Preparation:Prepare for this assignment by reviewing the readings and your notes up to this point in the term. This may include looking at the culture, socialization, social interaction, social groups/networks, social stratification, gender and race/ethnicity. ALL topics covered in this course are available to you but you should cover 3-5 in-depth. Follow all instructions before submitting your paper as I do not allow resubmissions after your work has been graded.NOTE: Due to COVID-19, you do not need to meet someone in person so you can conduct your interview over the phone, Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, etc., Instructions:Arrange an interview with someone who is a professional acquaintance (no family members or your best friend, please). This should be a 1-hour interview where you will ask the 8-10 questions you submitted in week 8 in anticipation of this assignment.The topic for your paper is sociological identity (remember this is not a psychology paper). This could be centered around one's identity concerning culture, socialization, social class, group identity, gender/sexuality, racial/ethnic identity, etc. It can certainly be a mix of all of those if you wish.Include all these components or points will be forfeited:
1. Pseudonym for your interviewee (do not use a real name)
2. Briefly describe the interview setting, including the date, time, city, and state (Sippin' Coffee on N. Main Street, Providence, RI in the middle of the busy lunch rush at 12:30 PM on Saturday, November 28)
3. Ascribed Statuses: (clearly list 3 of these)
4. Achieved Statuses: (clearly list 3 of these)
5. Analysis/Application of your 8-10 questions in essay form. DO NOT type word for word what is said, I'm not asking for a word for word transcript of the interview. Use sociology concepts throughout your writing to make connections to what your interviewee has stated during your time together. If I see a transcript, it's an automatic ZERO. Selected quotes are okay if they are relevant or important.
6. Reflection of interview (a paragraph or two at the end of your paper on YOUR thoughts - what you learned, what intrigued you about the interview)
You may record the interview (with permission)or jot down notes with a notepad. Immediately afterward, write up a fuller description and make connections to concepts and terms from the course. Conclude with your reflections on the interview: the interactions and dynamics between you and the person interviewed, your analysis of topics explored, any other observations you have. Approach your writing from a sociological point of view at all times. Include the questions you asked throughout your essay and make immediate connections to sociology. For full credit, you must be able to take what your interview subject said and apply it to key sociological terms and concepts you have learned in this class. Failure to do so results in a major points deduction.
- Example of a student's question and connection to course concepts: "Next, I asked John to tell me more about his Italian heritage and any examples of culture shock he experienced when he returned to the country he left as a young boy. He stated that at his cousin's home, he felt quite uneasy about the family leaving their doors unlocked as such a thing is unheard of back home in Providence. He went on to explain that in this small Italian village of 100 people, locking the door was considered rude. This would be a type of norm violation and frowned upon if the family is home. The expectation is that the doors are always left unlocked when a family is at home and people in the village are free to visit each other, as is tradition and part of their culture. John did go onto to mention that people do knock or ring the bell (a folkway norm) and do not just burst in, which would be considered quite rude. Still, John expressed he had difficulty with this idea but quickly grew used to it while there."
Format:
- The paper should be MINIMUM 4 full pages (and not more than 6 pages, please); double-spaced; 11-12-pt font; Margins: 1" (top, bottom, left, and right).
- You should use terminology learned in class and in the text and be sure to properly cite when appropriate. Please use your own words!
- Grammar and spelling ARE important. Please use the Review tools in Word or your word processing program to check spelling/grammar as points are deducted for mechanics.
- Please upload as a .docx or .pdf file only. Do not copy/paste into the submission text box - this will make your paper look weird and will not be in the format I'm looking for and you will lose points. If you are using Apple Pages you can export the file as a .docx or .pdf.
