For this assignment you will craft an eight-slide PowerPoint® Presentation with the following content.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Slide 2: Norms
- Define the concept of “norms” using a combination of the textbook and your personal understanding of the concept.
- Identify at least two norms you have observed in your culture. Provide sufficient description to identify the expected behavior and the people to whom this expectation applies. (Note: Norms do not have to be universally agreed upon, just shared by a group of people.)
Slide 3: Conflict Theory
- Define conflict theory using a combination of the textbook and your understanding of the concept.
- Connect one example of a norm to the perspective of conflict theory.
- Select one norm and identify how the norm is different in expectations or enforcement for different people based on social factors (e.g., gender, ethnicity, age, etc.).
- You may use a norm from the previous slide or a new example.
Slide 4: Values
- Define the concept of “values” using a combination of the textbook and your personal understanding of the concept.
- Identify at least two values you have observed in your culture. Provide sufficient description to identify what the values indicate about what a society desires and finds important. (Note: Values do not have to be universally agreed upon, just shared by a group of people.)
Slide 5: Structural Functionalism
- Define structural functionalism using a combination of the textbook and your understanding of the concept.
- Connect one example of a value to the perspective of structural functionalism.
- Select one value and identify how the value operates to motivate people to accomplish a necessary task (or prevent something) to maintain society. Provide sufficient detail to illustrate how the value functions.

Slide 6: World View

- Identify at least two world views that you have observed in your culture. Provide sufficient description to identify the subject and the perspective of the people. (Note: World views do not have to be universally agreed upon, just shared by a group of people.)
Slide 7: Symbolic Interactionism
- Define symbolic interactionism using a combination of the textbook and your understanding of the concept.
- Connect one example of a world view to the perspective of symbolic interactionism.
- Select one world view and explain how that world view is socialized into the people. Provide sufficient detail to illustrate how a person’s interactions will build their internalization of the world view you have selected.
- You may use a world view from the previous slide or a new example.
Slide 8: References
- List all references used in the presentation.
- Note: The textbook is the only required reference for this assignment, but others may be used as needed.
