Describe the sociological concepts using their own words

Reflection Assignment Instructions:
Purpose:
This assignment has been created for you to reflect on the sociological concepts we have
discussed. This is your opportunity to connect course topics to current events, past experiences,
and/or things you may have seen in the mass media. This assignment is mainly an area to
allow you to connect what you have been studying in some kind of relevant manner to your own
life experiences.
Skills Learned:

Describe the sociological concepts using their own words

1. How to provide a formal citation.
2. Describe the sociological concepts using their own words.
3. How to compare the concepts—how the concepts are similar to each other.
4. How to contrast the concepts—how the concepts are different from each other.
5. Demonstrate how students’ chosen sociological concepts apply to their everyday
   life.
   Task:
6. You will be provided a list of paired sociological concepts, which are related to
   the course material.
7. Select one pair of concepts and provide formal definitions for both
   concepts. The formal definitions should come directly from an introduction to
   sociology textbook—I encourage you to use our textbook. You will need to cite
   the formal definitions—see example on how to cite below (please note Wikipedia
   is not an acceptable source).
8. Restate the definitions in your own words (make sure to underline the
   sociological concepts you are defining—see example below).
9. Explain how the pairs are related.
10. Explain how the pairs are different.
11. Choose one of the concepts from the pair and provide an example of this
    concept (make sure to underline the sociological concept you are providing an
    example for—see example below). You may pull your example from personal
    experiences, media (i.e. a movie clip, music, television, something you read
    outside of class), or create a case scenario of your own.
    Example of Assignment:
    Do Not Use this Example: The following is an example of this assignment: The
    sociological concept pair polygamy and monogamy
12. Polygamy: a form of marriage in which a person may have more than
    one spouse at a time. Monogamy: a form of marriage in which a person
    may have one spouse at a time. (Eglitis and Chambliss 2019: 317). (This is
    the formal definition of polygamy and monogamy—the definition comes
    directly from the required textbook for this course; your citations will be
    similar, but the pages numbers should be different).
13. Polygamy is when a person is allowed to have more than one spouse at the
    same time. There are different types of polygamy. There is polygyny where a
    man can have more than one wife. This type of polygamy is most common in
    parts of Africa, the Middle East, and parts of India. There is also polyandry
    where a woman can have more than one husband. Polyandry is extremely rare
    however, it does exist in Tibet. Monogamy is when a person is only allowed to
    be married to one person at a time. Typically, rules around marriage are based
    on the particular society and the culture within that society. (This is restating
    the definition of polygamy and monogamy in your own words).
14. The pairs are related due to the rules surrounding aspects of
    marriage. Polygamy and monogamy illustrate that the rules about marriage can
    vary depending on the culture, the history, and the social context of a society.
15. The pairs are different in that polygamy allows for persons to be married to
    more than one person at a time; while monogamy strictly enforces that persons
    can be married to only one person at a time. As explained in the textbook it is
    based on the culture of a society.
