UCI Tech Talk Blog Reflection
- Read a blog post on Contexts: Sociology for the Public
- Then, write a 1-2 page reflection on the blog. Include the following:
- Write a one paragraph summary of the blog topic (so I know the general theme)
- Connect the blog post to lecture materials i.e. Is the information consistent with what you’ve learned in class? How/how not? Identify the major theoretical perspective the author is writing from (Structural Functional, Conflict, or Symbolic Interactionist). What might a different theoretical perspective argue?
- Use your sociological imagination to apply the ideas to your own experiences. That is, tell me how the social pattern you’ve learned about is connected to your everyday life and offer a solution for change. Some questions you may consider (but don’t have to): Do you agree/disagree? Why? Do you have a similar or different experience? Who may be different? Why? Is there something the author did not consider that is important to the matter?
