The final exam consists of two questions. Answer both questions in essay format.
1. Sociology focuses on how society shapes and molds individuals, but sometimes those individuals might not be aware of just how much they have been influenced by their society. Using materials from weeks 1-3 of this course, and material from your Westboro Baptist Church paper, discuss how sociology helps you better understand the person that you are as a member of your society.
2. Throughout this course, you have repeatedly encountered Structural-functionalism and Social-conflict theory. How does each perspective inform your understanding of how society works? Use materials from weeks 4-6 of the course and insights gained from your Westboro Baptist Church paper to answer this question.
