Paper Guidelines

Your paper should include the following headings (shown in bold).

I. Introduction to Topic

Clearly identify your topic

Discuss how the issue has impacted your life

II. Overcoming/Coping/Adapting

What have you done to overcome, adapt, or address the issue(s)?

III. Research

What does research say on the subject?

What have researchers found about how the issue has impacted people in our society?

What have researchers discovered about how our society has responded to such issues?

Use at least three sources to answer the questions above. One reference may be your textbook. The other sources should be scholarly articles. When in doubt, ask a librarian or me.

IV. Theory

Which sociological theory could you apply to your experiences? (Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, Symbolic Interactionism.) Use your book for guidance. For example, how did the chapter on gender socialization tie in theory?

Choose one of the three theories and relate it in some way to your topic. Use examples to further illustrate your understanding of the theory. Please sure to cite your textbook on the references page.

V. Website/Organization and Critique

Research various websites of non-profits, political, or educational organizations that address your topic with the idea/goal of reducing the problem on a societal level (for example, an organization created to promote gender equity/reducing the pay gap, or organizations to improve health and/or education access based on income inequality, or organizations that promote racial equality/tolerance).

Choose one website to research in-depth. Carefully explore the organization's website.

Describe what the organization does. What are its goals?

What is one way the organization could improve? What additional resources could they offer, or what new goals should they address? Be specific. Pretend you've been hired by the organization to improve upon what they do. (Include the link to the website in your paper.)

VI. Conclusion

Wrap up your ideas; include your final thoughts.

(Please go back and read your paper and check for any grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes.)
