PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED FOR
ASSIGNMENTS.

Write a critical essay (using the format as discussed above) on the Social
Identity Theory to explain racism and sexism in South Africa or your own
country.

You have to include the following three sections:

Part A: Theoretical Framework:
A. Provide a brief historical introduction to the Social Identity Theory, for example,
who are the main theorists and where did the theory come from. You will find
most of the information in your study guide.

B. Explaining how social identity is formed in groups and society according to this
theory.

(60 Marks)

Part B: Practical Application:

Find two examples in the media where racism is portrayed (or claimed to be
portrayed).

OR

Conduct two conversations with either family or friends on whether gender and race
still influence social interaction between people in society and how social identity is
formed. Gender and race in South Africa, and globally, constitute some of the major
markers of how people perceive others and oneself. Discuss this statement by
analysing the media examples or conversations you had and applying the Social
Identity Theory.

(30 Marks)

Part C: Conclusion:

Here you have to summarise the main points from the theory and your practical
explanation. What are the main insights you gained in applying the Social Identity
theory? Did you find the theory useful in explaining your example? Briefly critique the
approach should you disagree with it.
