Write 3-5 pages in which you discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place orders have impacted you personally, your family and friends, and society as a whole. Relate these impacts to one or more concepts, theory ( Karl Max, Emilie Durkheim, Max Weber, W.E.B. DuBois, Robert Merton, Michel Foucault.)
For example, write about classism and the impact staying at home has had on different classes of people (i.e. those who can work remotely at home vs. those who can’t work at all). You could also discuss new ways of connecting with others during this time, like Zoom, FaceTime, etc. Did social constructs change during this time? Will resocialization be an issue after the social distancing is relaxed? Or, you can talk about urban sociology and how Boston or your home city has changed due to the pandemic. Or, how has globalization changed? There are many possibilities – be creative!
