Read/review the following resources for this activity:
• Textbook: Chapter 1-16
• Lesson: Week 1-7
• Minimum of 4 outside scholarly sources in addition to the textbook/lesson
• One personal interview of another adult of your choosing
Introduction
As you learned in Week 3, for your Socioautobiography Narrated
PowerPoint assignment, there is a strong tradition of creating both
sociologically-informed biographies and sociologically-informed
autobiographies in the discipline of sociology. The socioautobiography is a
"disciplined, systematic exploration of one's life from a sociological point of
view" (Hill, 2009, p. 3). Also, the sociobiography is the systematic
exploration of another person’s life from a sociological point of view.
For this assignment, you will be building upon the work you began in your
Week 3 Socioautobiography Narrated PowerPoint. For this week’s
assignment, you will interview an adult person of your choosing and
complete a sociobiography of that person, and present that in a narrated
PowerPoint. You will also compare and contrast that person’s sociological
characteristics with your own.
