Problem
Describe three sociological concepts or theories that connect to your personal or professional life. include an introduction (one paragraph) in which you identify these concepts and theories in boldface. Your introduction should also include a clear thesis statement (the main idea of your speech).
You can choose to relate these concepts and theories to your personal life (your experiences in your family, neighborhood, or schools you attended, for example) or to your career.
Explain how sociological concepts or theories connect to your personal or professional life. write one paragraph for each concept or theory (three paragraphs total), applying the concepts or theories to your experiences or observations.
Include examples from your personal or professional life to illustrate each concept or theory.
Explain (in one or two paragraphs) how an understanding of one or more of the sociological concepts or theories you have discussed can help you improve your ability to collaborate with others and further develop one or more of the three essential learning outcomes: personal and social responsibility, problem solving, and relationship building.
Include a sociological research question that is based on your story and reflects something you are interested in learning more about. For example, if you wrote about some of the challenges you faced in the education system, your research question might be: what programs or policies have been found to improve the quality of K-12 education in impoverished areas? If you wrote about your frustration with groupthink in the workplace, your question could be: what are the best strategies for reducing the negative aspects of groupthink in today's workplace?
Describe in a paragraph in which you discuss steps you would take to answer your research question, based on your understanding of the scientific method, which is covered in Chapter 3 of your textbook.
Include a conclusion that sums up what you have learned and/or what your audience has learned about you. Also include 3 resources to support your findings.
