Assignment 2: Explanations – implications (Major essay)
In this assignment, there is an opportunity to apply the skills you have developed so far to the researching and writing of an extended essay.
The focus of the essay is to consider a topical social issue, and to ask the central question – why is this happening? To answer this, you will need to consider a range of sociological explanations.
The issues covered in the topics are in some sense a problem for society. Thus in your essay, we also want you to consider how your explanations might be used as a basis for thinking about appropriate remedies, policies, changes to practice etc.
In this way, you are being asked to think about how sociology as a discipline can be used to effect change in the world, and ultimately to bring about some betterment of society, and of people’s experiences of life.
