Sociology final reflection paper
PAPER: THE REMEMBRANCE PROJECT

You will write a 2-3 page reflection as the final for this course, thus, 20% of your grade in this course depends on the precision, depth, and creativity demonstrated in this paper. Having dived into the study of society and discussed differences across hundreds of variables, the time has come to think about the one variable which is incontrovertible across time and space death.

Every person who has ever lived has had to contend with the facts of existence and no fact is more immutable than all who live will eventually pass away. The existential angst induced by such realizations often follows on the heels of a close friend or loved one passing away. Of course, just because all people pass away doesnt mean they agree on what constitutes a life well lived. It is my hope that all of you will live a life that you can consider to be well-lived whatever that means to you personally.

Assignment 3: Social Change Research

Select 5 topics related to social change from the course. You will be writing a blog-post style essay for each of those 5 topics.

Guidelines:

Browse the "There's Research On That!" blog to get a sense of how TROT posts are written. They usually start with a summary of a current event, then provide sociological ideas relevant to the matter at the hand. The author highlights one to four key ideas from the research and includes citations for each source with hyperlinks to the authors' website and the publication information.
Choose 5 recent news events or pop culture trends related to social change to analyze. Ask yourself, "What would sociologists have to say about this that the rest of the media may be missing?" Make a list of a few possible themes to investigate each topic, such as the impact of social construction, institutions, or networks.
Search for literature (journal articles no more than five years old) on your them

    Please repeat the quantitative research question that you should have already come up with or have been working with so far. Briefly discuss those variables in that question and operationally define those. (i.e., when we operationally define a variable it is how we are going to measure that variable in our study.
