I’m studying for my Sociology class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

hey there this is my sociology assignment.

Instructions:

assignment is to propose a sociological research question and then to propose what theoretical perspective and methodology you would use to study it. The question should be driven by your interests and inspired by our readings and/or discussions of a particular sociological issue. Your proposal should make a case for a) why this question is of interest or significance to sociologists, and b) how you will use a particular theory and a particular method (as described in the text and expanded on in class) to research the question.

Note that research proposals normally require a more thorough literature review than is required for this assignment, i.e., the researcher shows how his proposed research contributes to existing types of knowledge about the subject matter. For this particular assignment, you are being asked to find and cite one academic source from outside of class. HINT: “follow the trail” of sociological knowledge by looking for a relevant article referenced in the class textbook.

Be careful! Do not pose a question that is already mostly answered in the text; do not pose a question that is too big or abstract to be tackled in one research project; and do not pose a question that cannot be (at least partially) answered through evidence-based research. Your assignment should be about 400 to 500 words in length. This assignment will be worth 20% of your total class grade.
