Develop a 4-5 page analysis of your experience with gender socialization. In doing so, analyze how gender is created by society, specifically looking at children’s toys and/or clothing.
Question Description
Deliverable
Write an essay in which you complete all of the following:
PART 1
Examine the toys and clothing you had as a child.
Describe the clothing and toys from your childhood and identify which were gender-specific.
PART 2
Examine your experience with gender socialization.
Describe the message your toys and clothing sent you about gender.
Analyze how gender-specific messages that arise from childhood clothing and toys reflect larger societal
expectations.
Reflect on the impact these messages had on you. Describe how you feel about your experience with gender
socialization.
PART 3
Analyze and then include outside sources.
Your analysis should also include information from two additional outside resources regarding gender
socialization—one from a popular source and one from a scholarly source. A critical component of this
assessment involves evaluating these outside resources.
Summarize your outside articles (one scholarly and one popular) and explain how they helped you better
understand your experience with gender socialization.
Explain the validity (quality) of each source and how helpful each was. What conclusions can you draw about
the difference in these types of sources (popular versus scholarly)?
