2. What did you do for this assignment? (Must be 45 words or more with a separate word count (there will be a 10 point deduction each time there is not a word count or if the word count is less than 45 words).
a. Example 1: If one of the themes was deviance, you might decide to walk through a drive-through (although I don’t recommend this, it could be dangerous); wear your clothes backwards one day; go to a McDonald’s and order a Whopper®; get into a crowded elevator, turn around to face people, and then start dancing, singing, or giving a speech; put together a small flash mob in the lobby of the campus and dance or sing, etc.
b. Example 2: If one of the themes was the family, you might decide to interview members of your own family about how they met, the perceived strength of their relationships, etc. You could interview people from different countries, diverse religions, diverse races, ethnicities, or sexual orientation and ask about attitudes toward marriage, the family, and toward same-sex marriage.
c. Example 3: For WA1, you might find a way to “indicate” the strength of the theory of the social creation of reality.
i. Think about how reality is “created” in social contexts
1. Do something publically to show the social creation of reality a.
For Example: Sit on the floor in the middle of a hallway on campus and start crying loudly; smile broadly at everyone you see on campus both in and between classes; go outside on a sunny day when there are a large number of students hanging around between classes, look up at the sky, and scream “Oh My GOD! The sun is on fire!” Introduce yourself to twenty or more strangers on campus.

In general for DS3 this is exactly the format you should follow:
Choose 3 of the above Major Themes (or find your own in the readings): I am going to choose The Social Construction of Reality (I am using only one theory for this example, you must use three.) It’s ONE study that can be explained or examined using THREE different themes/theories/perspectives.
The social construction of reality tells us that what is “real” depends on the sociocultural environment in which we live; the country, the city, our education, our religion, etc. I happen to think that this theory is very odd because I don’t see how things can be real in one place and not real somewhere else. I have decided that I’m going to do something kind of weird. I am going to walk up to several strangers, 10 maybe, who all look different from me, black people, women with scarves on their heads, Latinos, people I think might be gay, and I am going to ask all of them a series of questions.fr
Hello, I am taking a survey for my sociology class and I’d like to ask you some questions. Will you help me? It won’t take long and you don’t have to respond if you feel uncomfortable with any questions.
Where were you born?
If you were not born in the US, how long have you been here?
What is your highest level of education?
What is your religion?
What race or ethnicity do you say you are?
Are you straight, bisexual, or gay?
How old are you?
What do think about public displays of affection? Holding hands, kissing, sitting on someone’s lap, hugging? (Word Count=226) (There will be a 10 point deduction each time there is not a word count or if the word count is less than 45 words.)
My expectations are that most people will not answer questions D, E, F, and G. I think those questions are very private and personal and that most people who were born outside the US would not answer them and most people in the US would answer them because the US is a very open society. I also expect that most people who were born in the US would think that public displays of affection are fine, and most people born out of the United States would not. (Word Count=88) (There will be a 10 point deduction each time there is not a word count or if the word count is less than 45 words.)
My results were ___________________________________________________ . Thus, my expectations were met or not met. (Word Count)
This relates to the social construction of reality because_________________________. It also relates to _____ theory because_________________________. Furthermore, it relates to ______ theory _________________________.
I learned about how someone’s environment can be very important to their attitudes toward people touching each other in sexual ways in public. And ___________________. (Word Count=) (There will be a 10 point deduction each time there is not a word count or if the word count is less than 45 words.)
