Unit 8 Learning Journal Sociology 288

For this weeks journal entry, consider your gender. Consider your childhood. Was binary gender emphasized in your experience, or was wider latitude offered? Did you fit into the categories offered, or did your expression vary in some fashion? If so, in what ways did you not fit? Did parents, relatives, or other agents of socialization use emotional, psychological, or physical force to shape your thinking and behaviour? Did/do you experience stereotype threat at home, at school, at work? Did this threat cause you to modify your behaviours? What about your occupational choices or the work you do in the home? Are these gender typed? Are there intersectional elements to your experience? If so, what are they? Finally, list some of the social, psychological, emotional, and economic consequences of your gender socialization.
