Assessment - Essay

Purpose: The purpose of the major essay is to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of social theories and their concepts, and to critically apply them to a particular social behaviour or issue. The essay will be used to assess your ability to develop a critical argument based on sound logic, using social theories, concepts and associated evidence.

Instruction: This is an 1800-2000 word written essay, and it is the major assessment of this unit. The essay will address ONE of several questions (listed below). These questions relate to topics covered in weeks 5-10. You can choose the essay question which relates to the topic that interests you most. While the style of the paper is the student's choice, all papers must be grounded in content from this Unit and underscored by quality academic sources. Evidence of critical thinking is expected. Where relevant, positions can be taken; however, this should take the form of informed argumentation supported by sound logic and, where possible, relevant existing theory and empirical evidence.

Question 1. How can our knowledge of the psychological dimensions of self-esteem and identity help us to make sense of intergroup dynamics and conflict?
