During Week 5, we studied social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. After you have read the reading assignment and lecture for this week, please respond to all parts of the discussion by the due date assigned: What are some of the factors that affect social mobility? Can these be overcome? Do you believe the structural-functionalist or the social conflict approach best explains social stratification? Why? How does the media reflect attitudes on gender as far as depicting women and men in very traditional roles? Provide two detailed examples that substantiate your points—these can be an advertisement, television show, website, or magazine. When you think of various groups (race, class, and gender) in society, which ones have the most power and which ones have the least? Using Intersection Theory, identify two groups that have unequal amounts of power and resources, being specific and using the text and outside resources. For each group, has the power dynamic changed over time? Do you think it will change in the future? Why or why not? Kendall, D. (2013). Sociology in Our Times, 11th .

Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a chosen diversity issue covered in the media. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: SHOW LESS Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy. Discuss how minority and dominant groups are portrayed in a media piece in relation to the influence of power. Discuss sociological concepts or theories appropriate for understanding the portrayal of diversity in the media. Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture. Summarize a media piece using the sociological perspective on diversity. Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data. Analyze data that are appropriate for supporting or refuting the central tenets of media piece. Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting. Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics. How are different social groups portrayed in the mass media in contemporary society? How far have we come in terms of reducing or eliminating stereotypical images and portrayals of minority groups? To answer these questions, we need to place them in the context of the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped postindustrial U.S. society and affected relationships between diverse groups in our society. For example, watching TV sitcoms and dramas today we see not only much greater diversity in cast members but also minority group members playing leading roles, something that was much less common just a few decades ago. As you analyze how the various media forms portray cultural diversity, another thing to consider is the role of people with power in the media industry—those who make the decisions about what stories and images appear on a TV news program or magazine or newspaper article and how those programs or stories will be framed. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment. SHOW LESS Some sociologists who study the media argue that the media is a reflection of what is already happening in society, while others contend that the media manipulates its audience by portraying events or issues with a particular slant or goal in mind. What do you think? Does the media reflect what is already going on in society, or.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts. As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk. Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media. We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority. Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

Discussion Impact of Ageism and AdultismAdultism refers to .docx

duketjoy27252

Discussion: Impact of Ageism and Adultism Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The popular saying "children should be seen and not heard" is used as a way to remind a child of his or her place and reaffirm the adult's power in the relationship. The saying suggests that children's voices are not as important or as valid as an adult's and they should remain quiet. Children are often relegated to subordinate positions due to socially constructed beliefs about what they can or cannot accomplish or what they should or should not do; this in turn compromises youth's self-determination. This oppression is further highlighted when considering the intersection of age with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. You will be asked to consider all of these when reviewing the Logan case and Parker case. Post an analysis of the influence of adultism in the Logan case. Then, explain how gender, race, class, and privilege interact with adultism to influence the family's discourse related to Eboni's pregnancy as well as other family dynamics.

The Social Construction of Gender, in Sociology by Boundless, is used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. © 2014, boundless.com 1 The Social Construction of Gender Social constructivists propose that there is no inherent truth to gender; it is constructed by social expectations and gender performance. Learning Objective  Explain Judith Butler's concept of gender performativity Key Points  Social constructionism is the notion that people's understanding of reality is partially, if not entirely, socially situated.  Gender is a social identity that needs to be contextualized.  Individuals internalize social expectations for gender norms and behave accordingly. Terms  social constructionism The idea that social institutions and knowledge are created by actors within the system, rather than having any inherent truth on their own.  Gender performativity Gender Performativity is a term created by post-structuralist feminist philosopher Judith Butler in her 1990 book Gender Trouble, which has subsequently been used in a variety of academic fields that describes how individuals participate in social constructions of gender.  essentialism The view that objects have properties that are essential to them. Social Constructionism The social construction of gender comes out of the general school of thought entitled social constructionism. Social constructionism proposes that everything people "know" or see as "reality" is partially, if not entirely, socially situated. To say that something is socially constructed does not mitigate the power of the concept. Take, for example, money. Money is a socially constructed reality. Paper bills are worth nothing independent of the value individuals ascribe to them. The dollar is only worth as much https://www.boundless.com/sociology/textbooks/boundless-sociology-textbook/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ 2 as value as Americans are willing to ascribe to it. Note that the dollar only works in its own currency market; it holds no value in areas that don't use the dollar. Nevertheless, the dollar is extremely powerful within its own domain. These basic theories of social constructionism can be applied to any issue of study pertaining to human life, including gender. Is gender an essential category or a social construct? If it is a social construct, how does it function? Who benefits from the way that gender is constructed? A social constructionist view of gender looks beyond categories and examines the intersections of multiple identities and the blurring of the boundaries between essentialist categories. This is especially true with regards to categories of male and female, which are viewed typically as binary and opposite. Social constructionism seeks to blur the binary and muddle these two categ ...

IntersectionalityIntersectionality is a theory that was develope

TatianaMajor22

Intersectionality Intersectionality is a theory that was developed by Kimberle Crenshaw, a feminist of color who was troubled by the more mainstream notions of feminism that seemed to exclude the experiences of women of color and queer women in the 1970s and 1980s (Bubar, et al., 2016). Over the past decade, intersectionality has become a prominent theory in social work education as the profession has given much more attention to the impact of colonization on social work clients. The foundations of intersectionality and post-colonial approaches to social work are built on the idea that populations on the margins who have been most impacted by issues of racism, colonization, sexism, homophobia, and many other forms of marginalization are often not included in conversations addressing these issues. In social work, intersectionality has largely been looked as a framework for understanding how issues of power, privilege intersect and focuses largely on the complex and diverse experiences that people have related to their race, class, gender, SOGI (sexual orientation gender identity), ability, etc. For instance, if we were looking at the experience of a teenager who is placed in the foster care system, those experiences might look different for a child who is black when compared to a child who is white. Similarly, the experiences for a child who is gay, or lesbian might look different than a child who is not. An intersectional lens or analysis would expose the diversity of experiences within groups. An important component of both intersectionality and post-colonial social work is the attention that is given to both the oppressed and the oppressor. A common critique of many social work theories it they fail to address the role of the oppressor, especially when it comes to issues of racism and gender violence. Intersectionality and post-colonial social work place a strong emphasis on issues of power and privilege and the way that oppressions work together to produce injustice. Consider the following case example: Elsa is a 34-year old woman who migrated to the U.S. from Guatemala after her ex-husband and his father had threatened violence against Elsa and her 8-year old son. Both Elsa and her son are undocumented. Nearly a year after arriving in the U.S she and her son were living with a boyfriend that she had met at her workplace. The boyfriend was controlling with Elsa and her son and has recently started to perpetrate behaviors that Elsa considered to be both psychologically and physically abusive. An intersectional and post-colonial approach to Elsa's case would offer a lens to look at the factors related to her identity, status, socioeconomic that would make Elsa's more vulnerable to being in an abusive relationship. For instance, does Elsa's undocumented status make her more vulnerable to force or threats, control tactics such as financial control, humiliation, and emotional isolation. Furthermore, intersectional and post-colonial approaches ...

Article Intersectionality as a Useful Tool: Anti-Oppressive Social Work and Critical Reflection Tina Mattsson 1 Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work 2014, 29(1) 8-17 ª The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0886109913510659 aff.sagepub.com Abstract This article introduces intersectionality as a usable tool for critical reflection, which as a part of the critical social work tradition aims to challenge oppression and inequality. It is argued that in critical reflection, oppression and injustice are often understood in general terms and that oppression and inequalities related to gender, sexuality, class, and race therefore risk being neutralized and undetected. The suggestion is made that by using an intersectional approach, which focuses the interplay and complexity between gender, sexuality, class, and race, critical reflection gets the capacity to keep central power relations in urgent focus. Keywords anti-oppressive social work, critical social work, critical reflection, intersectionality, oppression Introduction: Oppression and Critical Social Work Critical and radical social work has been occupied with oppression and the ways through which social structures shape social work practice since the 1960s. It criticizes traditional social work for maintaining and reinforcing oppression and inequality, as social problems are usually understood as an effect of the individual’s lack of ability to cope with everyday life. By the view of critical social workers and researchers, social work should be a practice with an ambition to challenge inequality, marginalization, and oppression at a structural level by using structural understandings of social problems (Adams, Dominelli, & Payne, 2002; Bailey & Brake, 1975; Dominelli, 2002; Pease & Fook, 1999; Sakamoto & Pitner, 2005). The interest in critical and anti-oppressive social work has increased during the last decades, and several critical social work theorists have stressed the need for critical perspectives in a world affected by and dependent on globalization and market economy (Dominelli, 2002; Fook, 2002; Lewis, 2001; Morley, 2004; Stepney, 2005). Globalization creates economical standardization and increasing economical dependency between states. At the same time, it increases Western, industria- lized countries’ monopolies of technological, financial, communications, and weaponry resources. 1 School of social work, Lund University, Lund, Sweden Corresponding Author: Tina Mattsson, School of social work, Lund University, Box 23, SE-221 00 Lund, Sweden.

Discussion Gender Identity AnalysisMales typically identify wit

widdowsonerica

Discussion: Gender Identity Analysis Males typically identify with the male gender and females with the feminine gender. The question for many researchers today and for this Discussion is: How does this gender identification occur? How do individuals come to identify with and accept themselves as either one gender or the other? This concept is termed gender identity in psychology. There are two terms associated with gender identity that are important to highlight: gender stability and gender consistency . Gender stability means that gender is a stable personal characteristic and does not change with age or the situation or the environment. Gender consistency means that you identify with your gender regardless of how you are behaving. If you are a male and put on a pink dress, you show gender consistency if you still identify with being male, even though you are behaving like a female. In this Discussion, you will explore some of the significant factors that influence gender identity and how these influencing factors impact society as a whole. To prepare for this Discussion: Review Chapter 6 in the course text, Gender: Psychological Perspectives . Focus on how different factors influence gender identity. Read “Demographic and Psychosocial Factors Associated With Psychological Distress and Resilience Among TransgenderIndividuals” and “Cross-Cultural Analysis of Gender Roles: Indian and US Advertisements.” Watch a few different TV shows, sitcoms, commercials, or news reports. Also, look at a popular magazine and peruse the ads. Think about how these media sources 1) influence and or reinforce gender identity and 2) play a part in influencing gender bias. Focus on specific examples. Using yourself or your child (or someone else's child with whom you are close), think about the most important influential factors on gender identity, including biological, environmental, family, peer group, and cultural. With these thoughts in mind: By Day 3 Post your thoughts on how biology, environment, culture, family, peer group, and the media impact gender identity in the United States. Briefly describe how this influence on gender identity is accomplished. Then, describe the reasons individuals may experience gender dysphoria. Finally, provide some examples for how you think that society can best support the transgendered community. Be sure to support your examples with evidence from your research. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. ...
