In order to begin this project, start by carefully reading through the web pages listed on the resource page.
You are not limited to using only these pages to complete the assignment described below.

Your goal is to achieve the critical distance necessary to look at this issue objectively.
The question you will answer is, "Should children be raised to be gender-neutral?"

After conducting your research, you are going to present your findings.

 In your presentation, you MUST: 
  • define North American culture, norms, beliefs, values as they pertain to gender issues
  • explain the socialization process and why it is important
  • provide examples of positive results of raising children in a gender-neutral fashion
  • provide examples of negative results of raising children in a gender-neutral fashion
  • provide and discuss a specific piece of evidence drawn from a news source posted within the last two months
  • present your own conclusion to answer the question, in response to your research and your studies in Unit One. Your conclusion must be presented in an objective tone, supported by research.
  • present a course of action to the Alberta premier
  • write at least 1000 words
  • include a bibliography of all of your sources
  • Some options for presentation form are
    • Word document

NO matter the format of your presentation, the content, WITHOUT BIBLIOGRAPHY, should be at least 1000 words, which is roughly TWO single-spaced pages of 12-point font.
