@article{Cutler_2010, place={Washington DC: American Sociological Association.}, title={Introduction to Sociology}, url={https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/introduction-to-sociology-cutler}, abstractNote={For this paper, I would like you to select a feature story from a newspaper or magazine (e.g., Time, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Reports, Mother Jones, Ms., The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, etc.) on a topic that sociologists might study. The story can focus on a social problem (e.g., homelessness, poverty, racism, organized crime, domestic violence, hate crimes, etc.) or on a cultural trend (e.g., the growth in popularity of professional wrestling, increasing participation of women in professional sports, decreasing voter turnout in U.S. elections, growing interest in body piercing, etc.). The article must be an in-depth feature story that attempts to explain the cause(s) of the problem or trend. Then, write a 4 – 6 page paper using what you’ve learned in this course to critique the article from a sociological perspective.}, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Cutler, Marianne}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
