Applying a Sociological Lens
You’ve just experienced a whirlwind introduction to the field of sociology. As you read and watched the material, how did it make you think differently about your life? In other words, think about how the sociological lens sheds a new or different light onto aspects of your work, family life, community, and the like.
Instructions:
Step 1 Your Initial Post:
- Bring a sociological approach to an aspect of your life. Describe one social issue that you are familiar with (they could be things like poverty, gun control, racism, the environment, gender inequality, etc). Keeping your sociological frame activated, explain how the social issue you explained can be understood using one of the major theoretical approaches outlined in Video #2 this week, your text, and in the table below.
Step 2 Your Response Posts: - Read other students’ posts and respond to at least two other students. Discuss how you can use a different major theoretical approach to understand their chosen social issue.
