OPTION #1: SUBMIT PORTFOLIO PROJECT TOPIC FOR APPROVAL: RESEARCHING A MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENT

For this Portfolio Project, you will analyze a major global or national event, sociologically. You want to choose an event that has had major significance on a given society, such as the passage of a law like Roe v. Wade or a scientific breakthrough like genome projects (see below for additional topic suggestions). This week you will choose the event and submit a 1-2 paragraph overview of your topic.

Questions to consider: What makes this event historically significant? How did this event impact society and culture? What was the media’s coverage and how did that coverage impact society and culture?
