Assignment 3 Instructions for Powerpoint Assignment (20 pts)

You have two options. Please pick only one below:

Option 1: Powerpoint on Important Childhood memories:

I will be asking you to produce a powerpoint with pictures explaining which specific agents of socialization (family, mass media, music, peers, religion, school etc) shaped your identity and self the most while you were growing up. You could start your presentation by talking about the type of resources you had in your household while you were growing up. Another option is to recall a specific social experience that had an enormous impact on your identity formation (this might be positive or negative).If you recall, in my powerpoint I chewed on my school experience and taste of music which likely shaped my own view of society in the future. You do not necessarily have to share a picture for this but consider including it in your powerpoint. Finally, you must also utilize and define one of the culture/socialization concepts in your essay (socialization, self*, looking-glass-self, significant others, generalized others, cultural capital, resocialization, reference groups, symbolic interactionism etc) If you do not produce a powerpoint, I will ask you to do a 3 pages/single-spaced write-up instead. I WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT MY DEMO POWERPOINT SLIDE IF YOU NEED SOME GUIDE!

Option 2: My Racial/Ethnic identity

Although there is no real biological basis to race, it is still a socially relevant and powerful concept to most people in the United States. Hence, for this presentation/essay, I would like you to discuss your own racial/ethnic identity. As much as possible, I would like you to also utilize sociology concepts and terms from the chapter on Race and Ethnicity, or even bring in the audio podcast on complex identities. Link: https://kpfa.org/episode/against-the-grain-march-20-2018/ You are also encouraged to bring in issues related to overt/covert discrimination, hidden bias, white privilege, color blindess, witnessed social distance between other racial/ethnic groups, first time you experienced racism or racist migroaggressions, knew a victim or family member who was a victim of hate crime, witnessed forms of online racism/discrimination related to race/ethnicity, witnessed use of negative stereotypes or racist jokes etc. that you think pertain to your own race and ethnicity or another race or ethnicity.

Please attempt to answer the questions as best as you can in your essay.
