Critical assignment

The purpose of this personal reflection is to help students identify and start to unlearn the biases, stereotypes and/or oppressive assumptions they have about substance use and “addiction.”
Students will share two biases, stereotypes and/or oppressive assumptions that they have about specific drugs, people who use drugs and/or the complicated concept of “addiction.” They will explain these in their own words and discuss how they might negatively impact service users.

Next, students will reflect on where they learned these biases, stereotypes, or oppressive assumptions, using the tools gained in The Sociology of Power, Privilege, and Identity. Please note that while students are welcome to share personal lived experiences, this is not required; students can successfully complete this assignment by looking at how they were socialized through cultural (e.g., the media, the educational system, etc.) rather than individual sources (e.g., their families or lived experiences). Regardless, students must identify how intersecting forms of social oppression (colonialism, capitalism, white supremacy, heteropatriarchy an/or ableism) contributed to the development of these biases and reflect on their personal social locations.
Finally, students will name one of these two biases that they would like to challenge and change this semester, explaining why they have chosen that bias, and the steps they will take to outgrow it. These steps must include specific ideas for what students can do in addition to basic class work.

*This assignment can be done using a standard essay format (3 – 4 pages, in full sentences and paragraphs, no references required unless something is specifically cited) or as an oral presentation recorded as an audio or video file. Students interested in using another format (e.g. song, poem, etc.) must discuss this with their professor to determine appropriate adjustments to the rubric.

CASE STUDY

Watch the video with the link provided below and respond according.

Respond to the following questions thoroughly in a 350-word minimum essay. Your response must be submitted using 12-point times new roman font double-spaced.

C. Wright Mills argues that personal troubles can be understood in terms of large-scale patterns that extend beyond individual experience and are part of society and history. The video uses examples of unemployment and obesity. Identify other personal trouble that has social factors that contribute to it. In short, illustrate how a seemingly personal issue is actually a societal one. Look for macro-level trends in society.

Mills identifies the central task of sociology to be grasping the relationships between history and biography. To do this, identify two large-scale historical events that you think have most shaped your biography. Thoroughly explain their influence in your life. Now think of your parents or grandparents, how would their answers be different? What does this tell you about how sociologists think about the relationship between individuals and society? (A large-scale historical event would not include your parents’ divorce or the death of a loved one. Think of an event that impacted the entire society.)
