So I need you to write 250-350 words about the topic. my topic is about immigration. he said For this assignment, you will be proposing your research paper topic. Please choose a topic that is relevant to a modern American history, focusing specifically on a theme, person, event, between 1865-present day. After you have decided on a topic, I want you to think of what kind of sources you will use to write this paper. You will need a minimum of three primary and three secondary sources (six sources total). If you are uncertain about what a primary or secondary source is, please watch the YouTube link below for a brief explanation on what they are. For this assignment, please think of hypothetical sources you think would be relevant for your paper. For example, if you decide to write about the Haitian Revolution during the early 19th Century, what kind of sources would you consider? Give me a clear idea of what your paper will be about, what you hope to uncover or answer as you write it, and possibly what kind of sources and evidence you will be using and working with.

Introduction to Sociology

Things I Should Have Said – Challenging Social Inequality

Often times in our daily lives we encounter situations in which we observe (and sometimes even take part in) social inequality. In class you will view a short video titled “Things I Should Have Said,” which depicts such a situation. After viewing this video, you should reflect on a situation in your own life in which you encountered social inequality, and in hindsight what you wished you had said or done differently. Then make your own video, similar to the video shown in class. Your video can be no more than 5 minutes long.

Here is a link to the video if you want to watch it again:

Your video should have these four elements:

Depict a situation in which you witnessed social inequality enacted (either through a re-creation like the one shown in the film, through photographs, through narration only, or whatever means you choose).

Include a sociological explanation of how the situation constituted social inequality, and not just a personal trouble.

Include an explanation of why you responded in the way that you did

Either what you think, in hindsight, would have been a more effective response to the situation, or why you think successfully challenging the situation on an individual level would not have been effective.

You will be graded based on the following criteria:

Explaining social inequality: 25 points

Explaining why the situation was an example of social inequality, and not just an unfortunate incident or an example of someone being mean.

Should use at least two (but ideally three) concepts from the textbook, lecture, or recitation materials.

Identifying sociological mechanisms for maintaining inequality: 20 points

Explaining sociological dynamics that “normalize” inequality and/or keep people from challenging inequality

Should use at least one (but ideally two) concepts from the textbook, lecture, or recitation materials.

Analyzing possibilities from a sociological perspective: 15 points

Identifying what you could have done differently, why you think it would not be possible to do things differently to effectively challenge the situation

Should include ideas on the relationship of agency to structure
