For this assignment, you are to write a 3-4 page (double-spaced) paper with margins no more than one inch and font no larger than 12 point.  No cover page is necessary.   Examine the comments section of digital newspapers, The Daily Mail, tiktok comments, You Tube comments, twitter comments, Facebook comments, Reddit, or something similar.  1) The first part of your paper should be an introduction to the topic or issue that you will be discussing. Here is where you’ll describe where you gathered your data, from which online sources, and over how long a time period. Decide on your research question.  Many researchers start with nothing specific in mind (inductive reasoning) or with a very specific idea in mind (deductive reasoning).  You could think about looking for signs of racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia,  or prejudicial attitudes about heavy people or disabled people, for example.   Basically, you’re going to look for patterns.  You should pick a certain kind of story or blog to examine and then read through the comments of that story as well as other similar stories.  Is there a pattern?  Does it matter the source of the story (Fox News vs. MSNBC)?  Past researchers have looked for certain themes (i.e., research questions):  what kind of personal information do people share on twitter? what are the reasons people are bullied? do most commenters have a negative view about being overweight?   2) The main portions or the body of the paper should focus on explaining all your findings.  You’ll also then discuss your analysis based on these findings.   Once you’ve decided on your topic you’re going to examine the language of the commenters. Here is an example: Findings: Researcher Joyce reads the Daily Mail (online gossip paper) every day for a week.  She reads every story that relates to Meghan Markle and then examines the “most popular” comments in each story.  She finds that 2/3rds of the comments posted each day on each story included racist terms or derogatory comments about Meghan Markle.  The finding is that most people who comment on the Daily Mail stories have prejudicial thoughts about Ms. Markle. Here are some samples of how to organize your findings and your analysis:   Findings: Were comments negative or positive? Was there a pattern of topics most commented upon?  Giving percentages or counting is expected.  Was there underlying racism/sexism/ageism? Analysis: What messages are being sent about the writers of the posts? What general conclusions can you make based on your data? What might the comments made say about our culture or society?   3) The last part of your paper should be the conclusion. This is the time to wrap up your ideas and concluding thoughts.  How might the patterns you discovered impact people reading them on a societal level?  (For example, if there are a lot of body positive comments on a tic tok video. might that show that young people are very open to differing body types?)  Go back and read your paper and make sure any point you might have brought up has been resolved, discussed and dealt with in a clear manner.

In this discussion you will have a choice in how you want to use your sociological imagination. You will either reflect on your own experiences with sex/gender, and apply at least three related sociological terms, concepts, and/or theories to your examples and post them to our discussion…or you will analyze your own social locations, specifically your racial-ethnic identity and culture and use three sociological terms, concepts, and/or theories as it relates to your experiences. This is a formative assignment leading up to the exam and final application paper about your life. Instructions Prompt 1: Gender Please fill out this Sex/Gender worksheet Actions .  You can write your answers according to how you grew up or generalizations in society (past or present).   Discuss your answers (do not just fill out the worksheet) in the context of gender socialization, societal norms, social forces, social change—using your sociological imaginations/perspective. Please share your responses to the worksheet questions in your post, as well as your discussion. Were you socialized according to gender? Who or what influenced you to act/behave in these ways? Can you recall a specific moment when you learned about your gender (gender moments). Use terms, concepts, and social theories (from the lecture and text) in your explanations and application of your personal experiences and reflection on the exercise. At least three terms, concepts, and/or theories should be underlined/bold in your write-up (e.g.  gender pay gap, discrimination, glass ceiling, etc.). Prompt 2: Prejudice and Discrimination Please review the lecture and text on the topic of “Race and Ethnicity in the United States.” State what group you identify with and why? After viewing this module’s short video (Dr. Noble) on Algorithmic Bias  (Links to an external site.) , you are going to conduct your own search (read the Wikipedia description to better understand how algorithms impact your results). Type in the racial-ethnic group you identify with in the search bar. What are the top two hits that came up? Discuss prejudice, discrimination, and racial/ethnic stereotypes and labels as they relate to the group you identify with. Was this represented in your quick internet search (#2)?  Do you have any firsthand experience with prejudice and/or discrimination?  What are your ideas to alleviate prejudice and/or discrimination?   At least three terms, concepts, and/or theories should be underlined/bold in your write-up (i.e. model minority, white privilege, individual/ institutional discrimination, etc.). As you read and respond to students this week (to either prompt), think about the different ways you all have been gender socialized or have experienced life based on racial-ethnic backgrounds so you can better understand other perspectives on this topic. Be sure to read the material in the module before you begin.
