Problem
I. i. How do gender roles vary across the globe?
ii. In the U.S., what are some ways that agents of socialization (family, peers, schools, media) sometimes instill gender roles in children? (If applicable, you are welcome to use examples from personal experience for part b).
iii. From your own perspective, what do you see as advantages and/or disadvantages with how gender is constructed in U.S. culture?
II. What are the three main factors that account for this earning difference between men and women?
III. In what ways do we see violence against women and violence against men?
IV. Read the passage on "intersection theory" and then conduct the following:
Describe an example of how being in two (or more) overlapping categories at the same time is associated with increased odds of a disadvantaged outcome in the U.S. (For example, the chapter mentions that Hispanic women tend to have the largest wage gap. The two overlapping categories in this example are being both a woman and Hispanic).
i. Provide at least one scholarly article or scientific source to support your example.
ii. You are welcome to use overlapping categories of gender, race, social class, religion, sexual orientation, and age.
iii. In what ways does your example connect to the concept of intersection theory?
