I need an explanation for this Sociology question to help me study.

1)The ASE textbook refers to the gender binary as a type of socially constituted classification scheme that allows for there to be only two manifestations of gender (those being masculine and feminine). This scheme can limit the individual expression for those who do not see themselves as fitting meetly into either category, but instead who exist on a type of continuum between masculine and feminine. It also socially limits the various ways in which both masculinity and femininity can be expressed. Given that, which of the two expressions of “masculinity” above would be deemed more socially acceptable, and why?

2)Our textbook defines implicit bias as, associations our minds make between seemingly unrelated things. When we think about race and implicit bias, we should consider the unconscious favor or disfavor we have for those who look different from us. Follow the link (Links to an external site.) and take the Harvard implicit association test (IAT) for race. This test can measure your implicit bias in favor (not disfavor) of either Black or White subjects. Briefly discuss your experience with the test (not your results) and your impressions of implicit bias in the US.

3)Let’s take a moment to think about the place religion holds in the lives of people during crises. Religion is not just about ritual and spiritual practice, it also offers social, and psychological support for individuals and communities. How can religious organizations maintain a social connection to their communities and offer support to followers in an era of social-distancing?

4)Take a moment and discuss your thoughts about the ‘best’ form of government to have (i.e. democracies, authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, dictatorships) when it comes to confronting large-scale societal calamities (like natural disasters, wars, or pandemics).

5)Thinking about our discussion of the family as a social institution and some of the changes that have taken place within the family over the past few decades, take a moment to share your observations of and/or experiences with the changes associated with this most vital of social institutions. Think about changing structures and roles within the family, the impact of divorce (particularly in the US), or the growing acceptance of nontraditional families and same-sex marriage.
