The paper must be 5-6 pages in length double-spaced. The main object of this assignment is to utilize the concepts and critical thinking skills in developing a sociological analysis of a social problem. I chose poverty, residential segregation, cultural stereotypes, environmental issues, violence, educational inequality, workplace discrimination or health disparities. Using two
primary sources to build your analysis. News articles and blogs are not an academic source but may be used over and above the requirements. Pay attention to the mechanisms by which social problems are reproduced alongside the processes that reflect the potential for transformation. Discuss the impact of such social problems in your own life or on someone that you know.
General Make sure to begin the paper with a clear thesis statement. To support your argument, you are required to analyze the data you gathered using the course concepts. You are required to focus your analysis by choosing concepts from at least two readings. One of these sources can a movie/movie clip screened in class. Use the library to find one academic primary source that provides deeper insight into the topic you have chosen. Bring in at least one real life example to illustrate the impact of the social problem. A well organized and sophisticated analysis will attempt to connect different topics to provide new insights. However, avoid making connections for the sake of making connections as this often results in a kitchen-sink approach that might cover various concepts but offers no depth of analysis.
