- Race is socially constructed. What does that mean? Can you give examples of how it is socially constructed (i.e. examples of changes over time).
- “One aspect of our identity is gender. How were you socialized into learning what was considered culturally appropriate behavior for your gender? Which agents of socialization taught you these cultural norms, and which was the most significant in shaping your sense of self? Explain.” (Croteau, Hoynes, and Stamm 2024)
You must cite and reference lectures and readings in your answers to receive full credit. Each question is worth 50% of your grade on this assignment.
Additionally, include and define two key terms from the relevant textbook chapters in each of your responses. You are encouraged to use the terms used in the prompts such as "race," "gender," and "agents of socialization," in your answers.
The textbook is "Fifth Edition Experience Sociology, David Croteau / William Hoynes / Tara Stamm" I have also provided a screenshot of the cover page so you know which one it is.
