Study Proposal

Now that you have learned about sociological theory and research practices, it's your turn to think like a sociologist. Pretend you are a social researcher and that you want to answer a question about social life using sociological tools. Complete the following exercise:

1. Ask a question about the society that you think a sociologist could research. Explain why you think a sociologist might find it important to answer this question.

2. Identify one theoretical approach (refer to previous lesson/pp. 39-50) that you think would be appropriate for your study and justify your choice by explaining how you would connect it to your question and topic.

3. Identify one research method that you think would be appropriate for your study and justify your choice by explaining how you would use it to answer the question.

4. If you think that more than one theory and/or method is appropriate, make sure you thoroughly explain why each of your choices is relevant. Do not simply review theories and methods; you must directly justify their usefulness in your proposed study.

In short, pretend you're a sociologist and discuss how you think you'd use the tools you've learned about so far to answer a real question.
