Chpt 10 HW

Arguments that assume essentialist and not constructionist views of gender will get a grade of 0. This is a sociology class. Use the sociology you’ve learned whether you agree with it or not. I don’t give you a grade on your opinion, I give you a grade on whether you can demonstrate mastery of the subject. The subject is sociology. The subject is not your opinion. Summaries: (100 words or more each answer) (which is a paragraph)

• Define sex and gender essentialism without copying exactly what I said (restate it in your own words). Now Define sex and gender constructionism in your words. What is the scientific evidence that sex is not a binary?

• Discuss thoroughly the use of heteronormativity in our culture. Discuss what the Kinsey scale found about the nuances of sexuality. Pick an example of an institutional, cultural, OR interactional way in which society reinforces and reproduces heteronormativity.

• Discuss how a structural functionalist would view gender socialization. If sex and gender are empirically NOT binaries, why are we culturally beholden to the idea of sex as a binary?

• Now, discuss how a conflict theorist would see gender socialization. (Hint, CC Sociology #32 and 33, the way the structure is set up…. conflicting interests built into systems.)

5. Now, discuss how a Symbolic Interactionist would view gender socialization. (Hint, CC Sociology #32, 33)

• State a cultural belief, norm, or value about your gender. Was this value, norm, or belief instilled in your primary or secondary socialization? Who were the agents of socialization for this gender norm, value, or belief? Now discuss if you have conformed or rebelled to the gender norm, value, or belief. Why do you think you did or did not conform?
