Assignment:
Watch a sitcom, drama, or reality television show "through a sociologist's eyes." While watching the show, imagine how one or more of the major theorists would explain the show's situation or story. Write a 700 to 1050-word paper including a brief synopsis of the show and an explanation of the events based on a sociological perspective (social conflict, structural-functional, or symbolic interactionism). You may choose to focus on a specific scene or character from the show instead of the entire program. Be sure to state which perspective you are "viewing" through and give specific examples from the show that relate to the basic tenants of your selected perspective.
