III,  Song/Poem – Sociology Project – Due Friday (Music & Sociology Rubric)

Example:  Man in the Mirror

Lyrics: Link & Highlights

Message:  How can we change the world (society)?

Sociological Relationship:  We are a part of society, so in order to change the problems which exist in society, we must start with the simplest solution by  fixing the problems that exist with us.  (Actions, beliefs, attitudes).

This song relates to the looking-glass self theory.  Cooley´s concept of the looking glass self, states that a person’s self grows out of a person´s social interactions with others.  The idea is that people in our close environment serve as the “mirrors” that reflect images of ourselves

 IV.  Classwork
