NO OUTSIDE SOURCES ARE TO BE USED

1) Describe a situation in your life where you think you could benefit from using the Sociological Imagination. 

2) Which theoretical perspective do you think has the strongest potential to explain social issues?  Why?

3) Pick a social topic you think needs analysis and describe two different methods to research it.  Make sure it is a relatively simple topic - a relationship between two variables - independent and dependent (if THIS then THAT)

*For this course you can reference the text as
(Griffiths et al 2015)

All text excerpts are from Griffiths et al (2015). If there is a quote or reference within a text excerpt; you include both the original author and year and the author and year of the work where quote/idea was found in the in-text reference. Add "as cited in" before the author in the in-text reference. For example - (Mills, 1955, as cited in Griffiths et al 2015).
