WST 331 Arguments of a False Dichotomy Discussion

 

I’m studying for my Sociology class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Imagine you are speaking with someone who has never before taken a Women’s and Gender Studies course.

Please explain to them what a “false dichotomy” is.

Your explanation must be a minimum of three (3) sentences long.

In your explanation you are required to quote from/cite/reference *either* assigned course content *or* scholarly, peer-reviewed academic sources from one of these fields of study:

Women’s and Gender Studies,

feminist studies,

queer studies,

LBGTQQIA studies,

Gender Studies,

sexuality studies, and/or

identity studies.

To begin, be sure to read or reread the following works: (attached)

2.)

Do independent research in order to find at least one (1) example of a dichotomy or dualism (yes, it can be a false dichotomy).

Your example must directly relate to gender *and* environments (“environments” should be broadly defined; consider how we study “environments” in this course: physical, political, and social environments, for example).

The example should come from the independent research that you do.

In your answer you are not permitted to draw on your own life experience.

You are required to formally cite the source/s that you use.

You are required to use outside source/s- i.e. beyond this class’s assigned content.

Your explanation must be a minimum of three (3) sentences long.

Remember, for this assignment, your example must directly relate to gender *and* environments.

3.)

Explain in detail how the example you provide in your answer to question two:

illustrates a dichotomy or dualism, and

directly relates to gender *and* environments (remember, “environments” should be broadly defined; consider how we study “environments” in this course: physical, political, and social environments, for example).

Please offer details to justify your answer.

Please directly quote from an appropriate academic source (course content and/or outside source/s) at least once in your response.

Your explanation must be a minimum of three (3) sentences long.
