A century ago, people reached sociological maturity (completed necessary formal education) in the early-mid teens before or as they reached physical maturity (ability to reproduce) in the late teens. Nowadays people are sexually mature at age 12 and it is another 10-12 years before they complete their education and are considered in a position to form families in ways that are sociologically or financially viable (post education completion). How do the changes in age of maturity in various components of our lives lead to new ideas around sexual activity? (Be sure to utilize information from our readings. Be sure to cite sources.

• Being confident about your write-up
I would like you to choose an event that has been covered in the news recently and do an analysis of the way it was covered in 4 different news outlets. In the spirit of what we’ve been doing all term, I would like you to find multiple narratives for the story you choose. Talk about how the issue is being presented from multiple perspectives. The news story can be anything you choose, but you must relate it to one or more of the sociological concepts we’ve been learning about this term. Stronger papers will relate the story to more than one sociological concept and integrate their analysis with their outlining of the narratives constructed about the event.
Your paper must be roughly 4-6 pages in length (double spaced, 12 point times new roman font, 1-1.25” margins) and include a description of the current event in detail, what news sources you chose to analyze, what those news sources are saying about it (Include as many disparate articles as possible from at least 4 different news outlets).
You must use concepts of media literacy to back up your analysis. Talk about the reasons that news outlets might have for constructing narratives differently. Refer to class discussion and/or outside sources from the library for your discussion of media literacy and critical reading of news.
You must also discuss how the coverage of the issue, and the issue itself, relate to the sociological concepts we’ve covered this term in class.
You will be graded on detail, structure, critical analysis, and connection to class material. The paper is worth 100 points, roughly 22% of your final grade.
You will be graded on:
1: The Level of detail and Thick Description (What were the articles saying? How were they saying things differently? What might the outlet’s political and economic motivations be for telling the story the way that they do?) (60 Points)
2: How you relate the event you’re discussing to specific concepts of media literacy and from any other concepts from class discussion and the readings/text/any other sources/articles you find. (30 Points)
3: Organization and quality of writing (10 Points)
PAPER FORMAT:
1 Introduction (Includes Thesis Statement)
2 Review of the literature (Media Literacy, critical reading of news, content analysis.)
3 Data (Talk about the articles you found. How do they construct the narrative of the event you chose? How are the narratives constructed differently across the 4 articles you’ve chosen to analyze?)
4 Analysis (Relate what you found to the media literacy theories you outlined. Relate the event itself to any of the sociological concepts from class that you find to be relevant.)
5 Conclusion (Wrap it up-Tie it together.)
Write a formal paper describing a different/unknown/foreign culture that you have researched. Use tools such as your oral history interview, participant observation and different kinds of comparative and reflexive analyses based on your and other known cultures.
This paper is 3-5 pages long, approximately 750-1500 words long, with standard formatting only (1.5-2 spacing, max. 1 in margins, max. 12 pt font, etc.).
This paper is designed to catalog and describe the people, spaces, norms, structures and other aspects of this culture to an outsider without intimate knowledge of the culture.
Write a short introduction that identifies themes you either planned to observe/study or that you ended up focusing on as a result of your experience. If you had to change the focus of your study explain what led you to change your goals/perspectives.
Focus your ethnography on two or three major themes/topics for the sake of clarity and focus.
Your ethnography should be structured around questions/topics that we have considered in our discussions of culture and ethnography in our class thus far. You may choose to focus on specific social structures, norms, childhood/family/kinship relations and experiences, socialization and education, class/power, race/ethnicity, sex/gender, general worldview and understanding of other cultures as well as any other interesting aspects of culture.
Plan to devote roughly equal space to the two or three major themes that you explore. That means 1-1.5 pages with some introduction and conclusion that wraps them all together.
You should identify a space or spaces where you conducted your studies. You should plan to spend a minimum of 1.5-3 hours on at least two different occasions in your study location(s) in order to get a large enough ‘sample’ of observations.
Your observations should be both as a spectator/observer and as a participant observer – make every effort to integrate yourself.
Ask questions: What behaviors are culturally specific? What are the short lists of norms and beliefs that define this culture/space/activity? What is considered “normal” vs. “abnormal”? Why? Does everyone behave the same way? Is there pattern or organization to who behaves how and why? How do you know? What if anything surprised you or caused you confusion or discomfort? Why? Was there something you could NOT access? Things that as an outsider you simply couldn’t understand no matter what?
Write reflexively about any challenges that you encountered, or about how your perspectives and biases changed how you experienced this culture (vs. how the members of this culture experience it).
What avenues for future study do you foresee?
What perspective and style/tone will you write with? What is your ‘story’ about? Who is your audience? Make it engaging and make it make sense. Proofread. Use citations where necessary/appropriate.
