In this
assignment, you are to reflect upon a hot button social issue that citizens are
struggling with in the United States at present.
Your task
is to create a voice-over PowerPoint Presentation where you describe a current
issue in our society (e.g., mass shootings, high-profile sexual harassment in
the media, child detainment at our border, the migrant caravan, etc.) and
reflect upon it in light of one sociological theory from this course (e.g.,
symbolic interactionism, conflict theory, functionalism, etc.).
During
this reflection, describe the social issue that you have selected and discuss
why you find this problem worthy of discussion. Next, discuss how the
sociological theory that you have selected helps inform your view of the social
issue.
The
points of note on the PowerPoint can be brief, but the presentation should be
between 3-5 minutes long. You can also insert your video into the presentation,
but is optional.
