For ten points each, please answer each question in one paragraph per question and number your answers (a paragraph is 6 to 8 sentences). DO NOT cut/paste answers from the power point notes and please do not use bullets or numbers within your paragraphs. Refer to the attached rubric:
1. Social constructionism is the dominant sociological approach to understanding gender. Define this approach, explaining what it means to say that gender is a social construct. Be specific in your description, offering real-world examples to support your answer (think about the ways in which we do gender in daily life). How does this approach help better understand the ways in which gender have changed over time? Finally, compare social constructionism to one other historical or cross-cultural variation in gender studies pointing to any overlap or differences you see in the approaches.
2. Popular psychology books often profile the behaviors and characteristics of the “opposite sexes.” Based on your understanding of material from Chapter 1, how would you critique this labeling of men and women? Make sure your answer demonstrates your understanding of essentializing, androgyny, and sex and gender.
3. Describe three cultural structures and practices that reflect and promote a culture’s views of gender and sex.
4. Four-year-old Caroline and seven-year-old Jenny are sisters who live and have been raised in the United States. Jenny plays a game in which she is a mother and her stuffed animals are her children. Jenny hugs them and pretends to carefully feed them. Later, young Caroline repeats the same hugging and feeding behaviors with her dolls. Caroline’s mother sees this and states, “Caroline, someday you’ll be a good mommy.” How would anthropological theory of gender explain Caroline’s behaviors? How would cognitive development theory explain Caroline’s behaviors? Make sure you address “maternal instinct” in your answer.
5. Compare and contrast third-wave feminism and multiracial feminism. In your essay, note similarities as well as differences between the two movements’ values, goals, principles, and demographics of membership.
6. Men’s rights movements argue that a number of contemporary policies and practices are discriminatory toward men; moreover, some men’s rights groups argue that feminism is at least partially responsible for the implementation of these practices and policies. Identify one contemporary policy or practice that men’s movements have identified as discriminatory and explain whether or not you agree with that classification.
7. Describe what is meant by a traitorous identity. Then, either hypothetically or from your own experience, describe a scenario in which someone performs a traitorous identity. Why do you think this behavior is difficult for some people? Why is it important to perform?
8. In what ways does language organize perceptions of gender through stereotyping and polarized perceptions of sex and gender?
9. What is the relationship level of meaning and how is it conveyed nonverbally? In your answer, be sure to define the three dimensions of relationship-level meaning and give examples of each.
10. Explain which nonverbal behaviors may be employed to exert power and control and examine the link to gender.
