Objective(s):

• Analyze and contextualize a sporting topic through a formal writing assignment.
• Demonstrate a satisfactory understanding of the impact of neoliberalism and the neoliberal processes of individualization and privatization on sport and physical culture.

Instructions:

For this assignment, you are tasked with writing a formal academic essay of at least 1,250-1,500 words. Keep in mind, this minimum word requirement is based on the actual paragraphs of writing in the essay and does not include the title page and reference pages.

The goal of the essay is to effectively conduct a “sociological imagination” of one’s experience with either a public or private iteration of sport or physical culture. Specifically, students need to contextualize these sporting experience in relation to the processes of neoliberalism.

The purpose is to better understand the ongoing privatization of sport in the twenty-first century, the ways in which this privatization impacts people’s sporting experiences, and the ways in which this can be situated within the context of neoliberalism.
