2.) Then, using your article and/or your personal experience, describe 3 norms, values, and/or practices to which you are being socialized as a nursing student.
Please feel free to use the template below to structure your response.
As a nursing student, we are being socialized into several norms. A norm is [insert a definition of norm]. One norm we are being socialized into as a nursing student is [insert norm here]. This is key to our professional socialization as nurses because [insert rationale]. Another norm we are being socialized into is [insert norm here]. This norm also supports our professional socialization because [insert rationale]. Finally, we are also being socialized into key values. A value is [insert definition of value]. In our nursing education, we are being socialized into the value [insert value here] because [insert rationale].

Criteria #1 – Three Social Aspects’ Influence on Your Self-Identity:  Provide a clear analysis and explanation in detail on how three of the six social aspects listed below in bold specifically influenced the development of your self- identity (who you are, your personality, world view) throughout your lifetime so far. 
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcThree Social Aspects’ Influence on Self Identity  It is expected that you provide a clear analysis and explanation in detail on how three of the six social aspects listed below in bold specifically influenced the development of your self- identity, (who you are, your personality, world view) throughout your lifetime so far.

The effects of technology/social media
Your social class status
Your race/ethnicity
Your gender
To  complete this criteria well, for each of the three social aspect you choose to address, you should:
Address each of the three social aspects you chose within its own section. Use subtitles above each of their sections in your autobiography. 
Provide specific background information from your own life experience regarding each social aspect.
Then, provide many details about who you are to show how  these experiences influenced the shaping of you as a person.
So, in each section after providing your personal information and experiences about a social aspect, ask yourself: Who am I because of this experience involving this specific social aspect? Then, in detail, describe you, your personality, your world views, your behaviors, and etc, to show how each of the social aspects experienced affected the shaping of you.
Extra Credit Opportunity – You can earn up to 3 points for each additional social aspect you address beyond the three required (so you can potentially earn up to a total of 9 points extra credit, if you address all 6 correctly). The same requirements stated above apply when addressing each additional social aspect to earn the full amount of extra credit. 
Criteria #2 – Sociological Concepts and Theories Connections: Since this is your sociological autobiography, and not just your autobiography, this paper is expected to also contain connections to and application of at least three relevant sociological concepts and/or theories throughout the paper.
To do this part well, first review the important concepts or theories from the our textbook chapters we have covered so far (which are presented in bold print in our extextbook) that correctly relate to the ideas from at least three sections in your autobiography.
Make sure to thoroughly describe each sociological concept or theory correctly in your own words when you bring them up in your paper to demonstrate your correct and full understanding of each. Present each concept or theory in bold print.
Then, clearly explain how each concept or theory applies to the various ideas in the parts where they were brought up in your autobiography. 
Support and references should come from at least our textbook.  Additional credible academic resources can also be used.

Locate a current events article that exemplifies discrimination in the United States today (dated recently, within the past year).  The article can be obtained from a newspaper (local or national), a magazine, or the internet (be sure it is a reliable news source).  
Provide a brief summary of the article and indicate how the article is representative of discrimination in the United States (be sure to specifically apply the definition of discrimination provided in Chapter 8 of the text). 
Discrimination and prejudice do not necessarily occur in concert with
one another. People can be prejudiced without discriminating and 
people can hold prejudicial ideas and attitudes and not engage in
discriminatory behavior.

The final policy paper requires you to identify a dimension of stratification that is of interest to you and to find a policy proposal that promises to fix the problem. My topic is about income stratification caused by different genders. 
First, please use some data and evidence to demonstrate the income inequality caused by gender in American society. 
Secondly, The second element will be based on your ability to find policy reports that suggest proposals that promise to fix the problem. You should be able to fully discuss the proposal and what specifically it is trying to fix. (For example, Civil Right Act VII mentions that any employment discrimination based on gender, race, or color is not allowed. Of course, you do not have to choose this law) 
The third element will be to discuss whether the proposal will help with the issue you identified. The criteria you should consider are: 
1. Does the policy attempt to fix the causes of the problem, or to fix the consequences of the problem? 
2. Is the policy cost effective? 
3. Would the policy affect the broadest range of people affected by the issue? 
4. In your opinion, do you think this is the best choice to fix the problem? Why?
Here are some course materials for reference. (You do not need to fully use the materials I gave)
