Lesson 21: Perspectives on the Economy Attention
Manufactured Demand - The Story of Bottled Water Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this lesson's material, students will be able to:
Teaching Economics takes on a personal sense when we participate in the marketplace as buyers (and as producers in our world). From this vantage point we can apply the 4 different perspectives of Sociology to our own experiences in our own economics. Functional Perspective
Conflict Perspective
Post Modern Perspective
Interactionist Perspective
Assessment Possible Class Discussion Review the video in the lesson and the different perspectives. First post about your response to the video and the manufactured demand for bottled water...then consider other aspects of your personal economy that may be "manufactured" in the same way. In addition, post comments about your own thoughts on any of the questions that I pose in the teaching section related to the different Sociological perspectives we can have on our own personal economies.
