Advocate for Social Change
Conduct internet research about a significant person who was, or is, an advocate against racial, ethnic, LGBTQ+, or gender inequality. Choose a person who has had an impact on promoting equality, whether through philanthropy, civil rights, teaching, or lifestyle.
Answer these questions in your discussion.
- Introduce the person. Discuss what led them to become an advocate.
- Discuss which of the sociological views (i.e., conflict, interactionism, or functionalism) help to explain the type of inequality being addressed by the advocate.
- Did their advocacy invoke a change and or influence others? Discuss why, or why not.
- What lessons do you believe we can take away from this person and apply today?
Make certain that your lessons include discussion about central equality issues today, including economic inequality and social mobility.
Conclude the study with your thoughts about how your subject's experience relates to the concept of the "American Dream", or a similar thought regarding social structures in the region where they are from.
