Note all
essays require research, at least 3 sources, and two visuals.
Choose one of the
below for Paper 2.
#8.
Write an essay explain how damaging it is for a man not to fit the social
stereotype for what is expected of a male in terms of appearance and behavior
(ex. A man who is not interested in playing and/or watching sports). Use
sources to support your idea. (cause and effect)
#10. How
are the differences between men’s and women’s communication strategies related
to social or biological norms. What values of the society do these differing
approaches reveal? Research the communication strategies of men and women and
write an essay explaining the differences. (comparison)
#11.
Statistically, men tend to hold more positions of power and wealth than women
do. Many women feel that simply being born male automatically confers status
and power, or at the very least, makes life easier. This cultural assumption,
however, may apply to only a very small segment of the male population. Write
an essay discussing the effects of this stereotype on men. (comparison)
#12.
Write an essay explaining what it means to be male in today’s society. Consider
how men factor into current social, intellectual, political, economic, and
religious arenas. Consider the opportunities that are available – or not
available-to men. (definition)
#13.
What does it mean to be a wife in another culture? Choose at least two other
cultures and research those societies’ expectations of a wife. Try to find
cultures that show significant differences. Remember that interviews might be a
useful source of information-even email interview with wives in other cultures.
Using your research, write an essay offering a comparative definition of a
wife. Assume that your audience is American. Be certain to document your
sources, including any interviews or email conversations. (definition)
Read “State of Our Unions,” p. 368 in my book, and
update the essay with current trends and statistics. (comparison)
Respond to any of the essays in Chapter 8 (Gender in
my book). You may agree or disagree with the author based on your evidence from
research. (persuasion)
