1) Sofia is a 14-year-girl, and she loves watching the reality TVshow “American’s Next Top Model.” Her idols include supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen, and Natalia Vodianova. She believes that these models have everything: fame, money, a perfect body, and men are all crazy about them because they are so beautiful. Sofia dreams of becoming a model in the future and starts a very strict diet. Her mother is worried about her health as Sofia is showing signs of an eating disorder. Use the concept “hegemony” to explain and analyze the above scenario.2) Anna is a 27-year-old woman who usually doesn’t pay attention to her appearance since she is a freelance graphic designer working from home. Jose is a 30-year-old computer programmer who is very shy and feels anxious when speaking with women. Both Anna and Jose signed up for a speed-dating event as they want to find a long-term relationship. Anna went to a salon to have a haircut, bought a new pink dress, and polished her nails before the event. Jose also borrowed a nice suit from a friend, bought a new cologne, and spent a lot of time researching funny jokes. In the event, Jose presented himself as an outgoing and funny guy who constantly cracks jokes. Anna, on the other hand, is strongly opinionated, but she pretended that she agreed with everything Jose said. Use BOTH the concept of “socialization” and Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical approach (e.g. front/backstage, impression management) to analyze the scenario.3) A friend of yours is taking her first sociology course and is confused about what C. Wright Mills’ concept of “sociological imagination” means. She asks you to explain to her what it means. Explain the concept. And use Michelle Ronda’s essay as an example to show your friend how Ronda applied the concept of sociological imagination to examine her own life.4) The BMCC student newspaper is collecting research for an article on the subculture of BMCC. Because you have taken a sociology class, they ask you to share your knowledge with them. Compose a description of the subculture of BMCC students by explaining the values, norms, material goods, symbols, and language that differentiates BMCC students from mainstream culture.
