Take out question on â€œThe Heart of the Game.â€
Directions: Using this documentary as our case study, provide a sociological analysis (not simply a narrative; use concepts and course content) with an emphasis in systems of inequality (class, race and gender) and the promise of education by addressing the following topics.
a. Class inequality:
Is there inequality among public schools in Seattle? Is this linked to the class composition of the area?
Do we see class tensions between players? Does class affect â€œlife chances?â€
b. Gender:
Is there a tension gender roles and athleticism historically and at present? Might there be variation here by class or â€œraceâ€ in gender roles?
Do we see gender discrimination? If so, in what forms?
Sexual abuse of (young) women. (Consider too, how sexual harassment affects womenâ€™s opportunities.)
Consider the impact of the policy change of Title IX.
c. Race: Challenges faced by Darnelia on moving from majority A-A school to majority â€œwhiteâ€ (Euro-American) school. How class and race inequality can affect self-confidence in some or all areas of activity, e.g. academics. (Keep a focus here on the sociological perspective. Donâ€™t simply personalize the issue.)
d. Coaches:
Who are they in these systems?
What are their class positions and what route did they take to get there?
Consider Darneliaâ€™s coachâ€™s eccentric and innovative strategies to get around potentially limiting gender expectations.
Note the coachâ€™s encouraging a peer based primary group within secondary group and new authority system.
e. Recognize the â€œintersectionalityâ€ of Darnelia and her coach in these multiple systems of inequality
