Sociological Imagination

    You will apply the Sociological Imagination to your own life.  Use the definitions/discussion of the Sociological Imagination from class notes. You will provide a brief autobiography and analyze how it has been impacted/intersects with the society and time period in which you have lived.

    Write a paper.  It should be approximately three to five pages, double-spaced, 11 font.  Your assignment will be graded as follows:

                  your paper! (5 points)

          C)    Introduction: Explain what you are going to write about.  An introduction introduces what

            youíre going to write about in your paper.  When I read your introduction, I should know what

            elements I will find in the balance of your paper.  This will include an indication you are going to

            give a brief biography of your life, discuss the society and the historical time period in which

            youíve lived, and how these three are connected. (6 points)

            affiliation, your religious affiliation, your social class/economic position, your racial/ethnic

            identification, your sexual orientation, your sex, your gender.  Note: sex is biological (male,

            events have combined to influence who you are?  What impacts have they had in shaping your

            world view?  Use your Sociological Imagination, THINK, and make a case!!!!!!! (25 points)
