Instruction
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze your life experiences through a sociological lens. This is an opportunity to demonstrate cumulative knowledge of the topics we have covered throughout this semester and to apply this to your own life.
Directions
We are continually influenced by society and our experiences in the social world. This assignment will require you to reflect on those experiences, discuss how society has influenced your life, and examine specific sociological concepts in greater detail.
To complete this assignment, you will be asked to choose specific topics from the class (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, social class) and you will write an autobiographical essay based on your life. This does not have to include your whole life story, rather specific moments that were influenced by society. Be specific and use examples for each sociological concept that you include in the assignment. The goal is to make connections between personal experiences and social issues.
