Option #1: Night to His Day Analysis
Consider Judith Lorber’sNight to His Day: The Social Construction of Gender, which was assigned reading for this module. Carefully address the following two questions:
- If you had to summarize in ordinary language the concept of “gender as structure,” what would you say? (How would you explain “gender as a social institution” to a relative or a friend?)
- How did Judith Lorber demonstrate the significant differences that gender categories have for the individual and for society? (Hint: It may help to recall Lorber’s discussions of “sameness” and “difference.”)
Your paper should be 2-3 pages long and formatted per CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Support your claims by citing at least 2-3 scholarly sources, which may include information from the readings in your module. The CSU-Global Library is also a good place to find these sources; utilize the resources found in the SOC101 Research Guide for assistance in your research.
