Essay about sociology: Who are you? For your 8th and final essay, you must answer the following question: Who are you?This question is not meant to trick you, and it most certainly is not meant to be a joke. In class on Friday, March 8th, I discussed a number of strategies you can use to answer this question. You can choose to follow one of the strategies I recommended, or you can develop your own strategy for answering this question. It’s up to you. As you draft your response, please demonstrate that you have learned a thing or two by taking this sociology course. That is important. (My information: I am an international college student in California, and I come from china. I am a 20-year-old girl. Other things you can imagine based on my information.) Thanks! Class Note
How to think intersectionally
1. Start with our unique circumstances
2. Consider our group membership
3. Ask, “How do our group memberships translate into forms of advantage and disadvantage that are experienced in
daily life?
4. Ask,” How is this all constituted by macro-level social institutions (political economy, law, educational system, etc.
etc.)”
Video clip from Shapiro’s speech
• Shapiro says that intersectionality is identity politics, plain and simple
For him, Intersectionality makes you less of an individual person
For him, Intersectionality is an impediment to having meaningful discourse and restricts free speech
For him, the ideology of Intersectionality makes people rush toward victimhood
.
Shapiro claims that intersectionality is identity politics, but neither Intersectionality nor identity politics are new
ideas
• Shapiro is right that Intersectionality focuses on the social sources of our identity; but he is wrong that it makes us
less of an individual
Is Intersectionality really an impediment to free speech?
Does Intersectionality create a culture of victimhood, as Shapiro suggests?
Things professor agrees
“a healthy nation requires an emotionally vigorous population who is ready to engage in debate at all times.”
Our identities are not neutral!
Our identities shape our life experiences, lifestyles, and life chances
For your 8th and final essay, you must answer the following question: Who are you?
Who are you?
1) Start with your unique circumstances and consider your group memberships;
2) Go back to the 9-item identity inventory we took in class and elaborate those answers;
3) Use the intersectionality wheel diagram I have shown in class to guide your response;
4) Think along classical sociological lines of race-class-gender and how those things make you who you are
