The goal of this project is to show, visually and in writing, that you have developed a sociological perspective. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate that you can: For this project you will take photos from your everyday life and explain them using a sociological lens. You get to choose which sociological concepts you wish to cover from the assigned chapters (listed below). Consider what you have been reading about in your textbook, and what we have been discussing in class. More sophisticated essays will include more than one concept. Look at the words that are in bold in your text. You will be submitting six photographs (total) in 2 separate submissions. See due dates at the end of these instructions and on the calendar. It is required that take the photographs and that they are (meaning you took the photos for this assignment). It is best if the photo is candid-that is, not staged. Also, you will get more out of the assignment if you don’t think about what you to photograph and how that will “fit” a conc
ept, but rather you will want to choose your concept and for ways to illustrate it creatively. You want to capture something that is happening in your world, right now, that illustrates the concept. Consider what is appropriate to photograph and demonstrate creativity. Ask permission if you take a picture of someone- this is if you take a photo of someone in a non-public setting. You will submit each image on the top half of the page and provide a written description beneath the photo (1-2 paragraphs). Your descriptions must be clear and concise, and address the following: Remember our Social Location is the place in society that we occupy (in terms of social class, race/ethnicity, age, gender, religion, geographic area, etc.). Think about how those various elements affect your view of the world and in turn, this assignment. The textbook provides many examples of photographs to help illustrate appropriate photographs. I am not looking for professional photography. For example, taking a picture with your cell phone is fine.
