Identity

Write down one other identity, besides gender, that is central to your self-image. The identity (“who I am”) is important to how you see yourself or how others perceive you.

Think about the ideas behind intersectionality, then ask yourself:

How do your other identities complicate your gender performance? In other words, how does being an Asian/Black/Hispanic woman, a disabled man, a female athlete, a lesbian woman, a Christian woman, etc., shape the way in which you perform masculinity or femininity in your life?

[Hint: In your textbook, Wade and Ferrerr discuss the “gentle black man” strategy –whistling classic music while walking down the street at night–that black men often rely on in order to resist the cultural stereotype about black men.]

For the two articles we read this week(link below)–“Can agentic black women get ahead” and “Intersecting the academic gender gap,” do any of the findings resonate with your experience? Deviates? How so?

Based on what you learned in these resources, determine how an IC could work effectively with the residents who were displaced when Cabrini Green was demolished. How can you apply the foundations of the social work profession at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels to work with diverse clients to problem solve this issue?

Examine Interdisciplinary Collaborations in Micro, Mezzo, & Macro-Practice with a Diverse Population

This week, you learned about how social workers work in IC with housing disadvantaged populations, and read in detail about Cabrini Green. Review these resources again carefully and conduct external research on Cabrini Green and other projects in large urban areas.

Based on what you learned in these resources, determine how an IC could work effectively with the residents who were displaced when Cabrini Green was demolished. For example, members of this population discussed the problems with available, affordable replacement housing for more than 14,000 families. How can you apply the foundations of the social work profession at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels to work with diverse clients to problem solve this issue?

First, write a 2 to 3-page summary of the history and background of the problems at Cabrini Green. Then, create a chart, similar to the one below, where you explain the components of an IC for each of the social work issues to address this problem (lack of housing for displaced residents).

Example Chart:

  • Problem: Lack of affordable, adequate housing for former residents of Cabrini Green
  • Disciplines/ Professions
  • Involved Problem Solving Strategy
  • Micro level
  • Mezzo Level
  • Macro Level

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.

Social class

Have you ever considered which social class you belong to? In an ideal world, which social class would you like to belong to? Have you ever wanted to move up the social ladder? Social classes are groups of people who share certain aspects of their lives. These often include wealth, resources, occupations, and income. As we move from social groups to social classes, you will consider the role social classes play in a practical society versus an ideal one. Throughout this essay consider the function of social classes and how they apply within an ideal society.

You are going to expand your ideas for an ideal society to include social classes. Your paper will cover three sections: key components, theory, and the people.
Project Sections (Be sure to address the following questions in each section.)

Key Components:

What is social stratification?
What is social mobility?
Are there social classes? How are these categorized? How are they defined?
How are stratification systems maintained in this society?
What are the two ways in which poverty is defined?

Theory:

How do Wright’s model of social class and Gilbert and Kahl’s model of social class fit within this ideal society?
Does the society require different social classes? Why or why not?

People:

Are people able to advance their social class within this society?
How can people advance their social class within this society?
Do prejudice and discrimination fit within this society?
How can people from one social class connect with people in a different social class?
How do people within a minority relate with others?
How does poverty play a role in society?
Does poverty impact behaviors and interactions of those within the community?

Impacts of globalization on individuals and their communities

While the world seems like a very large, diverse place, it’s actually quite small. What occurs in one community can impact other communities. Throughout this discussion, you will consider globalization and the impacts of globalization on individuals and their communities. For example, advancements within technology, incorporation of communication, and access to media all occur globally, but have consequences locally. Have you stopped to consider how these aspects alter societies?

Use the following template to craft a professional LinkedIn profile for the Unit 4 assignment. Leave the headings in bold, and remove the information below in parentheses when you add your own information.

Headline: Write an informative profile headline.

(Your headline is a short, memorable professional slogan. For example, “Honors student seeking marketing position.” Check out the profiles of students and recent alumni you admire for ideas in PG Career Network.)

Photo: Pick an appropriate photo.
(LinkedIn isn’t Facebook. Insert a high-quality photo [your profile will be 7x more likely to be viewed] of you alone, professionally dressed. No party shots, cartoon avatars, or puppy pics!)

Education: Show off your education.
(Include all your schools, major(s) and minor, courses, and study abroad or summer programs. Don’t be shy — LinkedIn is an appropriate place to show off your GPA, test scores, and honors or awards.)

Summary: Develop a professional summary.
(Your summary statement is like the first few paragraphs of your best-written cover letter — concise and confident about your qualifications and goals. Include relevant work and extracurriculars.)

Skills and expertise: Fill “Skills & Expertise” with keywords.
(This section is the place to include 3-5 keywords and phrases that recruiters search for [i.e. Successful multitasker, Fluent in English, Russian, Spanish, and French]. Find relevant ones in job listings that appeal to you and profiles of people who have the kinds of roles you want.)

Connectedness: Show your connectedness with groups.
(Groups you join appear at the bottom of your profile. Joining some shows that you want to engage in professional communities and learn the lingo. Start with your university and industry groups.
For this assignment, list 3-5 professional groups you would like to include in your profile. Here is a good resource (https://jobstars.com/professional-associations-organizations/) that lists many professional organizations by industry.)

Examples of work: Share your abilities.
(First, write a paragraph discussing your work abilities. This will be a one paragraph professional summary detailing your work experience. This will include a summary detailing your work experience, volunteer experience, awards, recognitions, projects completed, and professional interests.

Second, you will include two actual examples of your writing, design work, or other accomplishments on your profile, where you can insert rich media or documents. What better way to sell your skills than to show employers exactly what you can produce?
This can be projects completed, designs created, work recognition and awards, and even work from your previous classes such as papers, presentations, videos, etc. There should be no links or embedded attachments. The information should be copied and pasted directly into this document, or you can take a screenshot and insert the image.)

Introduce a specific example or excerpt from your source article regarding your popular culture object that you will analyze using one of your selected concepts/ theories/ key terms from the text. State the specific theory/concept/key term from the assigned text chapter to date that you are using to analyze the example/excerpt of your source article regarding your popular culture object.

Instructions & Required Template for Blog Analyses

 Analyses prepare students to understand how, why, and in what ways popular culture is a critically important area of sociological study. Students will do so through their critical examination of the role of popular culture in American society.

Analyses require students to produce a full and in-depth evaluation and analysis of a selected popular culture object (I.E.: song, podcast, album, TV show, episode, series, movie, sports, games, fashion, etc.) using an additional source article (several sources are recommended in the syllabus) and the course textbook. Students will do this by following this required step-by-step template.

NOTE: Analyses must include all (5) five paragraphs and follow this template and formatting requirements (also in Canvas). Analyses must be in essay format and contain proper grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and clarity (NO rough drafts).

The tone of the Analysis should be professional, but entertaining. Students should write their Analyses for a diverse audience who may not be familiar with their selected cultural object, its genre, or the theories/ concepts / key terms from the text.

Students will accomplish this by A: defining all theories/ concepts/ key terms in their own words and B: explaining their source article examples/ excerpts in their own words.

NOTE: NO DIRECT QUOTES FROM THE TEXT OR YOUR SOURCE ARTICLE ARE ALLOWED IN YOUR ANALYSES OR PEER REVIEWS.

NOTE: Do NOT submit your Analysis until you have completed the final step of incorporating ALL Formatting Requirements. You will do this using the Analyses Formatting Requirements document (in the corresponding Module in Canvas).
