Systems оf Pоwer  Directiоns: Choose ONE question from this set аnd аnswer it.Write 8–12 sentences (аbout one solid paragraph). Your answer should include: a clear definition of the key concept(s), 2) one specific real-world example, and 3) a brief analysis of power (who benefits, who is constrained, and how the system reinforces it). Matrix of Domination Define the Matrix of Domination and explain how it helps us understand gender inequality as a system (not just individual prejudice). Use one example that shows power working through at least two domains at the same time. Domains of power (compare two)Choose two domains of power (structural, disciplinary, hegemonic/cultural, interpersonal). Define each one, then apply both to the same real-world situation (workplace, school, healthcare, family, media, etc.). Explain how the two domains reinforce each other. Privilege and social locationDefine social location and explain how it shapes access to privilege or vulnerability within a gendered system of power. Use one example to show how what feels “normal” to one group can operate as a barrier or risk to another group. Meritocracy and inequalityExplain what meritocracy claims and summarize one major critique of it from Unit 5. Then apply that critique to a concrete example (hiring, pay, education, healthcare, policing, etc.) and explain how unequal outcomes can happen even when people believe the system is “fair.”How you will be graded: Concept accuracy (3 pts): Correct definitions and correct use of Unit 5 vocabulary Example quality (3 pts): Specific example that clearly fits the concept Power analysis (3 pts): Explains how inequality is produced/maintained (or how power shifts) Clarity and completeness (1 pt): Organized, readable, meets the expected length

Individuаls, Culture, аnd Shifting Pоwer  Directiоns (Set B): Chоose ONE question from this set аnd answer it.Write 8–12 sentences (about one solid paragraph). Your answer should include: a clear definition of the key concept(s), 2) one specific real-world example, and 3) a brief analysis of power (how norms, institutions, or interaction patterns keep it going—or how they could be changed). TokenismDefine tokenism and explain why it does not automatically create inclusion or equality. Describe a realistic situation where tokenism might occur and explain how it shapes pressure, visibility, or expectations for the person in the token role. Microaggressions and cultural powerDefine microaggressions and explain why they matter sociologically (even when they seem “small”). Then connect microaggressions to hegemonic/cultural power by explaining how norms and stereotypes make these interactions feel “normal” to some people. Internalized oppressionDefine internalized oppression and explain how it can develop through repeated messages, rewards/punishments, or social expectations. Give one example of how internalized oppression might affect someone’s self-image, choices, or relationships. Shifting power and social changeDescribe one realistic way power can be shifted (individual action, collective action, institutional change, policy change, culture change). Identify which domain(s) of power your strategy targets and explain why change at that level matters.How you will be graded: Concept accuracy (3 pts): Correct definitions and correct use of Unit 5 vocabulary Example quality (3 pts): Specific example that clearly fits the concept Power analysis (3 pts): Explains how inequality is produced/maintained (or how power shifts) Clarity and completeness (1 pt): Organized, readable, meets the expected length
