Materials: All Lesson 1 Materials
Purpose:
As you read and review Lesson One and its readings, pay special
attention to the topic The Sociological Imagination. To make
sense of the world around us, C. Wright Mills explained that we
must develop a Sociological Imagination, the view that people's
behavior and attitudes are shaped by societal forces. In
order to examine and understand our social worlds, we must be aware
of Social Context and Social Location. This discussion will
help us use the Sociological Imagination to examine how personal
and social factors can influence a public issue.
Task:
Approximately 22% of high school freshmen fail to
graduate from high school on time. The U.S. ranks
22nd out of 27 developed countries in regard to high school
graduation rates. Imagine you would like to examine reasons
behind the high school dropout rate in the United States.
Discuss several factors that are important in determining
whether or not someone graduates from high school.
Discuss how a person's social location and other social
characteristics may be key factors in determining academic
achievement. How might your explanations differ based on whether
your analysis was on the micro or macro level?
Discuss how one of the three theoretical perspectives in Chapter
1 may best be used to explain the educational system in the United
States.
Incorporate course material into your post to support your
claims/arguments.
If you use a direct quote from course materials, please say
where you got it. You do not need to use a formal style. "Textbook,
chapter 3, page 4, or Online notes sociological theory page is
enough.
Proofread and edit your post for clarity and standard English
grammar.
Complete your post by the due date listed on the course
schedule.
Read your classmates' posts and engage with those that give you
new insights or intrigue you in some way.
Throughout the remainder of the lesson, be sure to check back
and respond to classmates who have engaged with your post or
replies to others.
This allows you and your peers to actually "discuss," to
exchange ideas back and forth, to explore the topic, to learn from
one another.
Remember, to earn full participation points, you must engage
with others in the discussion on at least three different days
during the lesson.
Including a question in replies is a great way to encourage
other students to engage in discussion.
