The majority of your paper will focus on analyzing the social issue using one of the three primary sociological theories (functionalism, symbolic interactionism, or critical theory), appropriate sociological concepts and other forms of evidence (i.e. statistics & interview quotes from multiple media sources).

3. Thesis statement.*Please highlight your thesis statement.

How to get started? Three easy steps:

I suggest you start with your interests. Think about topics/modules/discussions that stood out to you. If you need inspiration, review modules and textbook chapters. Then, begin a Google search for current news articles, interviews, or podcasts. Make notes on the different perspectives and ideologies being put forth.

When you have settled on an issue, you should begin to think about what sociological concepts and theories you have learned that can help to explain the issue you are researching. Sociological concepts are found in your textbook and my lectures. Concepts help us to organize our thinking about abstract topics, and they allow us to think in terms of explanation. In this final step, thesis statements begin to emerge.

You are an Inspiration Essay Assignment: Competence + Caring + Character = Credibility

Overview: Given the post trust era, credibility is more important than ever. To be seen as a credible person people need to trust you. To establish yourself as trustworthy you need to demonstrate the three C’s described in your textbook: Competence, Caring and Character.

Directions: Your job now is to identify a single unique individual - a co-worker, boss, coach, pastor, teacher that served as an inspiration to you.

Choose a person that you observed over a period of time so you can offer specific examples of their behaviors and actions. I prefer that you do not use a close friend or family member for this activity.

Content of Essay:You are to type a CONCISE and well written 1-2 page single-spaced essay which describes specific behaviors. Choose behaviors that reflect positively on each of the three C’s: Competence, Caring and Character.

For example, you might choose a professor from the UWT and describe the level of competence as quite high and you would explain that through their understanding of the content of their course and ability to understand and explain the information. You would provide specific examples of how you knew that they were or were not competent.

Next you would examine the same person for the dimension of “caring”. Did this person demonstrate caring to you or to others? What behaviors did they show that led you to believe that they were or were not caring? Do they appear to be motivated to help you, or others?

Lastly, you will conduct the same type of analysis on the person’s “character”. What evidence do you have to suggest the level of character the person exhibits? Consider how honest or ethical their behaviors are. Are they forthcoming, open and transparent with their communication style? How do they handle confidentiality? Do they appear to be driven by personal values? Do they adhere to organizational values? Your values?
