Why it is important to study social theory
Many students come into a social theory course with one question, “Why do I have to take this class? Aren’t these just a bunch of old, very dead white guys?” You have now read three of the most important theorists in Sociology. Provide four separate arguments as to why it is important to study social theory. Make sure to fully develop your arguments and provide multiple examples for each argument. Remember, you should provide evidence for your argument. This question may seem like the most straight forward; however, I will be critiquing this question on your ability to create a solid evidence based argument. Be sure to look at the blackboard site and review the material on making an evidence based argument to understand what we mean as evidence in an academic paper. Further, look at the piece on critical thinking to help shape your thinking regarding this assignment.
