Overview
The purpose of this project is to give you the opportunity to apply the sociological imagination and the three main sociological perspectives to your everyday life. In this project, you will reference appropriate Course Learning Objectives (CLOs) and sociological concepts that apply to your life. This assignment can be related to any and all of the CLOs and any sociological concepts.
This project is a reflective activity using the PowerPoint presentation tool, which will allow you the opportunity to explore the interconnections between biography (a slice of your life), history, the social institutions, society, and culture.
Instructions
