Complete the Participant Observation checklist to assist you with organizing your research and to take notes during your observation. Then, using your observation notes, write a paper that has these elements:
• An introduction that explains the research conducted and the purpose of the paper
• Detailed descriptions of the two observed instances in which gender influenced the actions of people in the real world. Be sure to address these questions: Who? What? Where? When?
• An explanation that incorporates the structural-functional theory to explain how gender was at work to keep society orderly in the social setting that you chose.
• A summary that restates the main points of the paper and suggests one lesson learned from the observation that is applicable to your own life in a gendered world.
The paper should be between 4 and 5 pages, plus a title and reference page and include the Participant Observation Checklist as well. You should include in-text citations in APA format for at least one academic source in addition to the course text (below).
