how to start this paper?

Question

Can someone give me some ideas on how to start this paper?

Compare and contrast two of the three sociological paradigms mentioned in the text. Which paradigm do you think best fits your social world? Explain your answer.
1.)Structural-functional
2.)Social- conflict
3.)Symbolic-interaction

Answer 1

First, go through each paradigm and really understand each of them, and find examples from your own life to match up to it.

Then, make observations on the similarities between all three of them, group those into one section. Then similarities between only 2 of them, then do the same for the contrasts.

After you have a lot of thoughts and jumbled ideas down, organize them out in a logical order (either similarities first then contrasts)..

And now for the part with it fitting into your social world, you can either interject examples after you talk about each, and then at the end, refer back to the examples and sum them all up at the end as your conclusion.

OR.. you could list out all the similarities, all the contrasts, then at the end, do a large paragraph on which one you think best fits your social world. Then do a conclusion.

Or you could also pick ONE complex situation in your life, and really compare it out with the one paradigm you've picked for your final paragraph.

Open --> Make your argument --> Strong conclusion, tying in all your ideas from your argument.

Answer 2

A good way to start is to describe an incident or situation that illustrates your main arguement and your topic. For example, if you are arguing that social conflict best fits, you might start with a 2-3 sentance summary of a news story about people protesting or about a strike--or about the social conflict illustrated by city ordinances that try to push homeless people out of a community rather than providing social services for them, etc.

Then you can move straight into stating yourtopic, explaining what you are arguing, and so on.
