Describe and discuss the three major sociological perspectives. Using examples, apply each perspective to a single social institution of your choice. This essay component, which is worth 25 points, is the second part of the first exam. Do not forget to complete the multiple choice portion of the exam.
Your essay should be at least three pages in length (one page for each perspective) and meet the formatting requirements specified in the “Guidelines for Writing Formal Papers” handout.
Avoid drawing from a lot of outside sources for your response. Instead, focus on the resources available in the Brightspace course shell. You are not required to cite any of the academic common knowledge information presented in my lectures (or my lecture videos) or in the textbook as long as that information is presented in your own words. I will not require strict APA in-text citation for the class readings or other resources located in the Content section. It is fine to simply identify the author(s) by last name in the body of the paper. You should use quotes sparingly, but if you are citing material verbatim, be sure to use quotation marks and the page number (if possible). A references section is not required for this response.
I am happy to give you feedback on drafts of your work. Feel free to visit during my office hours.
