(https://archive.org/details/woman_by_woman). If the video does not open, please use another browser, like Mozilla Firefox.

Then, write a 1 page summary and reaction to the video.

Page 2 and forward: Analyze the video based on ONE of the theoretical perspectives Structural functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism, or Conflict. The choice is yours. Choose the perspective you are most comfortable with, and along with your notes and textbook analyze the video. Make sure your examples are clear and that your explanations are thorough. You must clearly justify why your example is in line with the chosen perspective. DO NOT provide examples about different perspectives. You must choose only one.

In sum, you must have 3 specific examples from the video WITH explanations of ONE of the following:

Functionalism
Symbolic Inter-actionism OR
Conflict perspective

Your paper should total approximately 2 pages total, typed, singled spaced. Please submit 1 paper that includes the reaction AND the analysis.

Below is a simplified example of how an analysis should be completed. Note that I expect much more detail, and that your examples must come from the video.

The analysis is the most critical part of the paper, and that is where you need to apply the theory you feel most comfortable with. For example, if you were given a scenario about people in the US who live in an adult community. The story provided details about the lifestyle and expectations. It also went into the expenses and how most people are not able to afford to live there.

You have 3 choices to pick from. For example, if you decide on the Functionalist perspective, you could say that the nursing home serves a positive (manifest) function, because older people are provided with a place to live where they are cared for. In addition they have entertainment and a chance to make new friends.

The symbolic interactionist perspective would focus on the symbols that are present. First, the word “adult community” implies that you must be 55 years or older to live there. A symbol of being old is: gray hair, walkers, wrinkles etc.

The conflict perspective would look at inequality. They would address the cost of living in such a community. They would talk about the fact that the poor cannot afford to live in such a community and they are therefore at a disadvantage.

Remember, you are expected to choose only one of the perspectives. It’s easier if you use the key words in your response:

Functionalism – balance or purpose
Conflict – inequality
Symbolic Interactionism – symbols

Good luck.

Answer preview…………

The video “Woman by woman: New hope for the villages of India” outlines the stories of how women in India are taking up new roles to assist in poverty alleviation and also family planning. Based on the stories of several characters in the state of Bihar, the video follows the stories of ordinary women in the villages, the lack of opportunities they come across, and the gender inequality they experience as a result of tradition. Furthermore, the video also highlights the generation of women who are stepping up to appreciate and take up their role as leaders in discussing matters of reproductive health, as well as educating other women hence strengthening them. Through this documentary, a functionalist society is seen in the way women rely on each other and the men in their lives to improve their living standards and also make a better life for their families……..
