SOC 101-WEEK 2 MINI ASSIGNMENT Name _______________________________ Fill out the two tables and answer the last question. Submit to the Week 2 Mini Assignment drop box for 40 points. After reading Harro’s “The Cycle of Socialization”, make a list of your social group identities with relation to the following categories (this will only be read by me, but if you don’t want to answer a category that is fine, but answer at least 5 categories) and add whether this identity is thought of as an agent or target (see Harro, p. 17): SOCIAL IDENTITYMY MEMBERSHIPSTATUS (AGENT OR TARGET)RaceGenderClassAgeSexual OrientationReligionAbility/Disability Next, think about your social identities and write down at least one example of what you learned about being that identity on a personal level from your family or role models in your life (see examples in Harro, p. 17) and also what you learned from institutional or cultural sources (school, church, work, media, etc., see examples p. 18).

What are the enforcements in place that maintain these types of messages? What “rewards” or privileges are given to maintain the status quo and consequently, what “punishments” are given to those who go against these types of messages? (Think about the video clip, “A Girl Like Me”; about 150 words here)
