Can you help me with a participant observation?
Complete the Participant Observation checklist to assist you with organizing your research and to take notes during your observation. Then, using your observation notes, write a paper that has these elements:
- An introduction that explains the research conducted and the purpose of the paper
- Detailed descriptions of the two observed instances in which gender influenced the actions of people in the real world. Be sure to address these questions: Who? What? Where? When?
- An explanation that incorporates the structural-functional theory to explain how gender was at work to keep society orderly in the social setting that you chose.
- A summary that restates the main points of the paper and suggests one lesson learned from the observation that is applicable to your own life in a gendered world.
Your paper should be between 4 and 5 pages, plus a title and reference page. You should include in-text citations in APA format for at least one academic source in addition to the course text. You should include the Participant Observation Checklist when you upload the Assignment into the Unit 4 Assignment Dropbox.
