example, “gendered”, the “multi-level model of gender”, “deceptive differences”, etc.). When you define these terms, make sure you cite them in the proper ASA style.
You must refer to class readings and concepts, however, you do not need to refer to sources outside of what we read in class (though you can if you want to).
