Week One Prompt

In the weekly theme, we explored an apparent contradiction;
categories like race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, and so on are
at once socially constructed and yet every bit as real as a physical
force like gravity. Citing scholarly works from your class readings or
from outside of the course readings, discuss how these social constructs
become real in how people relate to one another. Give clean and
concrete examples. Remember, you can’t see gravity, but you can examine
and point out its effects, and so it is with these crucial categories by
which difference is defined.
