Interview

During the first three weeks of the block, you are to interview the oldest person you know. This person can be anyone you know or the most senior living family member you know. Many students enjoy interviewing family; others prefer interviewing older people from their work environments, etc. You are to ask them about the changes they have seen in their lifetime. To do that, you need to explain to them what social change is. To explain what social change is, you have to understand what it is. Make sure you do this by reviewing the resources provided below and recording it in your essay. The definition of social change we use in this course is that it refers to the transformation of culture, behavior, social institutions, and social structures over time. You are to record five social changes they like and five they dislike. These are not to be one-line answers. Have them elaborate. You are then to comment on what you have learned from your interviewee regarding material and nonmaterial/ideational aspects of their lives. Discuss these changes with him or her: Why are they important? What were their causes? How have they affected the person you are talking to, even if they are unaware of it? The essay's main objective is to enhance your understanding of the causes of social change - have the changes your subject witnessed and experienced been materialistic or ideational? CONVENTIONS: Your paper is to be in APA format and be at least four pages in length; that’s four pages of text plus a cover page. No reference page is required, nor would one be necessary. You should include a complete introduction telling the reader what you are doing and what your paper is about. Also, I expect you to introduce the person (who they are), why you chose them, how you interviewed them, and where (in person or over the phone). The body of your paper should include a narrative that can be in the first or third person or descriptive (“he said,” “she said”) or a summary or description of what was said by the interviewee and the questions you asked. Change comes in many forms. What must be included, therefore, is the answer to the questions relating to what they liked and disliked. In your conclusion, please give me your thoughts about what they said and what you learned. To repeat one part of the above, include comments and ideas on the type (materialistic or ideational) of changes they experienced. Anticipate spending up to three hours on this project. No shortcuts, please. Finally, before embarking on your adventure, review the material below, particularly the rubric, and use it as a guide for the content of your essay. Your paper is due at the end of Week 3. Resources for assessment: Week 1 PowerPoint-Social ChangeLinks to an external site.
