“My Sociological Life” Application and Analysis Paper
For this paper assignment you will be demonstrating your understanding of terms, concepts, theories, data, and
topics/themes presented throughout the semester from the class lectures and the textbook. You will accomplish
this by analyzing, applying, and synthesizing (Bloom’s Taxonomy) the information covered throughout the
course to YOUR life from a sociological perspective. You do not need to include the term “Bloom’s
Taxonomy” in your paper, rather this is the model you will use. Your grade will be based on your use of
Bloom’s Taxonomy, ability to thoroughly describe, explain, and predict the examples you present,
incorporation of the three main social theories (functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism), and
adherence to all paper instructions. Please remember to underline or bold all applications (terms, concepts,
data, and theories).
The specific requirements and paper content objectives for the assignment are listed below. Please note that
this is NOT a life story about you, but rather a chance to apply, analyze, and synthesize various topics we have
discussed throughout the course to your life- a socioautobiography.
