Initial Post Instructions

The lesson and textbook readings for this week emphasize that race, ethnicity, and gender are all social constructs.

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: Can you describe a time when you felt that your race, ethnicity, and/or gender was giving you an advantage? Can you describe a time when you felt that your race, ethnicity, and/or gender was a disadvantage to you?

Option 2: Explore how a person’s or family’s ethnic or gender identity can change over time. Interview a parent or grandparent about some of their family traditions that may no longer be part of the family practice, or that has evolved. Why might it have been stopped or changed?

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least one peer. If possible, respond to one peer who chose an option different than the one you chose. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification. Make sure that you add additional information and not repeat the same information already posted on the discussion board as you further the dialogue.
