SOCI 1125, Autumn 2023 Theory Application Writing Workshop and Essay Outline A. Some basics before getting started… While you will be developing your own essay and argument in this assignment, there are a few boundaries by which you are confined, and these include the topic for discussion and theories for application. Just so we are all on the same page, discuss the following questions with your group members. What is the main issue discussed in the news article? Homelessness, housing, how the police force deals with it. How marginalization affects the homeless population. ______________________ Why is this issue considered a “social problem” and not a “personal problem?” It affects so many Canadians it cannot be looked at on a personal level but instead a social one. When many people have the same/similar reasons for being homeless. In the article it is stated that we can’t undermine the affects mental health has on our population. Alongside that this illusion that shelter is available to all doesn’t actually exist and instead the homeless population is met with long unattainable waitlists. B. Applying Theory and Gathering Supporting Evidence In this essay assignment, your evidence is contained in the assigned news article. Write down at least two assumptions and three key words or concepts for each theory. Find a sentence or phrase from the article that either directly or indirectly serves as an example of the theory’s assumptions, key words, or concepts. Once you have two quotes each for at least two different theories, you can move on to Part C.
