Racism, Income Inequality, and Poverty
\nInstructions
\nThe purpose: We have spent the last months talking about society: what it is, how it is set up and organized, and how it shapes our experiences and who we are. Now is your chance to give our learning shape by revisiting the question \u201cWho am I\/How did I get here?\u201d equipped with the sociological imagination.
\nThe assignment: Write a 500 – 600-word cohesive essay thoughtfully analyzing who you are sociologically. (That\u2019s roughly 2 pages.) I am looking for you to think sociologically about who you are by applying concepts and using course materials, particularly the sociological ones.
\nWhere to start?
\n\u2022\tReview the material we covered — particularly sociology!
\n\u2022\tThink about what resonated with you, helped you understand your experiences and who you are, and how you got here.
\n\u2022\tChoose a theme or two (maybe three) you can focus on. You can\u2019t tell your whole life story, but you can thoughtfully deal with some aspects of who you are or how you got here sociologically.
\nFor example, you might
\n\u2022\tAnalyze how biography and history intersect in your life or how your social location shaped your life and life chances
\n\u2022\tWrite an in-depth exploration of your relationship to a subculture, deviance, or socialization
\n\u2022\tExplore your relationship to various social institutions or social forces
\n\u2022\tUse your sociological imagination to explore what you thought were personal troubles as a public issue…. you name it.
\nWhat you focus on is less important than thinking about whatever you focus on sociologically (rather than individualistically) \u2013 intersectionality
\nNext, prepare class material you can refer to and use. Check readings from Canvas and Newman, your notes on our discussions, and film clips we\u2019ve seen. Review sociological concepts. Make a list of readings and concepts you can use along the way in your essay. Check the instructions for how to incorporate readings\/class material.
\nWrite it up! (See Hints below). Make sure to indicate the concepts you are dealing with in your essay by underlining, italicizing, or bolding.
\nRevisit what you wrote and make changes as necessary: Do you have an introduction? A body? A conclusion? Have you organized your paragraphs well? (Do you have paragraphs??) Does one paragraph lead to the next? Did you clearly indicate the concepts you\u2019re using per the instructions above?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
