For this option you are to take an event that has happened or is happening and explain it sociologically. So, the sociological imagination should be used for this. Think about that as you analyze this. How did/does the intersection of history and biography and any other relevant social forces coalesce to form this event or phenomenon? This should inform your analysis. What social forces are at work? 
Analyze a major event sociologically. Analyzing something sociologically is very different than reporting your opinion. In fact, please leave out any opinion and instead analyze the event using course concepts and theories. This is how to analyze something sociologically. Sociology is adept at explaining society today, as such, it is a good idea to not choose a historical event.
Be sure to include the following questions in your analysis (but do not be limited to just these items): 
Why did this happen from a sociological perspective? This is a complicated question that requires a nuanced discussion of intersecting social forces, sociological concepts and sociological theories. It is a macro question for sure!
What social context did it occur in? (for example rising hate crimes against Asian Americans in the wake of COVID-19 weren’t new; there’s a long history of this in The United States). This is where you detail the history leading up to this event/phenomenon. That is, using the sociological imagination, what are the intersections between the history and the biography? 
How many are affected annually by the problem (if this applies)?
Use sociological vocabulary, course concepts and sociological theories like functionalism, conflict theory, intersectionality and symbolic interactionism. Thoroughly explain your ideas.
Which sociological theory(ies) best explains this event? Does it take multiple theories? Theory and course concepts should take up the bulk of your paper. The sociological analysis is everything. 

Please write a 4-5 page paper answering the following question.   Please make direct reference to the assigned readings, films, and lectures throughout your paper but keep word-for-word quotes to a minimum.  Do NOT use any sources or references other than the above. Do provide a “Reference Page” and any needed citations using APA style so that I know which assigned readings, films, and lectures you are using in your paper. 
Use you OWN words and thoughts, and state your argument clearly, then back it up and explain it fully. 
Please use 12 point font and double spacing and ONLY submit through Blackboard. 
These papers are due by 11:59 pm on May 24th. If you need an extension, please see my announcement about INC grades and email me before that deadline with an explanation and documentation. I am usually lenient in offering an extension if one is warranted. Do NOT just submit your paper late under the assumption that I will automatically accept it and read it. The Dean’s office has cautioned all faculty against accepting late work unless an extension has been arranged in advance with a reason provided.  Otherwise, simply allowing some students extra time to submit work creates an unfair situation. Be sure you are familiar with my policy on INC grades by reading the announcement about it carefully. 
If your paper seems plagiarized or AI generated and receives an F grade for that reason, you may appeal my decision to the chairperson and the faculty committee that reviews those appeals. 
The paper prompt:
Units 3 and 4 naturally fall together as racial equality and race liberation movements in the US (like voting rights drives in the south 60 years ago or the Black Lives Matter movement of the last 15 years) are both inspired by and, in turn, inspire anti-colonial movements in other parts of the world. Unit 3 focuses on some key features of those movements in the US — on the life and history or John Lewis who went from being an activist and political organizer to being a highly respected legislator and on the fictional but very sympathetic story of an African American high school student who has to straddle different worlds and perspectives when her life is rocked by avoidable violence. Unit 4 focuses on the history of South Africa’s anti-Apartheid movement. Many of the best known actors in that movement — Stephen Biko, Nelson Mandela — had reputations as dangerous revolutionaries before they came to be seen as the courageous freedom fighters we now remember them as. They did want a revolution, but destroying the Apartheid regime would have been dangerous to the fortunes and privileges of the protected white, colonial minority in South Africa at that time. 
For this paper, I would like you to choose one or two aspects of overlap between these two units. You could focus on events – maybe the killing of Stephen Biko and the killing of George Floyd and the aftermaths of those events. You could focus on activist figures like John Lewis and Nelson Mandela. You could choose some other part of these histories. Please tell me all you have learned about the aspects you choose, and write about how these movements are similar or different. How do you see colonialism and struggles against colonialism as related, or not related, to racial justice movements in the US. What do you see as key to the success or failure of these movements? What factors energize the social movement and bring people together even when protesting is dangerous? Do you have any criticisms of these movements? If you do, please state them very clearly and explain them completely. For the whol paper, offer as much explanation and/or examples as needed.

The mass media act as an agent of socialization, teaching individuals the social and cultural ideals of their society. As individuals, the media not only teach us about society’s expectations and desired behaviors, but we also learn which social identities our society values the most and which are seen as less desirable.
For this discussion, you will examine what role the mass media play in replicating and reinforcing the stratification systems connected to a variety of social identities.
