Locate an advertisement that depicts an image of women, girls, men and/or boys in a respectful and/or empowered manner that deviates from the traditional gender norm.
Post the URL so that others can view it.
 
Referring directly to our readings for the week,
Describe how the advertisement you chose “rewrites the rules.”
Is intersectionality represented in your chosen advertisement? Please explain.
Use Judith Butler’s theories to explain why the creator of the ad may have made the choices we see here in terms of the way the characters “do gender.”
What impact might this advertisement have on real-life opportunities and possibilities offered men and women in their personal and professional lives?

How the categories of “youth” and “childhood” vary over time and across cultures.

Consider how the categories of “youth” and “childhood” vary over time and across cultures. To do this, you will answer a series of questions regarding photos you select of the “jobs” of young people in three different contexts: (1) 19th and early 20th-century America; (2) Present day America; and (3) Present Day India, Nigeria, or Brazil (select one).
In present day United States culture, childhood is a nurturing time of carefree exploration and personal development, where a child’s main job is to go to school. However, this was not always the way we understood youth and childhood in the U.S., and it is not how it is understood across all countries. In fact, the concept of childhood is linked closely to social class identities. In other words, in societies (or families) that have more socioeconomic resources, childhood is a time period set aside for parental nurturing, carefree exploration, and personal development. On the other hand, in contexts of severe economic hardships, childhood is a luxury that many families cannot afford. Instead, children enter the labor force at a much younger age as a necessity of family survival (Barone 2015).
Explore the ways that the social identity of “youth” and the category of “childhood” vary across the three social contexts mentioned above by incorporating photos of the expected jobs of young people in each context. Using your selected photos and assigned readings (e.g., course text, resources provided below, supplemental materials provided by your instructor, and two additional scholarly sources), create a 12-slide PowerPoint presentation (including one title slide and one references slide in APA style).
Your PowerPoint presentation should include two main parts:
Seven of your slides must contain photos with brief descriptions. Be sure to include a minimum of three photos for each of the three social contexts (you can include multiple photos per slide). You must obtain photos from public Internet searches and properly cite each photo.
In your description of each photo, be sure to:
Describe how the photo helps you understand the expectations and value of “youth” and “childhood” in that society. In other words, what clues does the photo give you to determine how the identity of youth is constructed in that society?
In the remaining three slides, address the following questions:
Explain how the identity of “youth” and the time period of “childhood” is socially constructed and how it varies over time and across countries.
Explain how social class impacts the social construction of “youth” and “childhood.”
Discuss how comparing the different photos across your three social contexts help you understand the ways in which these categories are socially constructed.

Race and ethnic relation

For various reasons, anytime the issue of race and ethnic relation comes up, some students are quick to shutdown the discussion by saying “Oh, but that is in the past.” Maybe so, but not in a sociology course. Just the same, in this assignment you are to look at the present–our immediate history making in say the last 20 years for your topic.
Identify a social condition of a named social group in the Race and Ethnic Structure in the U.S.
Explain why the social condition should be elevated to the status of a Social Problem. (See chapter 1 to refresh your memory)
Drawing on at least 2 empirical supporting evidence of the sources of the human condition, explain why the social condition should be elevated the status of a Social Problem.
Propose a policy solution to address the social problem, and how it would benefit the society.
