Article Review (Real World/Current Event)

First, review the various topics that are presented in this course using the syllabus. Access the CSU Online Library or Internet for an article on a real world/current event (2012-present) regarding the sociology of sport, why sports in society should be studied, and one of the modern social theories in sports that relate to better management and decision-making in sports. Some examples include gender equity, drug use, race, or any other topic listed for this course. You may locate the source using newspaper, media, journals, or sport magazines. Remember the CSU Online Library is a great source for credible and reliable sources.

Read the article and create a two-page article review on the event. The chapter headings within this unit might help you determine your topic.

The article review should contain three sections:

Introduction of the article including topic

Summary of the article; discuss sociology, why it should be studied, and one of the modern sports theories for management and decision-making of sports

How this course will help you address similar issues in the future.

Use Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced formatting. Your two-page article review should include a title and reference page, which does not count toward the total two-page requirement. 

Use APA formatting when writing your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced, and quoted or paraphrased material must have accompanying in-text citations.
