Sociology of Sport
Instructions
Real-World or Current Event
First, review the various topics that are presented in this course using your textbook. Access the CSU Online Library or the Internet for an article on a real-world or current event (2012–present) regarding the sociology of sport and why sports in society should be studied. Include one of the modern social theories in sports that relate to better management and decision-making in sports. Some examples include gender equity, drug use, race, or any other topic listed for this course. You may locate the article using newspaper, media, journals, or sport magazines. Remember the CSU Online Library is a great source for credible and reliable sources.
Read the article and create a two-page article review on the event. The chapter headings within this unit might help you determine your topic.
The article review should contain three sections:
- introduction of the article including topic,
- summary of the article (discuss sociology, why it should be studied, and one of the modern sports theories for management and decision-making of sports), and
- analysis of how this course will help you address similar issues in the future.
Your two-page article review should include a title and reference page, which do not count toward the total two-page requirement.
Use APA formatting when writing your review. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced, and quoted or paraphrased material must have accompanying in-text citations.
