1. What is the “’master narrative’ about weight in the United States” according to Honeycutt? What are the master narrative’s “ideological underpinnings?” 2, Based on their responses to the master narrative, she classifies her respondents into three groups: the Fat Busters, the Equivocators, and the Fat Boosters. How does she define each group, especially in terms of how they view their weight and appearance? 3. How does Honeycutt use Table 1 in her argument? Why does she include it and what information does it convey? 4. She argues that the Fat Busters’ perspective can be viewed as “an accommodation of gender norms,” especially regarding femininity (131). How is this the case? 5. She claims the Equivocators are passive in several ways. How so? 6. She discusses an exchange between two members during dinner at the 1997 NAAFA national convention (133). What was this exchange, and how does Honeycutt use it as evidence to support her claim? 7. In the final sections, she focuses on the similarities between the three groups, similarities which she didn’t anticipate finding. How are the groups similar, especially in relation to the role of “surveillance” (136) and “cultural hegemony?” (137) .

1. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was developed in the 1930s-1940s by researchers Hathaway and McKinley to assess personality traits. 2. They used the method of contrasted groups, comparing responses of clinical groups (e.g. neurotics) to normal controls, to identify items that best distinguished the groups. 3. The original MMPI consisted of 550 true/false questions assessing various clinical scales. It became widely popular and established the foundation for modern personality assessment.

Stereotypes of Muslims and Support for the War on Terror .docx

whitneyleman54422

Stereotypes of Muslims and Support for the War on Terror John Sides Department of Political Science George Washington University [email protected] Kimberly Gross School of Media and Public Affairs George Washington University [email protected] January 2011 Abstract We investigate Americans’ stereotypes of both Muslims and Muslim-Americans. We find that negative stereotypes relating to violence and trustworthiness are commonplace and that little distinguishes Muslims from Muslim-Americans in the public’s mind. Furthermore, these stereotypes have consequences: those with less favorable views of Muslims are more likely to support several aspects of the War on Terror. 1 Since September 11, 2001, American politics and governance has largely focused on the “War on Terror” and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite many differences, these wars have a common feature: an interaction between the United States and the Muslim world. This interaction raises two important but overlooked questions: First, what do Americans think about Muslims living in the United States and elsewhere? And second, do these attitudes toward Muslims shape attitudes toward the War on Terror and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?1 Political issues often have a group-centric basis, whereby the group directly implicated by an issue is central to the politics of that issue and to attitudes about that issue. The War on Terror may be such an issue, and yet relatively little research has explored the group-centric basis of American attitudes toward the War on Terror. In particular, few studies have examined Americans’ views of Muslims themselves and the role these views play—even though the “enemy” in both wars has been repeatedly identified by its religious identity. References to Islam range from sweeping generalizations—e.g., when the Reverend Franklin Graham called it “a very evil and a very wicked religion”—to more nuanced differentiations of mainstream Muslims from violent extremists—e.g., when President George W. Bush singled out “Islamo-Fascists.” Although it is clear, both in reality and often in the rhetoric of American political leaders, that the War on Terror implicates a small subset of Muslims, in the minds of some Americans this distinction may give way to a generalized conception of the enemy that implicates Muslims more broadly. Thus, despite attempts to differentiate extremists like al-Qaeda from Islam writ large, group-centrism may affect public opinion about the War on Terror, with those having derogatory attitudes about Muslims more likely to support these wars. Before we can clarify the effect of attitudes toward Muslims on support for the War on Terror, we must first understand how Americans view Muslims themselves. Although survey data reveals unfavorable attitudes toward Muslims, Muslim-Americans, and Islam generally, political scientists know little about the specifics .

The document discusses in-groups and out-groups, how they are formed, and the dynamics between them. It describes how in-groups exclude outsiders but can change over time. Reference groups are groups that individuals identify with or want to belong to. Out-groups are often defined by their differences from the dominant in-group. Stereotyping of out-groups can lead to discrimination and sometimes violence through a cycle of confrontation between groups. While some group differences are real, stereotypes often exaggerate and overgeneralize traits to whole groups.

Review for Midterm, American Culture1. Individualism and civi.docx

joellemurphey

Review for Midterm, American Culture 1. Individualism and civic or community involvement. What does individualism mean in American culture, how it relates to concepts and values such as freedom, democracy, civic responsibility, community involvement. Be able to discuss how all this is related. Be able to discuss the concept of social capital and its decline. Understand and be able to explain the difference between utilitarian liberalism and moral liberalism. How do Americans connect their own fulfillment to that of other people, despite (or because of) individualism? 2. America as a land apart. This examines how Americans have always thought of America as somehow different, special, set apart from other people, cultures, or countries. It applies to questions like whether America is seen as a haven for the world’s oppressed, as a power in the world, etc. It refers to how many generations of immigrants have seen America and why they came here. It also refers to several opposing or conflicting attitudes and values, such as isolationism (America should not get involved with the rest of the world), nativism (foreign immigrants are the problem), extreme patriotism? What are the positive and negative sides to American exceptionalism? 3. Equality and inequality. This includes the tensions between our cultural ideals and values of equality and the reality of inequality in America—poverty, racism, the heritage of slavery and relations to Native Americans, etc. You should be able to explain how/why social categories such as race, social class, and even gender, as socially constructed, not biological or inherent--how racial and class categories are socially constructed and negotiated and “man-made,” rather than biologically inherent and “God-given.” Basically: our physical and genetic traits are inherent and given, but how we and others choose to perceive, emphasize, or ignore various physical and genetic traits, how we place people into arbitrary categories based on these traits, and how we set one category as “higher” or better than another are all socially constructed and learned. We can look at inequality as giving different groups of people different access to wealth, power, and prestige, and how the same social categories that define our identity (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.) also place us somewhere in a social hierarchy. We can always “negotiate” and try to change this. How can inequality be seen on the level of individuals and images (personal attitudes of prejudice, etc.), institutions discrimination, (policies and practices of institutions that perpetuate racism or inequality), and ideology (systems of attitudes, beliefs, ideas, and symbols that rationalize and support or challenge the “rightness” of a situation of inequality).We can change individuals on the level interpersonal relationships, but if we do not change institutional policies and practices and develop an alternative ideology, we won’t change inequality.

Sociology of Mental Health Fall 2015 Exercise 2 Essay Ques.docx

lorileemcclatchie

Sociology of Mental Health Fall 2015 Exercise 2 Essay Questions: Please respond to THREE of the following questions in essays 1.5 to 2 pages long. 1) In Mad in America, Robert Whitaker argues that the treatment of mental illness is a “prism through which to view a society.” Put another way, he suggests, “Medical treatments for the severely mentally ill inevitably reflect the societal and philosophical values of the day (xv).” For this essay, please compare and contrast the dominant paradigm of mental illness treatment in two historical periods discussed in the book. You should consider: the underlying assumptions about the causes of mental illness; the prevailing treatment(s) of the day; how the mentally ill were regarded; and then describe what this tells us about that particular society at that particular time. 2) At the heart of Whitaker’s study is a question: Why do people with mental illness in the United States fare less well than people in poorer countries? Use Mad in America, as well as the other texts for our class, to address this question. Ask yourself, why might this be the case? What are the social, cultural and economic features of U.S. society that contribute to this situation? You may want to focus on the three or four most significant factors and explain how they all contribute to this situation. 3) Utilizing Karp’s “In Sickness and in Health” and one other reading from Voices from the Inside, compare and contrast caring for a family member with a physical illness to caring for a family member with a mental illness. In what ways are they similar, in what ways are they different? What accounts for the differences? What factors to social perceptions play? Do these differences matter, why or why not? Explain. 4) Karp and Sisson write, “I believe that one of the most important missions of sociology is to give voice…to the experiences of those whose voices and experiences would typically otherwise be blunted, marginalized…or simply ignored. If we want to understand how society works…we need particularly to listen well to the narratives of those who are too often powerless, marginalized, disenfranchised, and stigmatized (p. 4).” What do the narratives presented in Voices From the Inside tell us about how society works? Utilizing at least two selections from the book, please identify and discuss at least two different lessons these narratives tell us about how society works regarding mental health and illness. In general, the responses will be evaluated as follows: 1) Each response should be written in an essay format (introduction, body and conclusion-writing matters!). 2) Incorporation of specific examples from the relevant texts (you should demonstrate that you have a solid grasp of the material by drawing on the texts to support your claim, argument or analysis). If you pull an exact quote from one of our readings, you must include the author’s last name, year of publication and page number. For exam.

Looking Into the Clinicians MirrorCultural Self-Assessment.docx

smile790243

Looking Into the Clinician's Mirror Cultural Self-Assessment 0 ne of my friends was in a spiritual growth group whose members became quite close. They provided each other with a warm, supportive environment to share their joy and pain. Everyone except my friend and her husband were European American, but this did not seem to be an issue until one meeting, when my friend shared her pain about what she believed to be a racist comment from someone outside the group. Rather than validate her experience, the group asked her questions about why the person would make such a comment. They seemed to be looking for a way to justify it and, in the process, implied that she was overreacting. As the tension built, one member objected to the time being spent on this issue, saying, "You know, this is a spiritual growth group, not an antiracism group." My friend replied, "But racism is a spiritual issue for me." Unfortunately, the group members were unanimous in their inability to see this situation from my friend's perspective; the result was that she and her husband decided to leave the group. The dictionary defines privilege as a right or immunity that gives the individual a distinct advantage or favor; in contrast, the term oppressed is described as the state of being bur- dened spiritually or mentally, suppressed or crushed by an abuse of power (Merriam-Webster, 1983). Mclntosh (1998) compared White privilege to an invisible knapsack that White 41http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/11650-003 Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice: Assessment, Diagnosis, and Therapy (2nd Ed.), by P.

For example, European Amer- icans can usually choose to be in the company of their own race when they want to be, they are not asked to speak for their race, they rarely have trouble finding housing because of their race, and so on. However, as discussed in chapter 2, privilege also tends to isolate people, cutting them off from information and experiences related to specific minority groups that could be helpful and enrich their lives. In my friend's case, the privilege experienced by the European Americans in the group led them to believe that racism was not the problem, and because they all agreed with each other, their position of "rightness" was affirmed. The only information they had to contradict their belief was that provided by my friend and her husband, whose views were easily dismissed because they were in the minority. People all have their own unique identities and experiences, and con- sequently the areas in which they hold privilege vary. In general, though, these privileged areas are often those in which people hold the least awareness. The challenge then is to recognize ...

Enslaved Africans resisted the harsh realities of the New World as a cohesive unit. Their culture today is more complex than the stereotypes often associated with it.
