Examine the theories of the self and interaction and think about your identity in a sociological manner. Is your identity deeper than your titles?

SOCIOLOGICAL APPLICATION AND ANALYSIS:

Using at least 3 articles that we covered in class, explain how these works have spurred you to think further about your identity in a sociological manner. What theories of the self and interaction are relevant to your experiences? Define and explain each of the concepts/theories before applying them to your empirical examples. (Emotion work, self-social construction, rule of denial).

REFLECTION AND LIMITATIONS:

Based on your sociological analysis, what does the application of these concepts and theories illustrate about the self and social reality? What might be some further issues of exploration and additional sociological questions?  Are there gaps in the analysis or issues left unexplained?

Write on one of these two class readings: Brief Account of the Devastation of the Indies by Bartholome de las Casas OR Requerimiento by Juan López de Palacios Rubios

In this analytical essay, you will analyze 1). the article’s content, 2). historical context, 3).the credentials of the author, 4). its symbolism in American culture and, finally, offer 5). a personal reflection on its broader themes. These 5 sections, together, will create an analytical essay in which you have presented properly contextualized understanding of the document and its production, along with a personal reflection upon it.

1). Article content: Provide a summary of the content of the document. Basically, this is your chance to show me that you understood the reading and can put it in your own words. For this part, citations/quotations should NOT be used, and instead, paraphrasing and rewording should be employed to show your depth of knowledge.

2). Historical context: Provide enough historical background to understand the document’s production appropriately. You should show that you understand where and when it was written, under what political circumstances it was written, and what it sought to accomplish. Other factors you may choose to explore include socioeconomic, racial, colonial, economic, and cultural factors. Your motivating question should be: how does this document help us understand the time in which it was written?

3). Credentials of the Author: Provide an overview of the author and consider their potential strengths and weaknesses. Some questions to engage include asking: who wrote it, and why was he/she an authority on the subject? Did they have special/insider knowledge? What was their personal background including perhaps education, political ties, etc? Was this a firsthand account based on personal experiences? Are they a reliable source?

4). Symbolism in American Culture: Provide an explanation of how this piece of writing helps us understand American (or colonial) culture at the time of it’s production. Does this document, in some way, tell us something about what the US or New Spain was like? Does it provide special insight? What does it reflect about who we are as a people/as a nation?

5). Personal reflection: Provide an explanation of your personal thoughts/feelings/opinions on the author or the writing or both. Did you like it? Did you find it helpful or persuasive? Did it make you think or feel differently about American (or Spanish) culture? Did it challenge your view of history? Did you like or not like it, and why? You don’t have to engage ALL of these, but these may help you start to arrive at some conclusions.

Watch the youtube video  ON THE STREETS – A feature documentary on homelessness in L.A. The video depicts a homeless outreach experience in Los Angeles. In an essay, answer the following:

1. What were your beliefs about the homeless before this experience?
2. Why did you select this activity? – no in person experience was available, therefore, this video was provided to us to watch and learn about homelessness. (can be reworded in a more scholarly manner)
3. What were your expectations of the activity?
4. What do you think causes or contributes to homelessness?
5. What was your learning after this experience?
6. How will this experience affect your nursing practice?
