Construct three short paragraphs, one for each of the three theoretical paradigms. In each paragraph, describe the theoretical paradigm. Then discuss how the paradigm can be used to understand one of the following topics:
a. Retirement
b. Caregiving
c. Medically Assisted Dying
d. Elder Abuse
Note: Apply all three paradigms to the same topic. That is, how do structural functional, social conflict, and symbolic interaction paradigms explain retirement?
The assessment will be graded based on the following criteria:
- Describe the theoretical paradigm
- Describe how the paradigm views the social world
- Discuss the level of the analysis for each paradigm. That is, what is their view of the individual-society relationship (macro/micro)? What does this mean for how they explain the topic?
- Identify and define the core concepts each paradigm focuses on when explaining the social world.
Apply the theoretical paradigms to one of the four topics listed above
Apply the paradigm's view of the social world to the topic
- Be Careful to keep your application at the macro level for macro-level paradigms and at the micro level when applying micro-level paradigms
Apply important concepts to the topic for each paradigm.
