Culture WriterA culture writer reports on how society’s interpretation of culture has developed and changed by studying the popular arts and creative works—music, movies, TV shows, photographs, and the like.
As a culture writer, you may write opinionated, conversation-starting essays and articles involving the biggest movie, most controversial song, and other arts that have enraptured society’s attention at that time. An example of this would be right after the movie Black Panther was released. A culture writer would analyze the movie and discuss the effect it had on both black and white communities. |

SociologistSociologists study how people and society interact. Sociologists study groups, individuals, social interactions, and how behaviors are influenced by environments.
As a sociologist, you may conduct experiments and research projects to test theories on social norms or issues, collaborate with other sociologists to draw conclusions and write up reports based on the results, and share these reports with policymakers, government facilities, businesses, or other groups to explain, improve, or identify issues with their certain sociological needs. |
