Open Discussion

If you would like to continue discussion from Kristin's Tues/Thurs class, feel free to post here. Please use your first name when posting, do not use your codeword. Please take care to address your classmates with respect (no "flaming"). I will not be monitoring the discussion on a regular basis. Enjoy! :)

WCBAST Instructions

At the top of each post you must list the following information:
1. Your Codeword
2. Title of the news article you choose (see suggestions below)
3. Author of the news article
4. Source of the news article
5. Date of the news article
6. Link (url) to the news article

Those six lines should be followed by your reflection from the perspective of the social theorist you choose from the list of options for each due date. A reflection is not a summary. Instead, what you are expected to do is to thoroughly read the news article of your choice and reflect on it from the perspective of one of the assigned Social Theorists. Note that your reflection may include a bit of summary, but it must not consist entirely of summarizing the article. Good reflections will analyze the issue discussed in the article from the perspective of one of the assigned Social Theorists; outstanding posts will even take the voice (write in the tone and style of) the Social Theorist. Reflections should be a minimum of one paragraph. They must be posted no later than 4pm on the due date below and the article you choose must have been published within two weeks of the due date. There are 10 points possible for each post.

#1 - W. 9/30 - Marx, Engels, Durkheim
#2 - W. 10/14 - Weber, Gilman, Dubois, Cooper, James, Cooley, Mead
#3 - W. 10/21 - Popper, Parsons
#4 - W. 11/13 - Mills, Habermas
#5 - W. 11/18 - Berger & Luckman, Garfinkel, Goffman
