Think about what makes you, YOU. Consider the societal expectations of boys versus girls, young versus old, rich versus poor, and black versus white.

• Describe a social category—such as age, gender, religion, or race—and how you believe it is socially constructed.
• Describe why you believe the social construct that you identified may cause or support social inequalities.

In your responses to at least 2 classmates, consider the social categories that your classmates have selected. In your replies, you could describe how their selections and examples expand your understanding of the power of social constructs in your own life.
