Write a concise 2-3 page APA formatted essay with 3-4 references and use in-text

Write a concise 2-3 page APA formatted essay with 3-4 references and use in-text citations on applying your own Sociological Imagination to analyzing any topic we’ve discussed over the semester. Use the week-by-week topics of the syllabus to make your selection for your sociological analysis. I am purposefully leaving the final open ended for students to create their own sociological analysis.
In your essay, begin by explaining the Sociological Imagination by C. Wright Mills, and then use the concept as a way to analyze your own “personal trouble” as a larger structural “public concern.” Then, discuss both the micro-level and macro-level of the topic and the groups of people involved and/or affected. Conclude by offering your own insight into solutions towards the “personal trouble/public concern.”
Topics to choose from:
“Sociology in the news” & Sociological Paradigms/Perspectives
Setting the Stage for Success & intro and brief History of Sociology
Culture & Mass Media
Society, Social Interaction and Socialization
Groups and Social Networks
Deviance, Social Control and Labeling Theory
Stratification & Inequality
Race & Ethnicity
Gender and Sexuality
Sexuality & Intersectionality
Marriage, Family & Aging
Education
Religion
Describe the sociological imagination and apply the concept to gain a better understanding of their own lives and the society in which they live.
Assessments in the learning process (and higher education specifically) help to measure student’s learning in relation to the course outcomes. The course outcomes are used to satisfy your general education requirements, prerequisite requirements, and/or degree requirements. Therefore, the final assignment is a way to assess your learning at the end of the course, and for you to demonstrate what you now know about the sociological imagination and its theoretical use in Social Sciences.
