can watch over and over again and can pause\/play throughout. A film on DVD or streaming
online (e.g. Netflix) is best. The film must be fictional; no documentaries allowed<\/p>\n
This is not a summary of the film but an analysis of the film using sociological concepts that we
have discussed and read about throughout the semester. <\/p>\n
The paper should be three pages in length, typed, single-spaced, and MLA format. <\/p>\n

1. In the introduction of your paper, include a brief synopsis of the film, and describe the
main characters, including their names. <\/p>\n

review the sociological imagination in the Ferris & Stein text when responding to this
question. <\/p>\n
3. Analyze the film using one of the following theories: structural functionalism, structural
strain, conflict, Marxist conflict, feminist, queer, symbolic interactionism, or dramaturgy<\/p>\n
4. Select two issues\/topics from class (key concepts from Ferris & Stein text). For each
topic address the following: <\/p>\n
a. How are these issues\/topics discussed or displayed in the movie?
b. How does the movie help you to understand these topics? <\/p>\n
5. How does who you are (your multiple identities, such as your roles, race\/ethnicity, social
class, gender, sexuality, etc. and your biases) affect your viewing of the movie? <\/p>\n
