Im trying to study for my Social Science course and I need some help to understand this question.
Section 1
Purpose
This discussion activity provides you with the opportunity to discuss with your classmates what Sociology is and how it is used in everyday life, and your understanding of Peter Berger’s “Invitation to Sociology.” This classic piece of scholarly writing will introduce you to the discipline of sociology and what it is all about. You will learn what sociologists do and study, how they are perceived by others, and how sociology may be used in your everyday life.

Discussion Guideline
oAlways refer to the discussion grading rubric to make sure you meet the criteria.
oThe best thing to do is print out the article and make notes in the margin or on a separate piece of paper. Try to think about what you will gain in studying sociology and how you may use it in your everyday life as you make notes of interesting points.
2.Then share your thoughts with the class on the discussion board. In your initial post, please make sure to include the following:
oComplete sentences with proper grammar and spelling. DO NOT USE “i” please!

Section 3
Purpose
This assignment can deepen your understanding of the three main sociological theories and help you differentiate them.
Directions
Please make sure to follow the discussion guidelines found in Module 1.1 Discussion.
Part 1: Initial Post
Case study on medicalization. Understand how the same social issue can be explained three different ways.
2.Now that you have viewed the film on “Making Sense of Sociological Theory,” you are familiar with the three main sociological theories; structural-functionalism, conflict, and symbolic-interaction. You will want to also make sure you have done the assigned reading on sociological theory before attempting this discussion board. The film showed you three different ways to explain the medicalization of our society. Now, I would like for you to choose a social issue or problem and explain why it exists by using one of these three theories. For example, you may choose the rising rate of obesity among children and use the conflict perspective to explain it. Now that I used that example, you must choose another topic!
For ideas about social problems or issues, look at news headlines, magazines, media to get some ideas of socially relevant topics.
