Sociological Imagination
Sam Richards: A radical experiment in empathy
After watching the TED video and reading the section about the
Sociological Imagination, take the viewpoint of an outside
observer to examine your life.
First, pick one personal experience that was meaningful to
you.
Second, pick a viewpoint different from your own. It can
be another gender, race, nationality, or maybe someone from
a different subculture. Finally, write about the three points
listed below.
Write a 500 or more word paper discussing each assignment
point listed below.
1) Describe the personal experience as an outsider might
describe it. (hint: depending on what you choose and the
perspective you choose, this may require a little
research)
2) Describe how that experience was influenced by
society structures (e.g. historical events, religion, or
traditions)
3) Finally review the four main perspectives and theorists
related to those perspectives. What theory most applies
to the personal experience you described and why do you
think this theory applies?
Your paper must include a title sheet and at least 2
outside references. You may use one reference from the
internet but the 2nd reference must be from the
Grantham University online library. Only the body of the
paper will count in your word requirement.
To help you begin your first paper, I have given you an
example of a personal experience, the structure that helped to
shape this event, and the theory that I would apply to it.
Although what is listed below is an outline, I would like you to
write in paragraph form.
Example:
Personal experience: wedding
Viewpoint: perspective of a person from the subcontinent India
1) Description: Wedding itself was short, crowd was
small, took place outside of hometown, and the bride
wore white
2) Social Structure: institution of marriage, marriage
laws, and religious traditions
3) What theory: functionalism Why this theory:
functionalism supports social structure that is functional
for society and marriage is functional for families and
households
