rhetorical analysis pre-drafting activity.

Hello,

This is a link to Nguyens article.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ripping-children-from-parents-will-shatter-americas-soul/2018/05/18/21e824ce-59f1-11e8-8836-a4a123c359ab_story.html

Read the article and then work on the rhetorical analysis pre-drafting activity (worksheet).

I added all the instructions and the worksheet into the additional materials.

Thank you for your help :^)

Sociological Imagination

Please explain the concept of the sociological imagination and give two examples by applying the concept.

From my notes:
The Sociological Imagination
o    Sociology is the study of human society.
o    In the mid-twentieth century, sociologist C. Wright Mills argued that we need to use our sociological imagination to think critically about the social world around us.
o    The sociological imagination is the ability to connect one’s personal experiences to society at large and greater historical forces. Using our sociological imagination allows us to “make the familiar strange” or to question habits or customs that seem “natural” to us.

Does the use of social media increase depression among users?

The topic of the paper must be in question form and it must be approved by the instructor prior to starting, so I need to communicate with the writer frequently. (For example, the topic could be is there a relationship between socioeconomic status and the high school dropout rate?) I have some flexibility on topic as long as it relates back to a major theme/topic in psychology. I need 4-5 full body pages PLUS the title, abstract, and reference pages. The sources MUST be from 5 scholarly journals ONLY. The paper should answer the following questions: 1. An introduction of the topic (history, background) 2. What is the theoretical purpose of writing the topic chosen? 3. What are some interesting findings on your topic as a result of published scholarly studies? 4. What area and population has been impacted most by the research topic? 5. What other societal elements (laws, economy) contribute to such outcomes on your topic? 6. What theorist and their theoretical perspective in Psychology explains your research topic? (link those elements to your topic) 7. Concluding paragraph
