1. Please summarize the worst-case as described in the Washington Post article by H. Dreier. Make sure to include the parts which turned this event into the worst-case without rewriting the whole article. 2. How would a conflict theorist or a symbolic interactionist explain and interpret what happened and what were possible causes of the events of the day. First present the theory shortly, and what such a person would look for. The, connect what the theorist would say to three different dimensions (topics), each explained in a separate textbook chapter (chapter 1 and 3 do not count as topics). Use statistical data in form of a graph, table or chart to support a conflict or symbolic interaction theorists point of view. 3. The author Dreier chose as headline The Worst-Case Scenario. Do you think this was really the worst-case scenario? What makes you think yes/no/it depends Please explain your answer. make sure that your answer connects and refers to three different dimensions covered in three different textbook chapters (chapter 1 and 3 cannot be used as topics). Show me that you understand the view point of either conflict theory or symbolic interactionism with respect to the case at hand and its dimensions. use at least two additional outside sources besides the textbook and the article of Dreier (all belong in a bibliography). back up your argument with visual statistical data (that means I am looking for at least two charts, diagrams or tables yes: the two charts could be your outside sources). Do not use numbers without a diagram, chart or table (I want a graphic). use your own words. Explain (define) the meaning of key terms. include a bibliography containing all your outside sources. Give me the name of the author/organization, year, title, html-string, date of access. If you only give me the URL I will deduct points. What am I looking for while grading: – formal: word count?, length?, complete bibliography?, 2 outside sources, 2 graphs with proper source given in the text (not just at the end) ? – summary? (no retelling, most important facts without quotes) (lower priority) – general knowledge of conflict theory or symbolic interactionism (pick one)? (high priority) – 3 dimensions: elaborated, and each explained from a conflict theoretical or symbolic interactionism point of view? (highest priority) – graphs: used in argument, explained? (middle priority) – why was the event qualified as worst-case scenario? (lower priority) Avoid extensive, long quotes or strings of quotes (I will deduct points for strings of quotes! Use your words! A quote should not be the answer, it should only highlight or strengthen your point). plagiarism, thus: quote properly (do not forget the bibliography). cooperation that violates academic integrity. To write all 6 required parts: summary, basic explanation of symbolic interactionism, three dimensions and theory applied, and part no. 3 – you need at least 1100 words. Add a word count. Only PDF format allowed. Use double space, 12 pt. Please use the APA style for your bibliography. You do not need a cover page, nor an abstract or an annotated bibliography. No upper word limit.
