Fellow citizens...
First, make sure you email me your powerpoint or Prezi as soon as possible if that was the option you chose for the mini-project.
Everyone's homework due Monday is to fill out the "Class Questionnaire" worksheet that you received in class, and to write a one-page journal (typed or handwritten, but hard-copy) answering the question, "How have you been socialized to think about wealth?"
At the end of the journal entry, use the "How to write a thesis" handout to write a thesis asserting whether, after writing the journal entry, you think you have been positively or negatively socialized in this way (interpret positive or negative as you like).
Hand the journal into your wall folder first thing Monday morning. You do not need to turn in the questionnaire.
Review: Today we reviewed our Functionalist and Conflict Theory notes, did an economic simulation, watched two videos on wealth and inequality in America:
Wealth Inequality in the US
Interview with a homeless American
These videos are not meant to advance a political view, simply to deliver some sociological date (video #1) and to remind us all that no matter someone's economic status, (rich or poor), they are first and foremost a human being and a fellow citizen, and should be spoken of as such.
Have a good weekend! See you all Monday :)
