Does its meaning change over time and/or across cultures? How? Explain how the socially constructed category you are treating impacts and shapes how people experience, behave in, and interpret reality.

Age Candee. “Age Divisions Are Socially Constructed.” From a Sociological Perspective.

Your first body paragraph should explain what types of scientific or historical underpinnings have been used to bolster your topic as “real” rather than socially constructed. This is also where you explain how you know this concept is a social construct (Does its meaning change over time and/or across cultures? How?) For race, these scientific and historical underpinnings are things like the idea that race is based on important genetic differences. It’s not, but the idea has been used to add credibility to making distinctions and categorizations (like slavery) based on race. We can also tell that race is a social construct because what people think about race has changed over time and is different from culture to culture. Very similar phenomenon have happened for ideas like “gender” and “nation.” This is where you talk about that. This is also where your extra source will come in handy. Your second body paragraph should explain some of the basic characteristics that make up your topic (for race, this would be things like skin color, nose shape, eye shape, hair color and texture, dialect, etc) and why these things are a result of social construction rather than the previously mentioned scientific or historical underpinnings. In this paragraph, you will basically offer a definition of your topic in terms of social construction. You will also explain who this social construct benefits and who it harms within its society (for race, the social construct tends to benefit White people and those with lighter skin tones. It tends to disadvantage everyone else) and why. You will explain how the socially constructed category you are treating impacts and shapes how people experience, behave in, and interpret reality.

Assignment: Data Collection forming hypotheses

What is data collection and how do students demonstrate this with fairy tales?

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.

After you have actively read the whole chapter of your choice including the introduction of the chapter from our TEXTBOOK and ALL tales within that chapter, you must decide on your variables of interest or VALUE. Show me your collection of this data.

1. You can submit graphs, Cornell notes, charts, spread sheets, column notes, etc., what ever format you wish, as long as it is generated on a computer and can be sent easily and opened by me easily.

Identify the Chapter number and title
Identify specific titles and authors’ names as well as page numbers of your data (minimum of 5 tales)
Track your data by noting variables/value (mark the text where you find evidence of this value whether its character description, behavior, dialogue or plot/conflict/action description and development)
Use direct quotations and citation end notes with page numbers like this (Gozenbach 148) (12-15 quotes is average)
Identify how the marked text reflects the VALUE(s) of your focus
Identify the lens(es) you have applied
Note constants and changes among all tales you’ve collected data from (5 minimum) to your valued area throughout 100 years of this trope
How, in what ways, has what you valued (data collected) survived (stayed the same) in this trope over 100 years?
How has what you valued in this trope changed over 100 years?
Why do you think this has changed in that way?
What in modern day do you see reflected, or what do you connect in modern times, presented from YOUR data? When you read your data, what does it make you think of that is relevant, important, interesting, or controversial today with our current knowledge? Align your quoted data (each quote) with HOW you see it as modern day connections. Try out various lenses here!

2. Suggest three possible arguments you make about this chapter based on the value(s), lenses, and evidence you have tracked.

This assignment has to be completed by reading chapter 4 “Hansel and Gretel” fro the book “THe Golden Age of Folk and Fairy Tales from the grimm brothers”
