Select a short video from YouTube (or elsewhere) that features one or more ideas from the
assigned
Chapter 8 Sex and Gender, Chapter 9 Race and Ethnicity, Chapter 10 Marriage 
and Family, and Chapter 1 The Sociological Perspective 
for this exam. Paste the link to
your chosen video in your Original Post, and author/post about 50-100 words that briefly
describe your video in your own words, while drawing specific connections to content from
your textbook “<>, 6/E James M.
Henslin, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville”.
Most importantly, explain how your
video answers test questions from chapters 8,9,10, 1 that you might anticipate seeing on the
upcoming exam.
Write a Reply Post:
In addition to your Original Post, watch some other students’ videos, read their Original Posts,
and write a 50-100-word Reply Post to one other student’s video and related Original Post.
Don’t just say you liked it, but try to add something insightful and instructional for the rest of
your classmates to read.
Imagine that all these videos and posts will be a Student Generated Study Guide (SGSG) that
augments the textbook, helping other students to learn material from the assigned exam
chapters. You do not have to, but you could even suggest an alternative YouTube video on the
topic as part of your Reply Post to that other student’s Original Post.
The post below which you need to reply and it is the example of the original post:
Race and Ethnicity

Historically sociologist and biologists have defined race differently. Biologist use physical 
characteristic such as skin color, hair, bone structure to define race. Sociologist  see race
as a social concept that may vary from one society to another depending on how the 
people of the society perceive physical difference among human beings. They are 
interested in how do people treat people with different skin color e.t.c . Although race is a 
social concept ethnicity is different, ethnicity is based on a shared cultural identity that 
can be accepted or denied by society. Sociologists define ethnicity as cultural 
characteristics that are shared in certain sub-groups. Race is concerned with biology, 
physical characteristics, heredity traits etc whereas ethnicity is much more interested in 
cultural groups . Racial and ethnic differences may produce stereotypes prejudice 
discrimination and racism, sociologist define stereotypes as behaviors or tendencies that 
are attributed to an entire group members and are thought to possess those particular 
characteristics  simply thru their membership in the group. The use of stereotypes may 
lead to prejudice which is an attitude that prejudges a person either positively or 
negatively on the basis of stereotypes. Discrimination occurs when prejudice is translated
into behaviors that treat others unfairly on the basis of group membership. Racism is an 
ideology based on a belief that an observable supposedly inherited traits is a mark of 
inferiority that justifies discrimination against people with that trait. Racism is tied to

power and control; those that are privileged want to make sure those that other people 
don’t have access to that because of the other groups race. One way to understand the 
concepts of race and ethnicity is through sociological perspectives ; functionalism, 
conflict, & interactionism.
Functionalist perspective
 : racial and ethnic differences exist because they serve 
important functions for a particular society . This perspective shows that racism could 
exist when people need some kind of bonding experience and in Hitler’s Germany the 
use of scapegoated (Jews) became the rallying cry for getting the German people to see 
themselves as having some kind of unitary or community experience .
Conflict prospective
: examine race and ethnicity in terms of economic and political 
power. Conflict theorists believe racism is about ongoing exploitation of people of color 
that goes back all the way to slavery. According to this perspective those with power use 
race and ethnicity to create intergroup conflict that will work to their advantage. 
Functionalism and the conflict perspective often examin group relations within the larger 
structure of society.
Interactionism perspective
:  Focuses its attention on group interaction on a much 
smaller scale. One aspect of race and ethnicity that interactionism examines is labeling, 
labeling reduces complex individuals to stereotypes.
