This is the 3rd part of the assignment. It wasnt due, until next Sunday, but the professor just sent out an email saying its due this Sunday!!
Here are the instructions and her suggestion
Instructions:
Essay: (14-16 pages, not including tables, figures, bibliography and appendixes) You will choose two to five central concepts representative of one of the important traditions within the field of social psychology that we have covered in this course (role theory) for your core assessment essay. The essay must include the following components:
Continuing the work you started with the Historical Issue Essay and the Critical Evaluation Essay, you will bring synthesize components 1-5 and complete component 6. This does not mean that you will cut and paste your paper together. Think of this paper like a puzzle, in the end all of the pieces must fit together to complete the final project.
Identify and summarize the major central assumptions, principles, and ideas in the tradition that you have chosen. Briefly describe them and their relations clearly and with detail. Discuss why you feel these to be important and useful.
Demonstrate your ability to analyze and critique those assumptions, principles, and any associated empirical findings. Your analysis will break apart these ideas and discuss how they work together as well as discussing the implications of the position, as a whole. Your critique will evaluate the worth or effectiveness of both the theory and methods developed and employed in the study or studies that develop the ideas.
Since these traditions have been around for a while, they have each developed subsequent literatures. You should find what recent social psychologists have done with your research tradition, both pro and con, and add to their discussions of these theoretical principles and empirical findings.
Assess how useful and accurate you feel these ideas to be today. Has the world changed in ways that invalidate their findings? If so, how and why? How can you adapt these ideas to be continually relevant? If not, why not? Explain your reasoning.
Identify a specific event or events either in your own life or in public discourse (or both). Briefly the event(s), including how you understood them before you attempted to apply these social psychological concepts. Critique your pre-existing notions. What are their strengths and weaknesses? Do you have any biases?
Generalize your new understanding of these events to the larger social context: to other people, other times, other locations, or other social positions. Discuss how successful you feel this generalization to be. What are its benefits and drawbacks? Why? Do these ideas allow you to put your specific event into some more general context or to relate it to other outcomes? How?
Your essay should focus on well-selected aspects of your chosen research tradition and clearly examine the links between theoretical concepts and real world applications. It should be carefully proofread and edited, conform to the applicable guidelines of APA format, and include all citations and references. Each point should be carefully explained with sociological concepts, explicitly justified with reason and empirical scientific evidence, and illustrated through specific real-world examples.
Suggestions
many times a resource can be used in several areas of a paper. I hope it is different and new information for the most part and not a cut and paste of the exact work you previously cited in another part of your paper? You can reword some statements, gearing the intent towards another element of the paper.
Please let me know if this can be done?! Thanks
