Q Introduction In this unit we have learned about social stratification within our society. As individuals we each have a unique location within these social structures that provides both privileges/opportunities and disadvantages/constraints. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on your own social location and describe your position within structural systems. Directions In a 2-3 page paper answer the following questions. • What is your social location? • How does your identity position you within systems of power, privilege, and marginalization in society? • How have social structures enabled and constrained your life and actions to this point? • Describe the intersection between your biography and history illustrating the ways in which sociological factors have shaped your life? I have provided an additional resource to help with this assignment called The Diversity WheelDownload The Diversity Wheel. This graphic will help you think through your various identities and begin to see how the social categories you belong to may provide advantage or disadvantage. The purpose of this paper is self-reflection paired with course concepts. The strongest papers will both effectively reflect on personal biography and apply sociological concepts presented in the readings and notes. Due Date Sunday 11:59 PM CT.
