Q How to complete this assignment: Select 4 of the questions below. Select an act of deviance that you see happening in the world today. Which of the theories we studied do you think would best explain this act of deviance? Why? Select an act of deviance from a TV show or movie and use one of the theories we have studied to explain why the character you are analyzing was deviant. Which one of the theories we studied this semester did you find the most compelling? Why? Which one was the least persuasive? Why? For all of the theories we studied, what makes them sociological? What things do they have in common with one another? Select one of the theories we have studied in this course. Outline its strengths and its weaknesses. Find an op-ed that seeks to explain why deviance occurs. Describe which of the theories we have studied is being utilized in that op-ed (whether then author names it or not). Select the theory you had the most difficult time understanding. Commit to researching it more and do you best to explain it in your own words as thoroughly as possible. Then reflect on what you know now and what you still don't understand about it. For one of the theories we studied, select a song that you think embodies the ideas from that theory. Write about why you chose that song and how it symbolizes that theory you chose. For each question, please write a 2-3 paragraph response that is at least 250-400 words long. In each response, I am looking for you to do the following things: For whichever theory or theories you discuss, are you accurate in your discussion of it? Is it clear to me that you understand it correctly? Are you able to name and accurately employ the different concepts for each major theory (i.e. the specific propositions for Differential Association or types of adaptation for anomie)? Are your arguments or statements fully explained? Does each statement have at least 2-3 sentences that explain why you feel that way? If you choose to use examples to support your argument, are they fully explained?
