What are the issues raised in these clips? Do you agree the concerns are important? Why or why not? Do you think people are affected by the lyrics and messages, or is it just entertainment? Be sure to integrate some information from the clips in your discussion for full credit.
Paper Problem
Answer the following questions.
I. Why is it so important for some people to know the sex of a baby? For some people, why is it such an embarrassing error to mistake the sex of a new baby? (You can write mostly from a reflective perspective here, without needing to integrate textbook material.)
II. Explain the factors that determine the gender division of labor in different types of societies.
III. Discuss the process of gender socialization, including the role of parents, peers, schools, and the media; also discuss adult gender socialization.
IV. How can men be victims of gender discrimination? Use information from the text and/or your own ideas/experiences in your answer (one hint is to consider work and overall institutionalized gender discrimination.)
V. Discuss and compare the functional, conflict, and feminist perspectives on gender stratification.
VI. Watch the video clip on the documentary on hip hop and rap music.
