Excellent Projects

Throughout Winter quarter 2010, the Introduction to Sociology course was working on projects. Most of the projects were created using youtube videos, however a few groups also did a photo project using flikr. I have selected some of the best projects that were submitted.

Video 1: The Phenomenon of Sex in Advertisement

This video portrays the different ways in which advertisements use women as sex objects to sell their products. This is a good example because it is not only interesting by using current advertisements it also uses a variety of sociological concepts that were covered throughout the course.

Video 2: Breaking the Glass Ceiling

This video looks at the different ways in which women have been systematically held back in society and also it looks at how women are breaking boundaries. The groups also discussed stereotypes. This group also interviewed different people around the campus which helped support their argument.

Video 3: The Repression of Homosexuals


This is another excellent video, that discusses homosexuality. It compares homosexuality to other types of oppression that have occurred in our society throughout history. This project had a lot of great photographs and also a lot of great research about homosexuality in American society.

Photo Project 1: Ohio Bobcats and Conflict Theory

Using conflict theory this group looked at the idea of a basketball game that was being played by Ohio University. They took a variety of photos, but only selected the best ones to use for the project. The project utilized different terms and concepts in sociology and showed their knowledge of the subject. They also took some really great photos, which helped strengthen their project.
