Week 4
Discussion 1
Read Chapter Four of the text, Introduction to Sociology, and review the article, Overweight and
Obesity, U.S. Obesity Trends. Answer the following questions from the text (page 183), Applying
Sociology: Is Obesity Really a Problem?
Why is obesity high in some states and not in others? Is over eating the only cause of rising
obesity rates, or what other social factors could contribute to them? In the nature-nurture debate,
do you think that people are the size they are because of genetics or because of lifestyle
choices?
Discussion 2

4. Vissing (2011) states, “a society needs a variety of social institutions in order to function
adequately. However, it does appear that not all citizens have equal access to participation in
them, and that one’s social class and ascribed characteristics may limit one’s ability to benefit
from them. This disparity results in unequal access to all that the institutions have to offer” (p.
197). Review the various social institutions discussed in Chapter Four of the text, Introduction to
Sociology. In your opinion, which of these institutions do not provide equal access? If you were
asked to implement changes from a sociological perspective, what changes would you suggest?
Support your answer with detailed examples.
Week 5
Discussion 1
Social movements can change the world. According to Chapter Five of the text, Introduction to
Sociology, what social movements have been noted in the United States in the last decade?
What implications have these movements had on today’s culture? Then, hypothesize what
current social movements could transform the future of the world.
Discussion 2
The future of the world is uncertain; there are those who predict a wonderful world where
technology and creativity provide a good quality of life for most people, while others predict a
world of competition, conflict, and strife. Use the sociological theories provided in Chapter Five of
the text, Introduction to Sociology, to explain why these polar opposites could both occur, and
what needs to happen for peace and prosperity to result.
