This is another chapter that will help you with Connecting Sociology and YOU! It will be easy to apply what you are reading to your own life. For example, how did you develop your gender identity? How are you “doing” gender now?
Rapid social changes are occurring around sex and gender, which probably impact you in some form or fashion. In relation to these topics, your social world is drastically different from your parent(s) at your age. Be aware that some topics in this chapter might trigger an emotional response. Please speak with your instructor or campus mental health resources for support.
It may sound out of place, but scientists attest that relationships are important in achieving your academic and personal goals. You will learn that the key is to engage in the sociological term, social capital. Add this to the power of beliefs, expertise, and self-motivation, and you have a winning combo!
To help you understand the material, we encourage you to read the SociologicalYOU blog posts. They are designed to connect current events with SY terms, concepts, and theories. Enjoy!
