10 pages. Perhaps the most important reason that we study gender in sociology and why feminists are wont to work towards change in the gendered order of society is because genders tend to become stratified. This means that not only are men and women viewed as being different, they are also viewed as not being equal. There is today a power differential between women and men in our society. This paper explains how this inequality manifests itself in our society today as well as how genders intersect with other forms of stratification such as race, class, and sexual orientation.

Sociology of Food and Eating: Food Preference and Food Choice Factors
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the sociology of food and eating and its relation to the increase in focus on food preference and selection. The sociology of food has allowed for a great deal of insight into the selection and choice of food in modern British society. Since the intense study of the sociology of food begun in the 1990s, several trends have been discovered which lead to food selection preferences. These trends include McDonalization which suggests less diversity in food selection in Western cultures, social differentiation which suggest more diversity in food selections and self-regulation or self-rationalization which correlates food selection and eating habits with the perception of the self and the body. Food preference has also been greatly influenced by industrialization, national research and nutritional guidelines and commercial and national advertising campaigns. All of these factors combine to allow the consumer to pay more attention to personal preference in foods and eating habits while at the same time allowing for individuality and diversity.

More detailed attention to research design and the avoidance of unintended bias holds promise of revealing much more useful information in the future. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
