Chapter 8 Quiz:
Choose any TED Talk from TED.com that deals with any concept from chapter 8 (sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender roles/norms, etc.). It cannot be a TED Talk we have done this week or one you have done for extra credit. Give me the link, summarize, apply to sociology, and review just like the TED Reflections. (Worth 20 points).
How are sex and gender related to biological sex differences? How are occupations segregated by gender? What is the “second shift”? Make a list of at least three occupations you have or are considering. What are the occupational characteristics that appeal to you? Explore occupations at data.census.gov at the US Census website, and find out the gender composition of each occupation. Any surprises? Why or why not? (Worth 25 points).
How does gender intersect with other dimension of the stratification system like race and class? Now consider your own identity in intersectional perspective by making a list of the identities that describe you and/or your actions. Are there any privileged identities? Are there any less-privileged identities? Why are some identities more privileged than others? How can you see this in your own life? Give several examples (at least three). (Worth 15 points).
