Multimedia Presentation

For this assignment, you will

work either individually or in pairs to create a presentation, (pairs share a grade). Your presentation

should be a PowerPoint presentation (uploaded to slide share www.slideshare.net ), or YouTube

video. The subject is on a sociological topic of your choice falling under one of the Umbrella topicsbelow. By creating a presentation you will show what you have learned through your own research

and share it with others.

Umbrella Topics:

Problems of Well-being

Problems of Human Diversity

Problems of Inequality & Power

You will present your topic in a creative and thought provoking manner and incorporate anyappropriate multimedia, (including relevant images, short videos, etc.). You will highlight the

importance of your chosen social problem and come up with a probable solution. You will need

to incorporate a relevant sociological theory from the course throughout your presentation.

The following are examples of topics that fall under each of the umbrella topics:

*Technology is Destroying our Minds, Bodies, and Communities

(from Problems of Well-Being).

*Globalization and the Loss of Cultural Identity

(from Problems of Human Diversity)

*Racism Today-Holding us Back from Moving Forward (from Problems of Inequality & Power)

You will create an account in either YouTube or Slideshare.net (depending on your assignment

type) and upload your completed video or PowerPoint. If you choose to create a YouTube video, it

must be about 10 to 12 minutes in length describing your topic. If you would prefer to create aPowerPoint presentation, it must be approximately 15-20 slides. You will need to reference and cite

a minimum of 5 sources in APA format.

In session 12, you will post the URL link to your presentation in the Multimedia Discussion

Forum on the Discussion Board and write a reflection on your assignment relating it to your life

and the course. You will also be responsible for replying to a classmate's assignment and reflection,

touching on questions posted in Session 12.
