Question 1: 14 pointsChoose two of the four theorists we discussed (Du Bois, Cooper, Simmel, and Mead):In your answer, be sure to discuss and interpret two main conceptual contributions of each theorist (so 4 in total)Remember to define concepts and give example(s) in your answer and interpret the example(s). That is, explain how your example specifically relates to the concept(s).For example, concepts for Du Bois include veil and double consciousness, for Cooper, this includes race and gender, for Simmel, this includes dyad, triad, stranger, or poor, and for Mead, me, I, game stage or play stage.Compare (what’s similar) and contrast (what’s different) their approaches to social interactionEnd with a discussion of one theorist you think is relevant to today – in your discussion remember to explain why and how using contemporary examples.Question 2 (Reflection): 10 pointsThis space is an opportunity for you to reflect on the class, including what you’ve learned, what you are taking away from it and/or whether, and if so, how we can apply classical theory to contemporary life.Your reflection may include what it is like learning in a global pandemic, in the midst of mass uprisings against anti-Black racism and threats to reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights, among others, though it does not need to. You may also choose to apply what you’ve learned, for example, by discussing what you think a given theorist would recommend on how to solve a particular social problem.Your reflection must include at least one theorist/concept, who they are/what it is, and an example (and interpretation of that example) that demonstrates what you learned.
