Assignment 3: Perception of Gender

Gender, as a term and a social concept, has taken many different
forms and meanings over time. Your personal experience and expression
of gender may be reflective of your generation and the sociopolitical
landscape during the influential development stages of your life.

This assignment will allow you to expand your knowledge
base and support your acquisition of various expressions and experiences
related to gender.

Select a person from a different generation than yourself.
Schedule a thirty-minute interview with that person.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online
library resources, and the Internet, research the evolution of the concept
of gender over generations. Select at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed
resources for use in this assignment.

During the interview, ask the following questions:

• What does the term gender mean to you? How does it differ
  from sex?
• How has gender played a part in the understanding of your role and
  responsibilities at home and at work?
• How was gender conceived of when you were a teenager and what differences
  do you see in today’s youth regarding gender roles?
• How was gender discussed in your household when growing up? If you
  have children, how have you communicated gender to them?
• In your estimation, what has been the greatest accomplishment for
  your gender in achieving equality or equal footing regarding career
  and family advancement?

During your interview, be aware that the person’s
responses could be reactions to the advancements of the opposite gender
and the impact he or she experienced. An example would be men’s
experiences of child rearing as more mothers enter and excel in corporate
environments.

Complete the following:

• Analyze the person’s ability to communicate about gender issues
  and the role gender has played in his or her life as a member of society.
• Compare and contrast the person’s views on gender with those
  of your generation. Explain the reasons for the differences.
• Integrate the interview responses throughout your narrative as necessary
  by summarizing them and utilizing quotes.

In your analysis, be sure to integrate ideas and concepts
from your independent research as well as the module readings with your
findings from the interview.

Write a 3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards
to the formatting of your paper and the citation of sources. Remember
to include a cover page and reference page in APA format. Use the following
file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if
your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.
