Think about socialization– the process by which an individual learns the norms, values, customs, and ideologies of the society and/or culture in which he or she lives. Americans tend to identify three sources for socialization: family, educational experiences, and the media. Write an essay that examines how the media has influenced your ideas/feelings about race and gender and what this means for the future of equality.
-Your analysis must:
1)have a clear thesis. If you need help constructing a thesis, consult this website: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/the_writing_process/thesis_statement_tips.html
2)cite at least three sources. The only acceptable sources are the textbook, the sources linked to the mini-lectures, your two individually-assigned documents, and your group members’ Blogs. Cite the source. Use the Chicago Manual of Style format for footnote citation. If you are unsure how to format a footnote in this manner, consult this website: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/chicago_manual_17th_edition/cmos_formatting_and_style_guide/chicago_manual_of_style_17th_edition.html

Note From Me –
1) I know I ordered 3 pages but do not do a full 3 pages as stated in the instructions by the lecturer. 2.5 pages is fine.
2) Do not use any outside source apart from the textbook, the historical documents that I will attach, and the 5 Blogs along with responses from each which I will also attach. The name of the textbook is the American Pageant: Volume II.
Focus specifically on Chapters 37 – 39.
I have also attached a list of sources that you may use.
3) The blogs most likely will be looking at the end of the 20th Century with an eye toward the present 21st Century. Taking a look at recent history will not only help tie together our study of American History since the Civil War, but will hopefully lay the groundwork for an understanding of where we are today.
4) It’s 2.5 pages so just use what you think is important, especially the responses from Britt Haas.
