CR1
This CR requires that you demonstrate your knowledge of sociological theories.
There are multiple theories, theorists, and perspectives that are important in the field of sociology.
Three of the most important sociological theories are (1) Structural Functionalism, (2) Conflict Theory, and (3) Symbolic Interactionism.
In this CR, choose two from these three that appeal to your interests and consider the following questions:
What is the importance of theories and theorizing in the field of sociology?
What are the origins and the guiding principles of your chosen perspectives?
What are some examples of how this theory has been used to explain a facet of society
How are these two perspectives similar? How are they different?Why did you choose these two?Put these two theories in conversation with Mills (1959) and hooks (1991) work.
What would they say about these perspectives and why? Specifically, how do these theories map against
C. Wright Mill’s’ concept of embodying a sociological imagination and hooks’ work on theory as a liberatory practice? You should also feel free to use the articles you have read to inform your thinking. Be sure to cite appropriately
Explain your argument very clearly, being specific about why you agree/disagree with a theory and/or what weaknesses/strengths you see it offered.
Choose an article from a newspaper, magazine, or news website that was published on or after September 1, 2021. oThe article must be about a current event. oThe event can be happening anywhere in the worldoThe article can come from an international news source as long as it is written in English.oPick something that really interests you!
Choose one classical theory and one contemporary theory:Classical Contemporary Conflict Theory Critical Race TheoryFunctionalism Feminist TheorySymbolic InteractionismPost-Colonial TheoryPost-Structuralist TheoryQueer TheoryWestern Marxism3.
Write 1,000-1,500 words explaining how each of the two theories that you chose would explain the current event and making an argument for which of the two theories you think provides the best explanation for the event. You should not rely on direct quotations to explain your theories and make your arguments. Writing in your own words demonstrates your understanding of the material.
Introduction (100-150 words)oThis should be a concise paragraph that briefly introduces the reader to the current event you will be discussing, the theories you will use, and your argument. oIt’s kind of like a teaser or a coming attraction for a movie, except that in sociological research we expect there to be spoilers! You should include a brief mention of your conclusion.
Event (150-200 words)oGive a concise explanation of the current event that you have chosen to analyze,oIt needs to have enough detail so that a reader unfamiliar with it will be able to follow your argument. Even if it’s something that you’re pretty sure everybody already knows about, you have to pretend that we don’t. Explain it to us as though we are hearing about it for the first time.
Classical Theory (200-300 words)oA brief explanation of your chosen classical theory. Again, assume that we don’t know anything about the theory (even though you know we do). oAn explanation of how this classical theory would explain the current event you chose and why.
Contemporary Theory (200-300 words)oA brief explanation of your chosen contemporary theory. Can you guess what’s coming? Yes, assume we know nothing about it.oAn explanation of how this contemporary theory would explain the current event and why.
Argument (300-400 words)oTell us which of the two theories you think best helps explain the issue and why.oTell us why the other theory isn’t as good at explaining the issue.
Explain your argument very clearly, being specific about why you agree/disagree with a theory and/or what weaknesses/strengths you see it offered.
Conclusion (100-150 words)oSum up your paper with a paragraph that reiterates your main points.
Reference List (not included in word count)oProvide complete citations for any works that you referred to in your assignment, in ASA style.
