Option 2: Gun Violence
– You must reference this article: https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/arms-control/gun-violence/
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) CHOOSE ONE TOPIC from the above options. Make a checklist of the requirements so that you can be sure to have a complete essay.
2) Make a FOCUSED ARGUMENT concerning one dimension of social inequality discussed in the article. Formulate a clear sociological argument, making sure to define key terms and concepts.
3) Use a minimum of 4 class readings to organize and support your argument. You must use readings from at least TWO different sections. (So, for example, if your argument is about racial inequality, your four course readings cannot ALL be from the race section. You will need to find a reading from at least one other section).
4) You may use ONE outside source (like a newspaper article, etc), but only ONE. Your essay should demonstrate a mastery of COURSE MATERIALS, so be sure to make them the center of your essay. Spend time developing your argument around the 4 class readings you’ve chosen.
5)Make sure to submit a works cited page in APA format. You must also provide appropriate in text citations for your work.
6) Submit your paper as a Word or PDF document. The submission link is in this “Final Exam” folder.
