SOC 122 Application Activity #1 Exploring Stratification in Our Lives (400-700 words) Due: Monday, May 1, 2023, 12:30 pm on Canvas Think of a specific time in your life when you actively noticed stratification based on social class. Inequality is embedded in our daily lives, but I want you to think of a specific event. For example: a specific conversation that you had that made an impression, or an event where there were certain social expectations based on class. It can be a memory from childhood or something you just did recently. 1. Start by telling me about the event. What made you think of it and why is it relevant for this assignment? 2. Then tell me about how the event brought social class to your attention. What were some of the social rules, expectations, or assumptions made based on class? Were there penalties for violating those rules/expectations? Rewards for conforming to them? Were other dimensions of stratification present (e.g., race, gender, sexuality)? If so, how did they intersect with class? 3. Next, reflect on how you participated in the event. Did you discuss class – or related dimensions of stratification – openly? Why or why not? 4. Finally, describe how you generally talk about or encounter class in your everyday life. Did the event you’ve discussed in this assignment change this in any way? Instructions Use parenthetical references (Turowetz, Lecture; or author, date: page(s)) to cite material from class and readings: e.g., (Turowetz, Lecture 04-12-2023), (Wright and Rogers 2015: 62). You should cite at least two concepts (in addition to the term “class” itself) from the readings or lecture materials. For further details, please see the ASA style guide accompanying the assignment on Canvas. Also, please include a References Cited page at the end of the assignment. Again, see the ASA style guide for guidelines. Assignments should be written 12-point font, double-spaced with 1” margins. The assignment should be 400-700 words (about 2-3 double-spaced pages). I would advise numbering your answers so that it is easy to identify which question you are addressing. If you choose to answer in essay format, please make sure it is clear which question you are answering. Finally, please include a cover sheet with your name and the course number. You do not need to include your perm number. The assignment is due on Canvas at the beginning of class on 5/1. You do not need to submit a hard copy of this assignment.

The information in this document is taken from the American Sociological Association Style Guide (4th ed., 2010). We highly encourage students who plan to major in sociology or pursue their masters degree in sociology to purchase the complete Style Guide, which features sections on editorial styles, mechanics of style, guidelines for organizing and presenting content, and more detailed information on referencing your scholarly sources. Information about the ASA Style Guide can be found at www.asanet.org/journals/guides.cfm. Plagiarism The ASA has a firm commitment to full and proper attribution and authorship credit, as set forth in the ASA Code of Ethics. (a) In publications, presentations, teaching practice, and service, sociologists explicitly identify credit, and reference the author when they take data or material verbatim from another person’s written work, whether it is published, unpublished, or electronically available. (b) In their publications, presentations, teaching, practice, and service, sociologists provide acknowledgment of and reference to the use of others’ work, even if the work is not quoted verbatim or paraphrased, and they do not present others’ work as their own whether it is published, unpublished, or electronically available. Text Citations Citations in the text include the last name of the author(s) and year of publication. Include page numbers when quoting directly from a work or referring to specific passages. Identify subsequent citations of the same source in the same way as the first. Examples follow: If the author’s name is in the text, follow it with the publication year in parentheses: …in another study by Duncan (1959). If the author’s name is not in the text, enclose the last name and publication year in parentheses: …whenever it occurred (Gouldner 1963). Pagination follows the year of publication after a colon, with no space between the colon and the page number: …Kuhn (1970:71). Note: This is the preferred ASA style. Older forms of text citations are not acceptable: (Kuhn 1970, p. 71). Give both last names for joint authors: … (Martin and Bailey 1988). If a work has three authors, cite all three last names in the first citation in the text; thereafter, use et al. in the citation. If a work has more than three authors, use et al. in the first citation and in all subsequent citations. First citation for a work with three authors: …had been lost (Carr, Smith, and Jones 1962). Later: …(Carr et al. 1962) If a work cited was reprinted from a version published earlier, list the earliest publication date in brackets, followed by the publication date of the recent version used. …Veblen ([1899] 1979) stated that… Separate a series of references with semicolons. List the series in alphabetical or date order, but be consistent throughout the manuscript. … (Green 1995; Mundi 1987; Smith and Wallop 1989). Reference Lists A reference list follows the text and footnotes in a separate section headed References. All references cited in the text must be listed in the reference section, and vice versa. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that publication information for each entry is complete and correct. ◆ References should be double-spaced. ◆ List all references in alphabetical order by first author’s last name ◆ Include first names and surnames for all authors. Use first-name initials only if an author used initials in the original publication. In these cases, add a space between the initials, as in R. B. Brown and M. L. B. Smith. (See additional guidelines in the full text of the American Sociological Association Style Guide.) Books Author1 (last name inverted), Author2 (including full surname, last name is not inverted), and Author3. Year of publication. Name of Publication (italicized).

Exploring Stratification in Our Lives
Question 1
One specific event that rings in my mind is a conversation I had with one of my
coursemates in college. We were conversing about our summer plans, and he said that he was
going on a cruise with his family. This made me think of the differences in our social class
backgrounds and how they impacted our summer plans. Reflecting on this conversation, I
realized how social class can shape our experiences and opportunities in life (Pramling, Wagner
& Eriksen 2020). In addition, it enabled me to gain more knowledge on how privilege and
access to resources dictate a critical duty in developing an individual's worldview and
perspective on living.
Question 2
The conversation ...
