1. Halloween is arguably a time of year when a number of social facts normally in force

lose some of their weight or influence upon us. Find a Halloween-related example where

some social fact appears to be weakened or suspended at this time. Be sure to explain the

concept social fact by drawing on the Emile Durkheim reading as part of your response.

4. Find an example of someone failing to use their sociological imagination when

talking about or describing some social problem. Draw from the C. Wright Mills reading

to explain how your example illustrates this absence of a sociological imagination.

6. Consider the following statement: Humans are social beings. Find an example to

demonstrate this idea and draw from the reading by either Max Weber or Barbara

Ehrenreich to explain your meaning (i.e., using a concept from either reading to explain

how your example reflects this statement).
