Professor MacDonald is considering taking a job with a major media news outlet. However, his training as a sociologist has him concerned that media is a powerful social force in our society. In order to prepare, he consults a current news story and approaches it from the classical sociological perspectives (functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism). Recall these from Chapter 1.
Your assignment is to find a current story in the news and use your theories to approach it. Please link the story in your post. This can be from any major news outlet, NPR, Associated Press, CNN, Fox News, etc. What would each theory/perspective have to say about how the media in society is viewed or constructed in general as well as specifically applying to your news story? In your answer, define the theoretical perspective as well as show how that perspective would view any or all aspects of the media. Remember to ask yourself your question for each theory–then answer them. You learned your theories in Chapter 1. Please consult them as needed.

1)    Submit a 4-page (14 font and double space) review-reaction paper to Blowing the Trumpet. Our concern here is reading out-in-front of the 27 books of the New Testament, or in non-canonical keys, or in non-official ways as the beginning of the Jesus movement resides in this stream. Put another way, can we read in other ways? Can we deal with the raw or with expressions less redacted? Can we hear what others are saying? Identify the thesis of the book. What is the guiding principle of the book? What is your understanding, of what the book is about and what is your reaction of the work?

SEX & GENDER
Gender has been a topic of much controversy, contentment and social divide in our society, particularly in the last decade. A part of that discourse is the fact that, societies that uphold traditional gender roles and gender in general (which exists as a cultural universal) are more likely to experience patterns of gender stratification. This assignment will explore that notion, concentrating on (1) Gender Stratification in America or (2) Gender Stratification around the world, focusing on India. Select one of the following question options and respond to both parts of the question that you have selected.
Option # 1: Gender in the Workplace- The United States
Define gender stratification
Define the “The Gender Pay Gap” that exists in the United States and discuss the reasons why it exists (Site at least 3 specific reasons like the testosterone bonus- found in your text and in our class discussion notes for full credit).
Lastly, what is the relationship between the gender pay gap and gender stratification- how do they relate?
OR
Option# 2: Gender around the world –India’s “Sex-Selective Abortions”
Define gender stratification.
Explain the practice of sex-selection abortion and femicide.
Discuss how our understanding of gender and culture helps us to understand these phenomena occurring all around the world.
