Sociology
A response essay must critically examine the assigned readings for 2 modules (2 weeks). Do not simply reflect on the readings, but also critically deconstruct and evaluate the authors’ larger arguments. You should interrogate the authors’ theses as well as provide in-depth analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of the authors’ arguments. You can also build on previous knowledge by making connections among the readings and/or connecting what you have learned in the readings to course material from other classes. In addition, you should examine your subjectivities in relation to your thoughts about the readings. For example, how do your race, class, gender, age, etc., impact the way that you evaluate the merits and deficiencies of the authors’ larger arguments. Your response essays should synthesize about 2 weeks worth of readings. This does not mean that you must discuss all readings read during the course of 2 weeks. It does mean, however, that you should discuss at least 4-5 readings read during the previous 2 weeks. You should discuss at least 2 readings from week 1 and 2 readings from week 2. Each response essay should be about 4 pages in length. Please cite course materials frequently (at least 3 citations per page) and include a works cited page. Please include in paper citations. This paper is about Urban Sociology & Media Response Essay.
All references that are required are attached. Again, please use in text citations.
