SHORT ESSAY
Choose ONE from the four New York Times articles posted on the SmartSite under
“Resources—Articles for Essay 1”, your paper can focus on the whole article or some
parts of it. Analyze the article from ONE of the three theoretical perspectives (Marxist,
Weberian and functionalism) we covered in this class. Is the theoretical perspective
consistent with the reality toady in the U.S. as described in the New York Times
article?
Make sure that your essay has these components: (1) A synthesis of the relevant
theoretical argument—you only need to focus on the specific thesis relevant to your
analysis here; there is no need to summarize the entire perspective; (2) A summary of
the parts of the NYT article relevant to the theoretical perspective; and (3) Analyze the
article from the theoretical paradigm and point out consistencies and inconsistencies
between the two.
