1) Strategic Friendliness- a study done by Jennifer Pierce which shows a strategy that lawyers use to get ahead in their field. By employing strategic friendliness they try to "win over or dominate" another person. Messner uses this term when defining the CEO coach's style of coaching. He argues that the CEO coach is no less competitive than the Drill Sergeant coach, but he uses strategic friendliness, or quick thinking and exceptional talking ability, to get ahead of his competition.
2) Pain Principle- the pain principle is a concept brought up by Don Sabo. In this principle Sabo is discussing how male athletes tend to want to fight through pains and injuries for in order to achieve the glory of winning. Men tend to thwart their bottled up feelings and emotions (of their struggles striving for success) towards their opponents in order to play at their highest level.

Motley Crue Album Cover
This album cover is a great example of the "gender-bending" fashion of the 80's which was very influential for my generation.

SWMS 210gm SOCIAL ISSUES IN GENDER
Discussion Sections, Fall 2009
Tuesday 4:00-4:50pm VKC105 (34906R)
Tuesday 5:00-5:50pm VKC105(34907R)
Section Website: http://swms210.blogspot.com/
Welcome to the discussion section for SWMS 210gm. Discussion sections will examine and elaborate on the material presented through the lectures and readings. These classes will help us work through difficult concepts and problematize issues. 15% of your overall class grade will be determined by performance and attendance in the discussion section itself. In order to do well in this course you need to be present at every section with the readings in hand, be an active participant, and demonstrate your familiarity with the readings.
Attendance is mandatory – 40% of your grade
Because our meetings are an essential part of this course, attendance is required. Multiple absences and chronic tardiness will negatively affect your grade. Please notify me in ADVANCE if circumstances make it impossible for you to attend a session. Consult the course syllabus for more information on the attendance policy and penalties.
Participation and Blog Assignments - 40% of your grade
Part of your participation grade will depend upon your performance in our discussion blog. Prior to each discussion section, you will be expected to post 2 questions/comments regarding the readings for that week. Your blog post will be due on Monday evening by 9pm. Late posts will not be accepted. I encourage you to use the blog not only as a place to express your ideas but also as a discussion forum by responding to your classmates’ postings. Please email me ASAP so that I can invite you to the blog. Failure to keep current with assignments/postings on the blog will negatively affect your grade.
Group Presentations – 20% of your grade
Each student will be responsible for 2 group presentations which will be approx. 15 minutes in length. We will discuss what is expected of these presentations when I distribute a list of possible topics.
Class Conduct
Cell phone calls, texting, tardiness, inappropriate use of laptops, and other disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and will adversely affect your grade. In addition, I would ask that you remain respectful towards your classmates at all times. The goal of this section is to foster discussion and to create an environment where we all feel comfortable sharing our opinions. So above all, LISTEN and RESPOND appropriately to your classmates.
Students with Disabilities: Any student requiring academic accommodation based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained by DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to us as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30am-5:00pm Monday through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-0776.
* This syllabus is subject to change. I will communicate with you outside of class primarily through email and through the class blog, and it is your responsibility to check your account regularly for pertinent information. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
