Sociological Issue Analysis Paper

Description

The Final Assignment for this course will be a 4-6 page paper, examining one of the sociological issues arising from our course discussions or a current event in light of a specific sociological theory. The paper should cite all sources and have a reference page, in APA format, with at least 3 peer-reviewed sources. The best way to approach this paper is to put yourself in the role of teacher.  The paper needs to teach someone who knows nothing about your topic, all the relevant issues.   Topics, can be anything we have covered, or any other current event that can be applied to sociology.     Here’s what I am looking for in the paper: Introduction Introduce the topic What is the issue? What are the problems? Why is this relevant? Theory choose a sociological theory (for example: conflict theory) and explain its perspective how would this theory interpret the issues of your topic Problem what are the effects of the problem? what happens or will happen if it is not addressed? Solution what needs to happen? what solutions or ideas could help? are there past solutions that have not worked, or started to work but need changing? what do you recommend? BE SURE TO USE RESEARCH (DATA AND FACTS) TO PROVE YOUR POINT.  BE SURE TO CITE YOUR SOURCES. Expectations Due: Monday Midnight Length: 4-6 pages, excluding title and reference pages Research: at least 3 peer-reviewed sources Format: APA Style See USU Written Assignment Grading Rubric with APA – UG for additional details and point weighting.
