Conduct a 50-60 minute participant observation of an interaction with another person or in a public space where they are a minority member. You may observe a direct interaction with another person (e.g., family member, friend, significant other, colleague, peer, other); select a public place to overhear the social exchanges of others, or select a video documentary or interview.
Focus on identifying ONE observed social phenomenon from Myer Part Three Social Influence (Modules 12-21)and ONE observed social phenomenon from Myer Part Four Social Relations (Modules 22-31).
Written paper: Write a 2-3 page summary with APA text citations in standard, 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced. Describe the participant observation generally. Identify and explain the social phenomenon in your own words. Using the observation as evidence, explain using direct quotes and description for why this fits this social phenomenon. Conclude with your own reflection of what the experience was like, how you felt during this activity, how it was to see the social phenomena happening “in real life,” how it compared to reading about it in the textbook and include ethical reasoning.
Field notes: Take raw hand-written field notes. Include direct quotes written down verbatim.
