For this assignment (one page minimum) you have a choice of choosing one of two scenarios/situations: Scenario 1. You can label and apply Meade’s Mechanism of the Self to a real-life scenario of your own which had a strong impact on the development of your social self. Mechanism of the Self and gender identity (Socialization and Gender): Scenario 2. In the fourth grade, Stan is playing ball with his classmates and is placed in left field. During the game, a ground ball is hit in Stan’s direction, he picks it up and throws it only to have it bounce two feet in front of him. His teammates get antsy and yell at him to “chuck it home.” On the second try, Stan picks up the ball and throws it with all of his might grunting to show the effort. Unfortunately, he only manages to throw it five feet in front of him. By this time, his teammate in center field picks up the ball and throws it home after two runners crossed home plate. To show their frustration, Stan’s classmates yell “Ah you throw like a girl.” causing Stan to cry and receive even more harsh criticism. Next year, Stan is again placed in the outfield. Another ground ball is hit in his direction, this time when he picks up the ball he throws it past home plate and over the 20-foot fence surrounding the field. His classmates look at him with amazed disbelief.
