    ASSESSMENT: Sociological Imagination Discussion

    Please Watch

    This little video is super low tech but very informative. Because the sociological imagination is so important, and such a core piece of sociology, it’s imperative that you fully understand it. So, please watch the video and then participate in the discussion.
    Please Read
    For the stories about addiction, please visit the PBS Heroin and Opioid Addiction, In their own words Webpage.Links to an external site.
    Directions
    Using the sociological imagination, answer the following questions (writing between 250 and 300 words total). Consider that if we begin to see the impact of society has on all of us, even our most personal choice, we can understand how the sociological imagination works.
    What made one (or more) of these individuals begin taking drugs?
    Using the sociological imagination, explain how this person’s drug use connects to larger social and historical forces. While their story may feel deeply personal, identify the social conditions, historical events, economic circumstances, or institutional factors that shaped their path to drug use. What was happening in societybeyond their individual control or personalitythat made drug use more likely or accessible for them?
    For example:
    A social condition: Poverty or chronic stress
    A historical event: The Vietnam War (soldiers exposed to heroin, returning with PTSD and limited treatment options)
    An economic circumstance: Chronic unemployment or underemployment in a region
    An institutional factor: Mass incarceration policies that expose people to drug markets in prison
    You may need to read a few examples to find individuals who clearly address one or more of these conditions (social, historical, economic, institutional). No one wakes up and just decides to start taking drugs. There are reasons (often beyond their control) that lead them down that path.
    3. After posting your essay, please respond to at least two other students. Elaborate on their posts and end your responses with a thoughtful question.
    To earn full points for this assignment:
    Demonstrate an outstanding understanding of the sociological imagination .
    Use specific vocabulary from the stories and from the talk.
    Have fewer than five (5) spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
    Write between 250 and 300 words.

  • Module 2 Discussion 1

    Each student must post, at minimum, one substantial thread (1-2 paragraphs) and two follow-up threads (several sentences). Of course you may participate as much as you wish. To post the one substantial thread, which answers the discussion questions, click on “Reply” which directly follows the questions. To post a reply to another student, click on “Reply” at the bottom of that student’s post. Also, be sure to post early in the unit, as this leads to more vigorous and interactive discussion. Failure to post during the first week of the Module will result in a 25 point loss. If all posts are made within the last 3 days of the Module, 50 points will be deducted. Posting only once or twice will result in a 75 point loss. Failure to make any posts receives a zero. I do want discussion and not just a series of unrelated postings, so please respond to each other in meaningful ways. Factual information within posts must be referenced using APA format. The required text and lecture notes should be your primary source of information for referencing. You may also use valid online sources as references, however, if the information from these alternate sources conflicts with course material, points will be lost. Course material is the final authoritative source. Additionally, each reference must be specific so that the source of the information may be reviewed. If a general reference is provided, points will be deducted. It is strongly suggested that you review the Discussion Grading Rubric prior to participating in discussions. The rubric may be found in the MY Grades link, on the left side of the screen, under the heading for each Module. As a reminder, you should also review the Assignment Rubrics, which are found on the Assignment submission page, prior to submitting assignments. Please address the 2 questions following the Case Study for discussion: CASE STUDY A routine mammogram showed a large mass in the right breast of Mrs. H., age 42. A biopsy confirmed the presence of a malignant tumor. Mrs. H. was concerned because her mother and an aunt had breast cancer. No metastases were detected at this time. A mastectomy was performed and a number of axillary and mediastinal lymph nodes were removed. Pathologic examination showed several nodes from each area contained malignant cells. Given this case was considered to be stage III, it was recommended that Mrs. H. have chemotherapy and radiation treatment following surgery and later have her ovaries removed to reduce her estrogen levels. Discussion Questions Other than the biopsy used in this case, discuss what other diagnostic tests could have been used to diagnose the cancer. Discuss the reasons why the axillary lymph nodes were removed and it was recommended that the patient continue with prognosis.

  • Film Adaptation Review

    Overview

    Kazuo Ishiguros novels are often described as subtle, restrained, and deeply concerned with memory, identity, repression, and moral responsibility. Several of his works have been adapted for film, most notably The Remains of the Day (1993), Never Let Me Go (2010), and An Artist of the Floating World (2019). In this assignment, you will write a critical essay evaluating how a film adaptation translates the themes, ideas, and tone of one of Ishiguros novels into an audiovisual medium.

    You are not expected to have prior training in film studies or to use extensive technical film terminology. Instead, your focus should be on interpretation: how the film conveys (or alters) the novels emotional impact, thematic concerns, and narrative perspective through visual, auditory, and performance-based choices.

    Texts

    Choose one of the following pairings:

    • The Remains of the Day and its 1993 film adaptation (dir. James Ivory)
    • Never Let Me Go and its 2010 film adaptation (dir. Mark Romanek)
    • An Artist of the Floating World and its 2019 Japanese television film adaptation (dir. Kazuki Watanabe)
    • Note this film is in Japanese with English subtitles

    You should be familiar with both the novel and the film before writing your essay.

    Instructions

    In a well-organized, thesis-driven essay of approximately 1,000 words, evaluate the effectiveness of the film adaptation. Your essay should address the following guiding question:

    How does the film adaptation translate the themes, ideas, and tone of Ishiguros novel into an audiovisual form, and what is gained or lost in the process?

    You do not need to cover every aspect listed below, but your essay should thoughtfully engage with several of them:

    • Themes and Ideas: How does the film represent central themes such as memory, repression, duty, love, mortality, or ethical responsibility? Are any themes emphasized, muted, or transformed in the adaptation?
    • Narrative Perspective: Ishiguros novels often rely on first-person narration, unreliable memory, and interior reflection. How does the film handle the absence of a literary narrator? Does it use voiceover, visual cues, performance, or silence to convey interiority?
    • Tone and Mood: How would you describe the tone of the novel (e.g., restrained, melancholic, unsettling, quietly tragic)? How does the film create a similar or different tone through pacing, music, color, setting, or acting?
    • Characterization: Do the films performances align with your interpretation of the characters in the novel? How do actors expressions, gestures, and interactions convey emotional restraint or suppressed feeling?
    • Adaptation Choices: Are there significant changes to the plot, structure, or ending? How do these changes affect the novels meaning or emotional impact?

    Expectations

    Your essay should:

    • Present a clear and arguable thesis about the film adaptation
    • Use specific examples from both the novel and the film
    • Demonstrate careful reading and viewing
    • Be organized into coherent paragraphs with logical transitions
    • Be written in clear, formal academic prose

    You may refer to specific scenes, moments, or lines of dialogue, but you are not required to use outside sources. If you do use secondary criticism, cite it properly.

    Evaluation Criteria

    Your essay will be evaluated based on:

    • Strength and clarity of thesis (15 points)
    • Depth of analysis and engagement with themes and tone (25 points)
    • Effective use of textual and cinematic examples (25 points)
    • Organization and coherence (25 points)
    • Clarity and correctness of writing (10 points)

    Submission Guidelines

    • Approximately 1,000 words
    • Double-spaced, standard font and margins
    • Include your name, instructor name, course, and date at the top of the first page
    • MLA Citations failure to include in-text citations or a Works Cited page will incur a 10 point penalty
    • Submit via Online Delhi by 10 p.m. on Saturday, February 14

    Tip: Rather than judging whether the film is faithful in a surface-level way, focus on how well it captures (or reimagines) what feels most essential about Ishiguros work.
