How do you perform your gender on a daily basis? What signs and indicators do you use to project your gender identity to the world?

/in /by

Respond to the following prompt in an essay, using a minimum of three assigned readings from Modules 1-3 to support your argument 

How do you perform your gender on a daily basis? What signs and indicators do you use to project your gender identity to the world?

In what ways do you feel your (gendered) body “fits” or does not “fit” into the (public) world around you?

Do you feel comfortable in the gendered activities assigned to you by your society and culture, or do you feel constrained by them ( – or something in between, perhaps)?

In addressing the prompt, make sure you make it clear that you understand the differences between sex and gender (and that both of these terms are separate from sexuality) and that you make use of the concepts of gender identity, gender performance, gendered socialization (socialization by assigned gender), and gender expectations (from society.)

How Much Should We Do for Our Fellow Man?
We are ruminating over, at least, three topics here:
1) How much does personal developmental history effect moral behavior?;
2) How much should we do for our fellow man ?

3) When we support weakness and the unfortunate, do we then make people weak
(Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for life.)?

First, read attached “Shame”, by Dick Gregory.
Then, write a researched-supported paper  (at least two sources), MLA-styled,  1,000-2,500 word essay, using at least two quotes from sources for support on the one of these inquiries (beware reliance on personal anecdotes) —
INQUIRY: WRITE ON ONE OF THESE TOPICS, being clear on which you are doing in your abstract:

1) How much does personal developmental history effect one’s moral behavior, and can individuals overcome bad upbringing?

2) How much should we do for our fellow man? Consider local charity and government welfare.

3) When we support weakness and the unfortunate, do we then make people weak? How do people become strong and resilient?

Describe what each project success measure (from the textbook Exhibit 10.1) looks like on your example project.

Identify at least three risks to each success measure, determine which are major risks, and for each major risk develop one or more contingency plan.

Identify whether the contingency plan is an avoidance plan (reducing the probability of the risk event), a mitigation plan (reducing the impact of the event), or both.

Facilitate a discussion with the sponsor and other key stakeholders of your project. Have them determine the relative importance of their priorities and document them as in the textbook Exhibit

1) Briefly introduce and state your research question and discuss why you have chosen to write on this topic. (This section can be from a couple of sentences to a paragraph or so).

2) Give correct and complete reference of literature or web reference that you are reviewing and briefly introduce, discuss or analyze how this source is useful to your work.

Anne Westhues and Brian Wharf, (2012). Canadian social policy: issues and perspectives. (5th edition) Waterloo, Ontario : Wilfrid Laurier University Press.

According to Westhues and Wharf the low-income measure (LIM), the “highest incidence of poverty…was among people in female lone-parent families with no earner” (Westhues, 176).

The poverty rate among this group is 86.5%. Furthermore, female lone-parent families with one earner had a poverty level of 38.7% in 1989 and 30.6% in 2009. Accordingly, these figures indicate

1) The inadequacy of social income programs for the poor in bringing female lone-parent families with no earner anywhere near the internationally used poverty line; and

2) the persistence of poverty among the vulnerable children in Canada” (Westhues, 179).

This source is useful to my research question as it allows a comparison of Canadian child poverty rates of female lone-parent to those in other countries. Also, this source suggests that poverty, therefore, is irrefutably intersected with gender and race.

3) Conclude the annotated bibliography with a discussion of possible outcomes, expectations of what this essay may reveal to our understanding and possible significance for further research within the academic community
