Integrative Essay Questions

Hey Stephanie and Julie,

I know you both missed the last class, so I wanted to give you the questions that Eby and GP said to keep in mind when we are working on our integrative essays.

1) What is the purpose of gender?

2) What is the relationship between privilege and vivid gender categories? [I may have copied this one down wrong...]

3) How do you social class, cultural/ethnic background and geographic region shape your beliefs about gender?

4) In what ways do you perform gender? How does your performance of gender shift depending on your social situation? To what extent is it learned/genetic?

5) How do media and mass communication shape your ideas about gender roles?

6) Try the ad-analysis plot. [Another one I'm not sure of... I guess this means to analyze an ad for different gender potrayals?]

7) Apply the questions to music videos--what did you discover?

I'm doing this during a class break so I'll probably post more in a little bit. Look forward to hearing from you guys. :]
