The assignment should be between 5 to 7 typed pages double spaced (Times New Roman, 12 Font). You need to cite 5 academic articles (2 can be from class readings the other 3 should be sources that you find in relation to your topic). Use APA formatting. Ensure that your writing is clear so as not to compromise the value of what you are trying to say. Further, be sure and cite all sources that are not your own, both in text and on the reference page. Evaluation: You will be evaluated on the overall clarity and flow of the paper. The quality of writing. The content and depth of the sociological analysis. Your use of an intersectional analysis. The strength and accuracy of the connections between the sociological concepts/theories you use and your topic. How effectively you use the literature to support your points. Tips for Writing the Critical Reflection Please note that the following are questions to provoke some reflections about inequality and get your assignment going. You do not need to explicitly answer each of these questions in your assignment (not all of these questions will even be applicable depending on what you choose to analyze). – How does power intersect with this topic? – Who benefits from the ways in which this context is set up? – Who is disadvantaged by the ways in which this context is set up? – Who is included (real or imagined)? – Who is excluded (real or imagined)? – How does this relate to social constructionism? – Are there processes of socialization related to this topic? How does this relate to processes of production, reproduction, and distribution? – Which sociological theory or theories best explain the portion of this topic you are focusing on? – What are the cultural implications embedded in this topic? – Think about this topic in relation to readings and discussions from the class. Be sure that the majority of your paper is about the analysis instead of descriptions about the topic make use of concepts and theories to make your points so that it reads like analysis and not simply an opinion paper. ensure that you explain the connection that you are making between your topic and sociological concepts/theories and nog just state the connection but also explain it. remember to write with purpose
