Assignment 3: Essay Question week 1
Sociology is an application-based social science. In other words, it is intended to be applied and to aid in
your understanding of the social world around you. By Thursday, April 6, 2017, write a short essay (2
pages) on the topic below. Your essay should have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Your essay will
demonstrate an understanding of the course material plus material you find through research of other
materials and its application to everyday life and/or its relationship to real-life situations.
Topic:
How would your life be different if you were someone else? This week's assignment allows you to explore
this question by gathering data through fieldwork. Please spend an hour in a public place—a mall, a
library, a bookstore, a church or synagogue, school, etc.—people watching. Choose three people who are
different from you in a key way—someone who differs in age, someone who differs in gender, and
someone who differs in race—and write about what it would be like to be that person. Build your own
thoughts on what it would be like to be a member of this group based on your observations (fieldwork)
data as well as data gleaned from your research of written materials. Describe and explain these
differences using your sociological imagination and any two of the four contemporary theoretical
perspectives discussed in this week's reading assignment. Do not rely on stereotypes but on sound
sociological research.
this essay must be APA formatting and style guide.
