Review these questions before you begin reading and take notes on your responses – these notes will help you study for the exam. We will discuss your responses (especially the ones which ask you to identity real world applications of her concepts) in class. Be prepared. Vocabulary: Locate and identify what Williams means by the following terms/concepts: Rules/ Ropes; Privilege/ Discrimination; Feeling rules; Institutional power and authority; Social control; Entitlement, shopping as “women’s work” Theorists: See if you can locate the theorists that Williams mentions in your Henslin text: Herbert Blumer, Erving Goffman, Arlie Hochschild, Candace West & Don Zimmerman Theoretical Questions: 1. Identify William’s three main findings, and, in your own words, explain why each illustrates the symbolic interactionist theoretical perspective. 2. In her discussion of toy store “shop floor culture” Williams discussed the dynamics of racial “privilege” and racial “discrimination”. After identifying a few dimensions of each, explain in your own words how “privilege” is connected to “discrimination.” 3. On the final page of this article, Williams claims that her research illustrates Blumer’s theoretical assertion that, “…people act towards things based on the meaning that they give to them, and further, that those meanings arise in the course of interaction” (Williams, 2010:182). Can you explain the quote by Blumer using William’s data? Empirical Questions: Use your experiences at paid employment, or at the university to answer the following questions: Does your place of employment have “corporate rules” for employees to follow? If so, what are some of these and how do they differ from what actually happens during interactions at work (aka: the “ropes”)? Does your university have a “code of conduct” for students to follow? If so, what are some of these and how do they differ from what actually happens during interactions on campus (aka: the “ropes”)? Williams cites Morris (2005) who argues that clothing styles reflect race and class positionality. In your everyday work/school interactions have your noticed a “dress-code” that reflects class positionality? What is the code? What are some of the “feeling rules” in place at your work or here at school? Who is in charge of “social control” at your work or here at school? Think of an example where interaction broke down at work or school – what control strategies were used to reassert social order? Are there different levels of “institutional power and authority” held by different people at work of school? *BІЇЈГДR [ g З ц x y z … л н ї љ    + 9 ; F b e o Я б п с ё ѓ     , M N ˆ ‰ 45’“нєѕ'()=ЁЂqrИЙЬќїяїъхририараиќШќФќФќФќФќФќФќМќФќФќФќИДФЌДФДФДИДИДЈИЈДЈ ЈДЈИЈИЈh/Ch)-Е5h)-Еh/Ch_G25h_G2h/Ch_G2hl-‹5hwіhg$hl-‹5h_G2h_G26h_G2hl-‹6 hwі6 h_G26 h_G25hl-‹hl-‹5 hl-‹5hl-‹?*AB”ЇЈy z о d e С   , Х Ы ()ЁЂqr;њђђсђђђмммммммммммммммммзgd)-Еgdl-‹$a$gdl-‹lЦ џ$a$gdl-‹gdl-‹Ћў;<"#qrЉЊЋњњњњњњѕѓgdl-‹gd)-ЕЬ9:ЈЊЋќјєј№hl-‹hwіh)-Еh/C 1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %Аœ8`ёџ8 l-‹Normal_HmH sH tH DA@ђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRi@ѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (k@єџС(No List0>`ђ0 l-‹Title$a$5Ћ џџџџ*AB”ЇЈyzоdeС,ХЫ()ЁЂqr; < " # q r Љ Њ ­ ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ˆ˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€(˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€ˆ˜0€€(€˜0€€€˜0€€ €˜0€€ €˜0€€(€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€*AByde,Ы()ЁЂqrЉ ­ M900› Ќ-M900M900€ 0ШO900M900€00›дЩШO90›”ЂrO90M900M900M900O900M900"0 №Ш0›дЩНЬЋ ;Ћ Ћ џџ_Š<Й#`ŠД"77­ ??­ V*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€http://www.5iantlavalamp.com/h*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City0€http://www.5iamas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags  )ГКЩЯипчё›Љ'   џ ­ B’оc­ 33kxоc, ! ­  )­ џџsusan b murrayх_G2/Cl-‹)-Еwіџ@€))X|иkk))Ћ P@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"1ˆ№аhoBщfBщf*Ню Ню ‰#№ ДД4І І 2ƒq№K №џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџl-‹џџ)Sociology 001  Introduction to Sociologysusan b murraysusan b murrayўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0 ˜Ьи№ќ 4@ \ h t€ˆ˜ф*Sociology 001 – Introduction to SociologyWoocisusan b murray usausa Normal.dotrsusan b murray 2saMicrosoft Word 10.0@| о@кгtuOЫ@VнR{OЫНю ўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0( hp”œЄЌ ДМФЬ д фSan Jose State UniversitynІ A *Sociology 001 – Introduction to Sociology Title ўџџџўџџџўџџџ!"#$%&'ўџџџ§џџџ*ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РF0“g{OЫ,€1TableџџџџџџџџWordDocumentџџџџџџџџ"SummaryInformation(џџџџDocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџџџџџ CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџjџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
