Sociology 1

examine a social problem and apply the three sociological perspectives (Structural Functionalism, Symbolic Interaction, and Social Conflict); furthermore, the social problem should be narrowed down to an aspect of interest.  For example, if ones social problem is abortion, the aspect of interest may consider abortion and its effects on African American males living in the city of Watts, California.  Be advised that all students must choose an aspect of interest; a broad discussion of a social problem is not acceptable for the reaction paper.  The reaction paper must consist of:

• Introduction

                  Present the aspect of interest

                  List and define the three historical perspectives

                  Thesis statement

• (3) Body Sections that discuss the aspect of interest coupled with the social problem; furthermore, providing an understanding using the three sociological perspective.
