Assignment 4

Alternatives to methodological individualism:  Think of a specific paper or a general topic of interest that you are familiar with (educational inequality, immigration, social movements).  To what extent does the paper (or literature) tend to emphasize methodological individualism versus meso- or macro-level  processes?  If all levels are addressed, give examples of each. If only some levels are addressed, describe them and then suggest one or more potential arguments that might focus on a different level.
