For Reflective Project #3, you may choose one of the following three options. Please ensure that your paper is around 3 pages, double-spaced, with a heading (your name, course info, etc.) and a creative title. Remember that you must utilize ideas and concepts from the textbook, class lectures and discussions to illustrate your point, so the prompt that you choose to write about must reference any of those corresponding chapters, lectures, discussions, and/or activities. Lastly, factors such as spelling, punctuation, and grammar certainly count towards your reflection paper grade, so be sure to edit your paper beforehand. Below are the three prompts that you may choose (one) to write about:1) Sexual Orientation: Outline both the Kinsey model of sexual orientation (Figure 2.3 in Chapter 12) and the Klein model of sexual orientation (class mini-lecture). What is similar? What is different? If you've reviewed these two models to see where you may lie, discuss your results if you are willing. Were you surprised by your results? Why or why not? You may also discuss this in more vague terms--what do you think of these models? For your review, both of these models can be viewed via PDF under this week's module. Then, discuss some key points related to the issue of maintaining sex and gender binaries (male/female and masculinity/femininity) in society. Why are they problematic? In what ways do they influence a skewed understanding of the terms "sex" and "gender," as well as conformity to particular sexual orientation(s)? Be sure to illustrate your answer with explanations from the text, our lectures and/or other cited research. -OR-2) Marriage and Family: Many Americans claim to believe that "love is blind" and that romance can spring up anywhere, as long as two people have chemistry. Chapter 14, however, argues that Cupid's arrow is largely aimed by society. What social factors play into the mate selection process? Explain.Then, watch the documentary/biography "Meet the Patels" (it's currently on Netflix: http://www.netflixreleases.com/meet-the-patels-2014/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.), and be sure to discuss the how what Ravi Patel is going through relates to the concepts presented in the text for this chapter. Lastly, examine your own relationships (past, present, anticipated future, etc.) and discuss how these social factors influenced your own mate selection. Do you see any patterns in the people you tend to date and/or the circumstances? Describe these phenomena from your life in sociological terms from the text. 3) Marriage and Family - alternate, if you can't find the documentary above: Many Americans claim to believe that "love is blind" and that romance can spring up anywhere, as long as two people have chemistry. Chapter 14, however, argues that Cupid's arrow is largely aimed by society. What social factors play into the mate selection process? Explain.Then, do some research on how other societies view and practice love and marriage, particularly within bi-cultural families, such as those who immigrated to the US in recent generations and are attempting to juggle a fine balance between customs in the US, and those of their native countries. Be sure to relate how some of these phenomena relate to the concepts presented in the text for this chapter, and remember to include citations to your sources within your paper, and at the end via a Works Cited or Bibliography. Lastly, examine your own relationships (past, present, anticipated future, etc.) and discuss how these social factors influenced your own mate selection. Do you see any patterns in the people you tend to date and/or the circumstances? Describe these phenomena from your life in sociological terms from the text

Part 1https://docs.google.com/document/d/120jiOfUNVMGyFj2zzRpHCNCfWmk05so9PsOVnWQ_rkI/edit answer the questions in 2-3 sentences ,Part 2Initial PostPrompt: Compare and contrast what it meant to be "Americanized" for Winnemucca and Zitkala-Sa?When you approach a "compare and contrast" essay, always make a list of similarities and differences. Based on those lists, pick one list to use for your essay.1. Think of 3 topic sentences.Remember that topic sentences give the point of the paragraph, in other words, they give the topic of the para.For example:Ed Sheerin writes his own songs based on his life growing up in Great Britain.Sheerin writes love ballads and also includes rap lyrics in some of his song repertoire.Duets with Taylor Swift and Beyonce have made Sheerin popular across several genres of music.The topics are that Sheerin writes songs, sings love and rap songs, and performs with big headline artists. 2. Think of a thesis statement/argument. Remember that the thesis statement relates the topic sentences together in an argument that addresses historical forces.For example:Ed Sheerin is the most talented and diverse artist of his generation.Note that I have not repeated the topics; I have thought and related together the topic to create an argument in thesis statement form.You must provide a short parenthetical citation for every response to a source as you would in a RW. For example, (Scott, 1055).Peer PostsNext, respond to two of peers by commenting on their thesis statement and the effectiveness of their argument.Be thoughtful in your peer responses, pointing at specific things in their responses; in short, say a bit more than "good observation!" :)1- 1. Topic Sentences: The price of being Americanized was abandoning cultural customs for Winnemucca and Zitkala-Sa. Native women were sexualized and demoralized by non-Indian men to the point where they abandoned their traditional gathering cycle. Native women often married Non-Indian men in order to broaden kin ties for resources. Thesis: As white men continued to expand into territories harboring natives, customs and social perceptions of Natives followed with aid from social and economic forces; thus, leaving Native women vulnerable to rape culture and oppression. 2-Thesis: Due to the capitalistic drive of American society and the quest for expansion, the cultural norms of what it meant to be “American” were enforced on the Indigenous people of America; where they were forced to live through years of oppression living through poverty, sexual, mental and physical abuse. The Winnemucca and Zitkala-Sa were targeted and driven through poverty by European society due to the Native American people being seen as “wild creatures” and “culturally inferior and economically marginal”(Dubois, et al., 348)(Winnemucca 229). The Native American women were sexualized and “vulnerable to exploitation” as well as seen as “savages” and “animals” that needed to be transformed into “docile” and “industrious” beings (Winnemucca 232)(Dubois, et al., 348-349). The indigenous people of color “adapted” to survive the mental and physical abuse where they not only lost their “spirit” and “voice” but their “freedom” as well (Winnemucca 234)(Dubois, et al., 347-348).
