You are to write an essay based on the readings you were assigned.\u00a0 <\/span>Your essay must demonstrate an understanding of the topics as well as<\/u><\/strong> how the article(s) and topics relate to the broader issues, theories, and approaches of sociology that have been discussed in the course.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your essay should address the following general issues:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>What is the argument being made? What is the thesis of the author(s)?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>What can we learn from the articles? How do these articles contribute to our SOCIOLOGICAL understanding of the world we live in?<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, your essay MUST address the questions listed for the 2 topics<\/u><\/strong> you have been assigned.\u00a0 <\/span>Figure out which 2 topics<\/u><\/strong>you have been assigned (listed after your essay # <\/span>here<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0 <\/span>Then, go to the \u201c<\/span><\/strong>Group Presentation Guidelines<\/span><\/strong>\u201c<\/span><\/strong> link.\u00a0 <\/span>Find the 2 topics<\/u><\/strong> and print out the specific questions for each topic.\u00a0 <\/span>These questions must be answered somewhere<\/u> in your essay.\u00a0 <\/span>(BUT DON\u2019T JUST<\/u> ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.\u00a0 <\/span>MOREOVER, YOU SHOULD ADDRESS THEM IN AN ORDER AND CONTEXT THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU AND YOUR ESSAY.)\u00a0 <\/span>You must incorporate the answers to those questions in a well-integrated, thoughtful, sociologically-grounded essay<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will be looking for your ability to integrate the two topics together<\/u><\/strong> in a sociological manner, while making use of the course material.\u00a0 <\/span>You should also integrate into your analysis a discussion related to how the article(s) intersect with the major paradigms of sociology.<\/u> <\/span><\/p>\n
