The Application Paper is the culminating project for the course. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate your ability to think sociologically.
Select two sociological concepts from each module (six concepts in total) and apply them to your life. A concept is any term, idea, or theory and you may apply it through personal experiences or observation of others. You will need to provide one real-life example of six different concepts (two concepts per module) covered in the course.
Guidelines for the project:
Your paper should include an introductionry paragraph with a thesis statement, a body with the concepts and application, and a conclusion. It should be a minimum of two (2) pages and no longer than three (3) pages, not including the References page. When providing your concepts include a brief descriiption or definition before your application of it. Be sure to use in-text citations for each of your six concepts.
