Stereotypes Set by Culture and Society

Assignment 1: Stereotypes Set by Culture and Society

Sociology came into existence in the 19th century to explain the enormous changes occasioned by the Industrial Revolution, urbanization, and an individualistic mind-set. Unlike agrarian communities, the emerging urban populations were large, numbering in the tens of thousands.

These city dwellers neither grew their own food nor knew each other. In characterizing individuals, they found it convenient to speak in categories or stereotypes. According to the structural-functional perspective, stereotypes served an important communication function, helping them to compare and contrast groups.

The social-conflict perspective, on the other hand, argues that stereotypes serve the needs of those groups and categories benefitting from social inequality. Stereotypes help dominant groups to contrast social categories and to justify subordinating the less powerful. Furthermore, by lumping subordinate groups into faceless statistical categories, members of the dominant group dissipate the guilt they would have felt were they dealing with the subordinate categories as individuals.

Based on your readings, the online lectures, and your understanding of the above-noted issues, prepare a response to the following question:

Is it possible to speak of ethnic groups in America in terms other than stereotypes?

Create a response in 3 paragraphs to the discussion question. Cite sources and include references in your response.

Supporting Literature for Proposed Group

The next step for your group proposal is to analyze the current group literature to provide a strong foundation for your planning for the group. We will assume your supervisor has approved your proposed topic and the population for your psychotherapy, counseling, or grief group and is looking for you to carefully study what has already been written about similar groups before you develop any specific plans for the proposed group.

Locate peer-reviewed articles published within the past seven years from professional journals that present a range of group counseling approaches for your topic. Compare the sources based on the strength of the group leadership approach and specific counseling theories presented.

In addition, locate sources that discuss ethical and multicultural issues relevant to group counseling for your selected population. Present a clear analysis of how specific ethical and diversity issues will be relevant to the proposed group citing the relevant ethical standards.

Assignment 2 (2-3 pages)

SCS 100 Project 3: Reflection Guidelines and Rubric

Overview Your third longer-term assignment in this course is a presentation or short paper in which you will share your question derived at the end of your observation journal in learning block 4-3 and discuss why it is important and how developments in the social sciences contribute to our understanding of ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

This final reflection will assess the following course outcomes, which you focused on throughout Theme 4: ● Investigate major developments in the progression of social scientific thought for informing critical questions that drive social scientific inquiry ● Articulate the value of the social sciences for their impact on contemporary issues

Prompt 

Your third project is a presentation or short paper (you are free to choose) that explores the question you posed at the end of your observation journal. With that question as your topic, you will explain why the answer to it is important to understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you and how the social sciences have developed to help us answer these important questions. The critical elements of this assessment will be evaluated by the information in your presentation or paper. Be sure your actual question is apparent on the presentation or paper.

I. Explain why your question is important to you as a member of society. II. Detail the major developments in social science thinking that drive questions regarding studying the individual. Use course resources to back up your discussion. III. Explain how finding the answer to your question might impact others around you. For instance, who might be most invested in the answer? IV. Detail the major developments in social science thinking that drive questions regarding studying others. Use course resources to back up your discussion. V. Explain why studying human behavior and identity is a valuable human endeavor. VI. Detail the major developments in social science thinking that support the study and advancement of the social sciences as necessary and valuable. Use course resources to back up your discussion.
