For this ppt, the topic is going to be about Homelessness in Los Angeles.
This is a general outline for your presentation:
Slide 1:
–
Your title page should include: Your name, the class (Soc 01), and a title (ex: Marx’s
Conflict)
Slide 2:
–
Identify your social justice topic- discuss, elaborate, and provide background
information on it
o Here you should discuss what your topic is.
o Why it is important?
o Why you chose it?
–
I highly recommend using images, statistics, and or videos to help the audience
better understand this social justice issue and more importantly why society needs
to do something about it!
o For example, if you choose to discuss homelessness in Los Angeles, I will
expect you to discuss the influence Covid has had on it.
Slide 3:
Introduce and define your chosen school of thought
– Remember you are selecting from the following: 1) Structural Functionalism 2) Conflict
Theory or 3) Symbolic Interactionism
– Select one as it relates to your chosen topic:
– Introduce, discuss and explain: You should be defining all aspect of your paradigm,
meaning you should explain it to me as if I have never heard of it!
– For example, if you choose conflict theory, I will expect you to talk about: limited
resources, competition, class struggle and conflict.
Slide 4:
–
Discuss and define your chosen sociological theory
–
Your theory should relate to your school of thought
o For example, if you chose Goffman’s Dramaturgy, I will expect your SOT to be
symbolic interactionism (Or whatever you can make an argument for)
–
Remember, anytime you are discussing/introducing a theory you need to define it
fully and explain it as if I have never heard of it before.
o For example, if you chose conflict theory, I would expect your example to
discuss the bourgeoisie/proletariat dynamic or the dominant/subordinate
class.
–
You should be using your theory as a way to explain your chosen societal issue
(provide support for your solution by citing evidence form relevant academic and
peer reviewed readings (our class text, journal articles, books, and/or book chapters.
This will go on your works cited slide at the end).
Slide 5:
–
Introduce your potential solution for your chosen social justice issue.
o For example, if your chosen societal issue is homelessness, do not simply say
“I would give everyone $500.” Instead, I want you to think about how money
could be used to open shelters, provide resources to existing shelters, create
a new sustainable program or make houseless kits with necessities, etc.
–
Your example should apply all aspects of your theory
Slide 6:
Works cited- list any articles, books, websites, etc. that you used to gather information
for your presentation.
