Examining Looting: Perspectives on Morality and Social Influence

This lesson explores the complex issue of looting through a variety of sociological perspectives. Students will examine the phenomenon of looting, particularly in the context of events like Hurricane Katrina. By analyzing different theories—Functionalism, Conflict Perspective, and Symbolic Interactionism—students will gain a deeper understanding of why people loot. The objectives include explaining looting from multiple angles and developing the ability to write coherent paragraphs that distinguish various ideas. Students will engage in assessments and discussions to solidify their understanding.
