Research Question
Please answer the following two questions for your Expository-Explanatory Paper
1. What is the nature of micro sociology in terms of the self and identity formation?
2. And what is the nature of micro sociology in terms of the individual in reference to groups, structures, and ideas?
Hint: How is the self (the person) constructed? How does identity formation and personality development explain this process?
How do I write a paper like this one? To assist think of yourself as a social scientist who can understand the basic principles, theories, concepts, research methods and methodologies that reflect micro-sociological thinking, theory, and research.
Now, as a social scientist whose scholarly perspective derives from a Micro Systems–Clinical Sociological Approach that she or he uses to view and examine aspects of diverse sociocultural systems and humanity’s interactions, focus upon the diverse sociological concepts, ideas, and facts that are comparatively examined in order to better understand past and present human societies and cultures.
Remember that the exposure to a multiplicity of diverse arguments and research will challenge your personally protected worldviews and belief system(s) – remember that you cannot allow yourself to be offended.
Moreover, by examining societal diversity and change, one then is able to identify the location of the self and identity in a given society and community.
o For example, if you thought and wrote like a Clinical Sociologist, then you would investigate phenomena and people using a humanistic, multidisciplinary practice that first assesses-evaluates, then attempts to resolve the personal, group, and/or societal problem being examined.
o Clinical Sociologists therefore “fix” people problems, and if required they then Engineer lifecourse options for people to consider adopting in order to better positively enhance their total-full lives (the PPSR).
