This essay is not about writing your opinion on one of these statements, but on how you can use sociological tools of analysis to discuss/explain it. Use your textbook and at least 4 academic references (e.g. from your unit outline or from Google Scholar) to unpack your sociological argument. Make sure to explain in your introduction what you aim to achieve in your essay, and give your answer in the conclusion.
