Question 2

Suppose you were curious about people's views regarding instant messaging and how it has affected the lives of Americans.
 
  Would the age of the individuals whose opinions you asked
  matter? Thinking about the concept of a cohort, describe how instant messaging might tend
  to be viewed by individuals who are 12 years old, 30 years old, and 70 years old.

Answer to Question 1

Race is meant to be a biological categorization (e.g., hair and skin color), whereas
ethnic group is meant to be a category based on national origin, religion, customs,
and language. Social scientists prefer not to use race, because there are no
clear-cut categories. SES refers to income, education, community, etc., and is
related to ethnic group but is certainly not the same.

Answer to Question 2

Students should affirm that age matters in this case. Specific views will vary, but
students should demonstrate an understanding of the importance of historical
context. For instance, 70-year-olds grew up without computers, 30-year-olds grew
up using computers for a much more limited number of tasks, and 12-year-olds have
grown up using the computer as a means of communication.
