INSTRUCTIONS:
In 4 double-spaced pages write a reflection on how a social problem that you are interested in can be analyzed using a concept that you learned in class. Feel free to organize your writing in the following order: - Identify a social problem (Try to mention why you consider that a ‘social problem’ by referring to the sociological criteria discussed in class) - Choose a concept discussed in the readings that you consider relevant to the social problem you are interested in studying. - Make a brief description of your chosen concept and try to reflect briefly on why you think that concept would be useful to write your reflection. - Express your research question and write, on max. 3 pages, a sociological answer to it. Develop and identify your argument within the text. - Feel free to refer and cite any number of newspaper articles, journal articles and books. I will provide you with citation format examples. This assignment is intended to provide you with the opportunity to engage with the course material as it relates to present everyday life in the context of the communities in which we live. Try to write about what really interest you.
