List of Appropriate Paper Topics for Social Theory

 

 

I would highly suggest that you first find an introduction to sociology textbook (if you didn't keep your introduction to sociology textbook you may be able to find one in the library or in the sociology lounge) and look up your chosen topic to get a feel for how each of the three paradigms would approach/explain your topic. 

 

  1. Crime (if you choose this topic, do not include deviance)
  2. Deviance (if you choose this topic, do not include crime)
  3. Religion
  4. Mass Media/Popular Culture
  5. Sport
  6. The Family/Marriage
  7. The Education System
  8. Social Class Stratification
  9. Gender Stratification
  10. Race and Ethnic Relations
  11. Health and Medicine
