Sociology 250

Part 3

Guidelines:

 

Option 1: Socioeconomic Status

Discuss the various factors that have enabled and/or helped you get to the point where you are attending college and consider how your life would be different if any one of those factors was not present.*

*If you are struggling to think of something, just remember that most students require loans, grants, and other forms of financial assistance to pay for college and would be unable to do so if they had to pay out of pocket.

Option 2: Religious and Political Affiliation+

Think about the characteristics that you use to develop your identity (political, religious, or otherwise) and discuss the significance of your achieved statuses with how you see your self and how you would like others to see you.

Answer in one paragraph (i.e., five to six sentences)
