Introduction to Sociology - Sociological Concepts


Wiki Concepts Assignment

This ongoing assignment is a group effort. You will, as a group, find uses, definitions and/or conceptualizations for each of the concepts within the concept groups listed below. This assignment is meant as an exercise in research as well as a process through which you can get acquainted with a variety of sociological concepts that complement our course.

Based on the work already done by other students, your group will create a useful definition of one sixth of the terms in the list. What we are looking for is something like a wikipedia page. We should not expect to produce the same level of complexity as wikipedia, but we should expect to develop a definition backed up by references. A good example is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics . Think of this exercise as a way to engage deeply with sociological concepts and get to the marrow of some of these ideas.
