Sociology Current Events Assignment
Sociology Current Events Assignment
Social Stratification
The topic of sociology is used every day in the news. You will connect what we are/will learn in class to what is happening in the real world.
You will research newspapers and periodicals for examples of sociological topics. A good place to find this research is through respected newspapers (such as The New York Times or Washington Post), news-magazines (Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, or the Atlantic Monthly), or their online sources. Not sources like Wikipedia.
Assignment
You will summarize the article (at least 400 words in length, preferably typed), explain how each article demonstrates the particular sociological topic (1-2 sentences), and give a reflection/educated opinion on the topic.
Within the article, briefly answer the following (if appropriate) with reference to your article:
• who
• where
• when
• what
• why
Then, analyze the significance of the article or its relevance to theories, concepts, or issues we've studied.
**Think of it this way: you are responsible for TEACHING me the information from your current event. How would you organize your information for me to understand it, and what did you want me to get out of this article?
