Analyze a major event sociologically. Be sure to include the following questions in your analysis:
From a sociological perspective, why did this happen?
In what social context did it occur?
Who is affected by the problem (think: groups, statuses, roles, class, income, education, etc).
Use sociological vocabulary (correctly!) and thoroughly explain your ideas.
Use one or more of the major theoretical perspectives to analyze this event:
Which sociological theory best explains this event? Why?
Does it take multiple theories? Why?
Evaluate your news source: How do you know it’s credible?
