Identities in our Social Sphere The first discussion is taken from the reading in Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 and asks you to think through the experiences of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality in society today and how intersections of these identities can create even greater issues for those who hold multiple identities that experience inequality and discrimination. In this discussion you should respond to the following prompts: Do you have a good friend who is of a different race to yourself? If so, how did you meet? With this friend, do you ever talk seriously about racial issues? Explain why or why not. Do you think you fully understand the impact of race on your friend(s)? Explain why or why not. If you do not have any friend(s) whom are of another race, why do you think that is? How can sociology be used to (a) recognize, (b) publicize, and (c) combat racial discrimination? Be specific for each and clearly explain your response. Explain what equal rights means to you. How much equality is there in US society between men and women? Why should men be interested in promoting equal rights and opportunities for women? What are some appropriate ways for men to help women gain greater social, political and economic power? Describe how women of color are doubly oppressed and lesbian women of color are triply oppressed in our society. Does your friendship circle include people of various genders and sexual orientations? Explain why or why not. Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.
