Description
Consider the following scenario: Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel walk into a cafeteria. They each sit at separate tables.
Whose table do you join? Why?
After you briefly justify (50-100 words) why you selected that particular theorist, please write up an imaginary conversation between you and them. What kinds of questions would you want to ask? How would they respond to your questions? The goal here is to pretend you are having a real back-and-forth conversation (at the lunch table) with one of the classical sociological theorists. Throughout your dialogue with Simmel, Durkheim, Weber, or Marx, you must demonstrate a thorough understanding of their key ideas. Your creativity will be rewarded.
