Instruction
This course is intended to give students a broad understanding of social problems from a sociological perspective, and how they are often interrelated. To this end, students are expected to write a 5-7 page final paper that illustrates their cumulative knowledge gained. For this paper, choose a contemporary film (must have been released in 2008 or later) that highlights a particular social problem. Please do not select a documentary. Write a reflective analysis of the film, relating it to the various topics we have covered in class. It would behoove you to choose a film that highlights a social problem from multiple angles because you will need to discuss how the film’s social problem relates to:
Main topic: Inequality Race & ethnicity, Social class & poverty, Gender, and Sexual orientation. Two-side topics: Choose two topics across the below two categories Social institution, Families, Education, Work & the economy, Health & Medicine, Media, Social & Physical Worlds, Alcohol & drug abuse, Crime & criminal justice, Cities & suburbs and War & terrorism. Look at the file as much as you can, follow rules and ask any question if u have one. The paper should be double-spaced with your name, date, course name and title on a cover page. In addition to the content, you will be graded for correct grammar and spelling. Citations should be in APA format (you NEED citations), which means you will need a reference page – this does not count towards the page limit. The Power Point must be done within 5 hours while you will have a 20 hours to finish the paper.
