sociological portrait.
For your final paper you will construct a sociological portrait. A sociological portrait is a depiction, a description, a profile, or vignette of how race, class, gender and other cultural factors such as religion interact in an individual’s life to form her/his identity and behavior. The goal of the sociological portrait is to describe yourself using the sociological imagination. In other words, describe yourself sociologically. Focus should be on aspects of socialization, culture, social hierarchies, status and roles, groups, social class, gender, race and ethnicity, and the social institutions (such as work, family, education). Make sure you are “connecting the sociological dots.”
