Part A.
Refer to the The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Major Social Theorists (Ritzer & Stepnisky, 2011), choose one of the social theorists discussed in this text. Provide an outline of this person, their background, and their contribution to sociological theory. Then,consider your life’s position to date: how has this shaped the social lens through which you view the world and your professional practice, discuss how your social lens compares and/or contrasts with one of the major sociological theories, does this comparison suggest alternative perspectives from which to view society? (you may wish to compare/contrast with the same theorist, or select another, one that compares well with, or opposes, your social lens).
Part B.
Select a current topic of National importance (Australian) from a Newspaper. In a formal essay ‘explain’ the topic from the perspective of two, or more, of the major sociological theories. Your approach should be to compare-contrast the explanation each sociological theory presents to the topic you are analysing. As an alternative, you may like to consider the issue from the perspective of one of the major sociological theories and compare this with your ‘Sociological imagination’ and/or your ‘social lens’ to provide discussion of the topic from your perspective as you view it from your experiences to date – how does your social lens compare with sociological theory?
