After watching the film Angry Inuk, answer the following question in 1/2-1 page single spaced: How does this film relate to sociological concepts we've learned about in this course? The question is meant to be vague to give you an opportunity to be creative with your answer. Here are some of the concepts you could choose to link to the film: - cultural norms - ethnocentrism - deviance - social inequality There is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer for this bonus activity, I'm just looking to see that you can take what you've learned in the course and apply it to 'real-life' scenarios. A 'perfect' paper would describe the concepts you've chosen to use and would use specific examples from the film to make connections to what you've learned this term.
