Consider the topics discussed in the first two episodes of the podcast and of the first 4 chapters of your coursebook. For this assignment, I would like for you to use your sociological imagination and use the information you have gleaned so far to imagine arguments about the issue of poverty in the Eastend of London in the 19th century. 

How were the perceptions of the London of St.James (Westend) and the London of St. Giles (Eastend) different in the 19th century? What were they? 

How did people who lived outside of Eastend perceive it?

How did people who lived inside the Eastend perceive it?

How did the Newspapers affect people’s perception of Eastenders, the poor, and the social issues faced by them?

If you were a wealthy or Middle-class Londoner, what are the victim-blaming rationals you might use for the poverty in the Eastend?

If you were an Eastender or advocate for people in poverty, how might you use system blaming reasoning to address the issue of poverty in the Eastend?

If you were a wealthy or Middle-class Londoner, explain how you might use the Davis-Moore Thesis of social stratification and Functionalism to rationalize the differences between people on the Westend and the Eastend?

If you were an Eastender or advocate for people in poverty, how might you use Conflict Theory to address the wealth of the Westend and the poverty of the Eastend?

You should describe these theories and concepts in your own words and reference content from the book and podcast to make your points.
