Which of the following is an example of the type of question sociologists ask when they are looking at how the micro-level affects the macro level?

a. How does society shape our family lives?
b. How do factors like race, class and gender impact family life?

Question 2

Zavella (cited by Aulette) interviewed Chicanas who worked in canneries in California about the tensions between work and family.

The women had been encouraged and socialized to become full-time housewives and mothers but were working in the cannery. What did Zavella find was the typical reaction of these women regarding their working?
a. They were disappointed and sometimes angry with their husbands for not providing enough income that would allow them to be full-time homemakers.
b. They felt guilty about working outside the home and felt that working prevented them from being good wives and mothers.
c. They felt that working for pay helped their families and was, therefore, an extension of their roles as good wives and mothers.
d. They suppressed their guilt about working by becoming supermoms doing even more domestic activities than their full-time homemaker friends.
