Choose 3 of the 6 sociological theories and describe how those theories fit choices you’ve made in your life. Please give multiple examples (for each theory) of when and how you’ve applied each theory. For example;
During my time as an athletic administrator, I’ve hired many head coaches for women’s sports. For each search I would inevitably end up with a pool of approximately 75% men and 25% women. For most of my searches (after choosing the best candidates), there were very few females that qualified for an interview. Understanding that only 33% of collegiate head coaches were women, I felt a duty to hire more women in the head coaching profession. Therefore, I spent hours on the phone with my colleagues around the country trying to find qualified females for my open positions. When the search was concluded and I brought candidates to campus for an interview, I always made sure that 2 out of my 3 finalists were women. This is a “real life” example of the application of Feminist Theory.
Please turn in a 3 FULL page, double spaced paper on how you’ve applied these theories in your own life. You can use sport and non sport examples. Please turn in a word or PDF document.
The 3 theories I chose are Social Exchange Theory, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism
