Social groups

As we are currently discussing , the social groups in which we are raised and in which we live out our day-to-day lives can, to a great extent, shape the people we become.

For this assignment, you are asked to write an essay describing a social group to which you belong (or belonged at some point in your life) and explain how your membership in that social group influenced your self-concept, self-esteem, attitudes, and/or behavior.

Your essay should show deep reflection into the role social processes have played in shaping the person you are today.

Requirements:

– To receive credit for this assignment, you must address the prompt; in other words, you must (a) describe a specific social group and (b) explain how your membership in this group influenced at least one of the following: your self-concept, self-esteem, attitudes, and/or behavior.

– Your essay must be 500-600 words in length (no shorter, no longer).

– In your essay, you should apply 3 additional key concepts from Ch. 13 (the self) and/or Ch. 12 (social psychology) to describe, explain, and shed new light on your experiences. Importantly, you may not count self-concept, self-esteem, attitudes, or behavior as any of your three concepts. To be clear, everyone can and should use one or more of these concepts in their essay in order to address the prompt, but you can’t count them as any of your 3 concepts.
