Section I: Introduction
Identify movie. Give a brief description of plot and describe main characters.
Section II: Analysis
Choose twenty concepts that are demonstrated in the movie. Define each concept in your own words. Provide a detailed explanation of how each concept is illustrated. Use this listing format:
1. concept: a-definition…
b-illustration…
2. concept: a-definition…
. b-illustration…
.
.
20. concept a-definition
b-illustration
(For example: If you were to watch Disney’s classic film, Sleeping Beauty, a concept that can be observed is “ascribed status”. Definition: Ascribed status is a position that one occupies within the social structure that one has little or no control over, often assigned at birth. Illustration: The Prince was born into the royal family and had no control over which family he was born into.)
Section III: Reflection
Discuss the relevance of this exercise as it relates to “thinking sociologically”. Does the movie appear different when viewed this way? Discuss the most interesting thing you have learned this semester. (Minimum 250 words)
