I have two discussion posts in sociology class to do. write a page or half page long for each post , nothing major.
1. Choose a song that played a prominent role in a social movement of the past. Provide the lyrics and a link to a recording of it if available. What impact, if any, do you think this song had?
2. Herbert Gans, "More of Us Should Become Public Sociologists,"and Karen Sternheimer,"The Promise and Perils of Public Sociology,"discuss the notion of "public sociology." Outline each of their arguments and discuss whether you think public sociology is something you agree with, or whether you think that sociologists should not take sides on social issues. What social factors affect the likelihood that someone would be an active participant in this new movement?
