Chapters 1-12, 14Lesson: Weeks 1-71 outside scholarly source in addition to the
textbook/lessonInstructionsThere is a strong tradition of creating both sociologically-
informed biographies and sociologically-informed autobiographies in the discipline of
sociology. The socioautobiography is a “disciplined, systematic exploration of one’s life from
a sociological point of view” (Hill, 2009, p. 3). Also, the sociobiography is the systematic
exploration of another person’s life from a sociological point of view.For this assignment,
you will reflect on your own life story, making connections between your everyday life/life
story and the broad sociocultural structures within which you live. To begin this
assignment, consider your own life as you review all the textbook readings and online
weekly lessons and decide which sociological concepts you wish to explain in connection to
a part or parts of your own life story. Focus on vocabulary words in bold in your textbook
reading, for example, and decide which terms apply to you and to your life story.Please note
that you do not need to include, and should not include, intimate or sensitive information
about your background in this assignment. There are many very general sociological
concepts that apply to each person’s life. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please
contact your instructor for additional guidance.Your paper must contain scholarly support
in the form of paraphrases *only* with respective citations from the assigned reading (the
textbook/lesson) and the outside scholarly source that you identify on your own. Do not
directly quote from sources for this paper, but instead paraphrase in your own words from
source material and cite the sources with parenthetical in-text citations and with full APA-
style references on a reference page at the end of your essay.Writing Tip: FocusAs Kanagy
and Kraybill (1999) wrote in their book, The Riddles of Human Society, the
socioautobiography is “not a diary” or a “point-by-point account” of life since birth (p. 287).
Feel free to focus on only a part or parts of your life story.RequirementsLength: 2-3 pages
