Introduction To Sociology

Select a current event from the newspaper, a recent magazine, an on-going court case, or the internet that involves an activity relating to social action (human behavior) and state the context of the event as well as the impact it has and conclusions that can be drawn.  In no more than two pages, provide the source for your story, a brief factual scenario, and then attempt to apply your knowledge of human behavior and the media. Note that this must be a factual scenario.  You may very well have to research the topic further since news stories tend to be provided in the form of sound bytes and thus leave out pertinent aspects upon which to make informed determinations about the incident under study.  If you can find no additional information, admit so and speculate as to what other information you would need so that you can make an assessment
