Throughout the semester we have been exploring the socio-historical construction of marriage and family in class and in course readings. You are expected to take course ideas out of the classroom and utilize them to see the world more sociologically. In order to help with this process you are assigned to locate three examples of messages or statements (advertisements, slogans, media, etc.) about an aspect of family life outside of class and analyze them sociologically.
In your everyday life you enter in and out of literally thousands of varied social contexts. And in these contexts often you are being taught indirect lessons about the social world. These lessons may be visible to us and we willing absorb them, but other times they may be invisible and we unconsciously take them into us and make them part of our lives without directly acknowledging that we learned something.
This assignment requires you to explore varied social contexts in which you are directly or indirectly provided with lessons about family. Below you can find a list of “sites” for you to sociologically explore and analyze. From this list you should choose three, sociologically explore them, and then respond to the five analysis questions in a minimum of one page double spaced (12pt font) per example.
