Your final writing assignment is to write a short 10-page paper (including the
citations). For this assignment, you will be provided with a number of academic
articles published in prominent sociological journals and will be asked to read,
summarize, compare, and synthesize them in your final paper.(provided in files) The goal of this assignment is for you to have a taste of how sociologists study issues related to stratification and inequality. Based on the articles you read, I want you to talk about your own understanding of they are saying rather than just repeating them in order. Try to compare and contrast the articles and their main findings and conclusions, their methods, as important as they are for professional readers, are not really important for this assignment, only the findings and implications
