Prejudice/Discrimination

(Pick any movie you want)

In order to see your growth as a sociologist, you will be required to turn in a movie analysis where you will be asked to watch a movie OR a documentary and analyze it with your Sociological Imagination.

This will give you an opportunity to chose a movie/documentary of your choice. I will provide you with some suggestions but I want you to pick something that is interesting to you.

The format should look like this:

Introduction (Bolded and Underlined)

In this section you will write an introduction to the assignment. You will provide a little bit of background on WHY you chose the movie/documentary that you watched. How does it relate to the course (which main topics) and what you will talking about in the rest of the paper.

1 paragraph

Summary (Bolded and Underlined)

In this section you will have the opportunity to summarize the movie as a whole. Try to paint a clear picture so that I can understand the movie without watching it. You do not have to go into much detail but I should get a clear picture that you watched the whole movie/documentary.

Approximately 1-2 paragraphs

Analysis (Bolded and Underlined)

This section of the paper will be where you connect the movie with terms/theories you have learned from the course. You should make a clear connection that shows me you understand how the material we are learning plays out in real social life. You should include at least 6 terms/theories and connect them with 6 examples from the movie/documentary.

Approximately 3-4 paragraphs

Conclusion (Bolded and Underlined)

This section to wrap up your paper. You can write a few sentences to restate why you chose this movie/documentary, the summary, and the connections you made. You should not include any new information I’m this section.

Approximately 1 paragraph
