Observation Assignment
I select armature works in Tampa, FL, Striking mixed-use event space offering an upscale food court, bar & lounge in lofty, historic digs.
Address: 1910 N Ola Ave, Tampa, FL 33602 https://armatureworks.com/event/the-heights-distri…
Conduct your observation at a time when the place is likely to be busy. Take notes during your observation. Here are some questions for you to consider during your observation:
What does the place look like? (Be able to describe it in detail.)
Who else is there? (Note specific information like age, race, gender, possible social class)
What are they doing?
Observe the activities at a public place for 2 hours. Make sure to go when there will be a lot of activity. Take some notes about what is happening: What does this place look like? How is it organized spatially? Who comes here? What do they do? How do people interact with each other? What kind of conversations go on? Are there any subgroups? How do people handle unexpected or upsetting situations?
Write up a narrative summary of your notes describing what you experienced. Then, explain how each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and conflict) would analyze what you say. Your description of your observation should represent about 50% of your paper, and your analysis another 50%, divided evenly between the three perspectives. At the end of your paper, state which perspective you think is the best suited to analyze your observation, and why you think so.
Remember, your paper must be in proper ASA style – size 12 font, Times New Roman, double spaced, and include a cover page and reference page, for a total of 10 pages. This assignment is 100 points.
Review the scoring rubric prior to submission.
