Write, for a general audience, a long-form magazine article that explains how one of our classical theorist’s ideas can help us understand something important about an issue or dispute in contemporary American society: for instance, a social trend, a recent notable event or controversy, or a longstanding social problem.
In your paper you should find a few editorials on your topic to get a sense of the boundaries of the “public conversation” around your topic. You should also consult recent sociological research on your topic. Your job, then, becomes to help the “public conversation” attain some nuance, using sociological concepts that you will…
1) Explain the meaning and origin of the term
2) Situate within a broader theoretical understanding of society
3) Bring into the present and apply to your chosen topic, showing how the concept helps you make sense of the event, and the data you are bringing into the conversation.
As you write, imagine that your audience is ignorant of both sociological theory and the phenomenon you are discussing, so you will need to briefly and describe introduce both.
