The Weekly Individual Projects and Your Final Submission in Week Five: The Individual Projects for this course will build on each other—that is, each week leading to the final submission in Week 5, you will do 1 piece of the project that builds the complete assignment. The topic of your assignment is the sociology of sport. This is a large field within the discipline and one that most people experience in one way or another in their culture.

Week Two Individual Project

This week, pick the sport that you will be observing. Do some research on it, and answer the following questions in a paper of 1–2 pages: •What is the history of this particular sport? •What is the sociodemographic description of fans and players? Explain whether your sport is amateur or professional. •How does this sport fit into contemporary American life? •What cultural trends have impacted it? (For example, is this event or sport covered by the sports media? How does that impact the experience of it?) •Find at least 2 articles or readings that discuss the sport. Discuss at least 2 of the following: class, sex, race, education, age, and how your sport represents society. •What is your best sense as a beginning sociologist of the meaning of your sport as a social institution?
