Family)

We are socialized at every stage in life to conform to our gender
identity. Societal reinforcement of tendencies of gender identity is
relentless. For example, in hospitals, little girls are wrapped in pink and
little boys in blue. This difference in colors influences how we learn and
how we internalize our role in our society.
Girls tend to grow up to play feminine roles and boys tend to grow up to
play masculine roles. This differentiation of gender identity has
implications in social stratification. The videos given below will provide
you with a better understanding of the differentiation of sexual identity
from an earlier generation.
Search for and watch an episode of at least one of the following shows.
You may find these videos using a variety of search methods including
visiting your local library, using Netflix or your local video store, or
searching on YouTube. If you have difficulty locating an episode of one
of the following shows, contact your instructor for assistance in finding
an alternative.
I Love Lucy
All in the Family
The Mickey Mouse Club
The Honeymooners

2. Leave it to Beaver
Father Knows Best
Gilligan’s Island
The Brady Bunch
I Dream of Jeannie
As you watch the video, ask yourself the following questions:
To what extent have things changed and to what extent have they
remained the same in regards to gender roles, expectations, division, and
identity from the time this show was originally popular and today?
How conscious and sensitive are the characters regarding gender
prejudice, power inequality, and subordination?
Did they take inequality of the sexes for granted?
Based on your readings and understanding that you have gathered after
watching the above-noted video, write a short biographical description
of your life if you were to wake up tomorrow morning in the time period
of the video you watched and find you have a different gender identity.
Write a description of how you lived your life a day after your
hypothetical change in gender as you answer the following questions:
Discuss how you would react on finding out that your sex is opposite.
Would you feel a sense of relief, indifference, or elation? Why?
Discuss three ways your attitude towards the opposite sex was
enlightened or would change as a result of what you learned from this
project. If you would not change your attitude, why?

3. Write down the ideas and attitudes you have taken for granted a member
of your actual gender. Consider how your roles at home and in the office
would change if you were a member of the opposite gender.
Relate the ideas of sexism and racism to the videos. How do you think
sexism and racism have changed since the 1950s?

No one gets through life alone. To some extent, we are all products of
our environments. We learn from our families, schools, and cultures.
Every person has to face severe challenges and conquer obstacles. How
we face our challenges depends on how we are shaped by others and our
strength of character.
Certain individuals in our society have played powerful roles in the
evolution of prevailing norms. While we learn our culture from agents of
socialization, great leaders with lofty visions lead people and nations in
the direction of emancipation, economic prosperity, and political
freedom. Each of the following speeches tells the story of a struggle and
its leader. Each speech echoes the aspirations of thousands of people as
well as their desire to change their social situations.
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the power of
stereotypes as a shorthand communication tool. With great economy of
words, each speaker uses stereotypes to frame the audience into an in-

4. group of which he or she is the leader and the out-group on the opposing
side.
Part 1: Read transcripts of famous speeches
Part 2: Research other famous speeches
Explore various resources to research other famous speeches related to
stereotyping and prejudice. Some suggestions are below. You may be

What stereotype—prejudice, subordination, or discrimination—is the in-
group challenging? Provide specific examples and explain in around 300
words.
In your view, did members of the in-group conspire to subordinate the
out-group, or was the in-group merely operating within the social
structure of its time? Explain in around 300 words.
How have your attitudes toward prejudice, subordination, or
discrimination been influenced by the agents of socialization, such as

5. family, peer groups, schools, and the media? Explain in around 300

Prejudice in Current Events
FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT

The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice
in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the
races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class
stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course,
you will use the news media to discover current social issues with
regards to race and gender.

issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination
and/or stratification in American society.
Using your research, describe the current events and how they are
reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination
and/or stratification.
Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles.
What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events
representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class
discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be
applied to these current events?
In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to
the current events.
How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or
stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with
concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources.
Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA
standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper
