Gender as a Social Process
In this assignment, you will provide a meaningful comparison and contrast among at least four different theoretical perspectives that focus on the formation of gender: identification theory, social learning theory, cognitive-development theory, and symbolic interaction.
Focusing on these four theoretical perspectives, write a 2-page essay (500 to 600 words) that addresses the following:
Define each of the four theoretical perspectives in your own words and provide an example of each.
Provide an analysis of at least four key differences between these theoretical models.
Choosing two of the four perspectives, explain how the two perspectives you have chosen are similar or may complement each other.
Provide evidence from both your textbook and at least one outside source. Be sure to follow proper APA format, including the use of in-text citations and a references list at the end of your paper.
