Sociocultural Project Description: You will be finding and describing sociocultural influences or social constructs and the expectations they create on the concepts of: sexuality, sexual orientation, gender, race, and ethnicity and how we should behave or look b/c of our gender (masculine/feminine), sexuality, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity.
Sociocultural Project, Part A
Assignment Description
40 points of final grade (see Rubric for breakdown of points)

The definition of sexuality (i.e., sexual orientation, gender, behavior), race, and ethnicity are social constructs and not inherently who or what a person is. That is, these concepts are socio-culturally defined and determined. (Hence, “socio-cultural project”!)
Think “outside the box”, be creative, be unconventional.
This is not a traditional research/term paper where you review and report literature on the subject. This is your own “original” work – your observations, interpretations, applications, etc.
Description:
A Powerpoint presentation addressing social constructs of:
sexuality – sexual orientation
gender – masculine/feminine
ethnicity –
race
behavior – expectations based on race, gender, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation
and the images used in mass media and advertising.
You are going to:
Show your personal observations and analysis of social phenomena, societal expectations, pop cultural expectations, behavior, symbols, messages, etc.
Identify and describe sociocultural images and messages that reflect and/or reinforce these social constructs.
Show/demonstrate/describe how these images/messages/social constructs affect people’s self-image, identity, and sexuality.
Requirements:
Minimum of 8 powerpoint slides with examples coming from of:
media advertisements
print media (magazines, newspapers, etc)
broadcast media (preferably television/Youtube)
pictures of Ads
links to music videos etc are welcome
For each of the 8 powerpoint slides you will need to follow it with a slide explaining the example of the concept you chose.
In detail explain:
the concept you chose
how the image shows or depicts the concept – describe the image and how it sends the message about the concept
if the image is explicit/directly expressed, overt, suggestive, implied, subtle
It is not sufficient to say there are sexual/gender/ethnic messages or themes present; you must describe what they are.
You must use at least FOUR course concepts.
You can use one concept to explain two images.
Use one slide for the picture and one slide for the explanation (16 slides total)
Concepts – gender, sexuality, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, gender role, gender expectation, etc
Expressions
Explicit/directly expressed – stated clearly and in detail, no room for confusion or doubt
Overt – done or shown openly, plainly, readily apparent, obvious
Suggestive – makes someone think of an idea or something (sex), indecent, dirty, vulgar, prurient
Implied – suggested but not directly expressed
Subtle – delicately described, understated, muted, subdued
