Working Thesis Statement
Cyberbullying is a complex predicament that is known around
the globe. It is an issue that humans faces emotionally, yet it
goes unnoticed. A psychology state of mind, a hateful way to
get into someone’s mind using harsh languages to benefit
someone else for the greater good.
Starting Draft
“Brandon Turley didn't have friends in sixth grade. He
would often eat alone at lunch, having recently switched to his
school without knowing anyone. While browsing MySpace one
day, he saw that someone from school had posted a bulletin -- a
message visible to multiple people -- declaring that Turley was
a "fag." Students he had never even spoken with wrote on it,
too, saying they agreed. Feeling confused and upset, Turley
wrote in the comments, too, asking why his classmates would
say that. The response was even worse: He was told on
MySpace that a group of 12 kids wanted to beat him up, that he
should stop going to school and die. On his walk from his
locker to the school office to report what was happening,
students yelled things like "fag" and "fatty." "It was just crazy,
and such a shock to my self-esteem that people didn't like me
without even knowing me," said Turley, now 18 and a senior in

(Elizabeth Landau, 2018)”
Talk about how Turley feels when his fellow classmates
discuss such a little word that means so much harm in the
making. How long do you think that Turley could recover from
this? Imagine one of your friend, weather your friend is a child
or an adult going through a similar experience but through
Facebook or Facebook messages. Would you be able to speak
out on the behalf of yourself and realize what is happening?
Cyberbullying is a complex predicament that we face around the
globe. It is an issue that everyone faces emotionally, somehow
it goes unnoticed. A psychology state of mind, a hateful way to
get into someone’s mind using harsh languages to benefit
someone else for the greater good. One last scenario, imagine a
kid being treated cruelly on Facebook by many of his
classmates. The kid’s mind is racing into so many directions,
positively or negatively, we don’t know what he is thinking.
Without proper knowledge of what Cyberbullying is, the kid is
not able to realize it, especially at a young age. When the issue
becomes more and more overwhelming for the kid, think of
what actions the kid could possibly think of based off of some
very descriptive words that is getting into his head. Those
words really messing with his head, and he may have taken his
actions too far. Think unlimited reasons of how the kid could
cope with this. Many solutions that the kid may think that is
ideal for him may include, suicidal, a gun riot, revenge, or
maybe the kid is worthy to realize that he should simply avoid
the situation at all cost.

FAMILIES, RACE AND POVERTY IN 2000
Objectives: Practice accessing and interpreting data; examine
relationship between race, poverty and household type; explore
the family as a social institution.
In this exercise, we are interested in looking at how family
types vary by race and ethnic group. We will be using the

4. computer software WebCHIP and SSDAN American Community
Survey data set for this analysis. We will be using the most
recent data collected from the U.S. Census.
There are four parts to this exercise. You will answer questions
on Parts I, II, & III by taking a quiz. You will answer Part IV
by responding in a discussion forum with your peers.
PART I-RACE/ETHNIC DIFFERENCES IN FAMILY TYPE
Go to http://ssdan.net/datacounts/webchip. Under “collections”
find acs2010in then under “datasets” find housing. Create a
Percent Down table with “HHType” as the row variable, and
“RaceEth” as the column variable. Click Percent Down to
generate a table. Use the % information produced to answer the
following questions (using the online quiz).
1. Which race/ethnic group has the highest % of married
couples (MrrdCpl)?
2. Which race/ethnic group has the lowest % of married couples
(MrrdCpl)?
3. Which race/ethnic group has the highest % of female headed
family households (FemFam)?
4. Which race/ethnic group has the lowest % of female headed
family households (FemFam)?
5. Which group has the highest % of male-headed family
households (MaleFam)?
6. Which group has the lowest % of male-headed family
households (MaleFam)?
7. Give one reason why you think some groups have high
percentages of married couples while others have low
percentages.
PART II: POVERTY AND FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD TYPE
Let’s test one possible explanation for the race/ethnic
differences observed in Part I. This explanation suggests that
the differences are partly attributable to diversity in
socioeconomic status (SES). If we use poverty status as the
measure of SES, we can test the explanation. First we need to
see how family type varies with poverty status.

5. Go to http://ssdan.net/datacounts/webchip. Under “collections”
find acs2010and select it. Then, under “datasets” find
FamPovGeoand select it. Create a Percent Down table with
“FamType” as the row variable, and “PovLevel” as the column
variable. Use the data generated to answer the following
questions (using the online quiz).
1. What type of family group constitutes the majority of the
poor?
2. What type of family group constitutes the majority of the
near poor?
3. What type of family group constitutes the majority in the top
two income levels?
4. What is one reason the poverty rate of a group can affect its
marriage rate?
PART III RACE/ETHNICITY AND POVERTY
In order to demonstrate that family type varies among racial
groups due to their different experiences with poverty, we now
need to link poverty to race/ethnicity. How do poverty rates
vary with race/ethnicity?
Stay in “FamPovGeo” under “acs2010”. Create a Percent Down
table with “PovLevel” as the row variable, and “RaceEth” as the
column variable. Use the % information produced to answer the
following questions (using the online quiz):
1. Which is the poorest race/ethnic group?
2. Which is the richest race/ethnic group?
PART IV PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
After taking the multiple choice quiz answering the above
questions, write a brief response (minimum 200 words) to the
following questions:
1. What data did you find surprising or interesting in this
exercise? Why?
2. Do the data from Parts II & III together provide some
evidence that race/ethnic differences in poverty rates probably
account in part for race/ethnic diversity in marriage rates?
Explain.

6. 3. What do the results of this exercise suggest the government
should do if they want to strengthen American families?
4. Latinos have poverty rates almost as high as Blacks and yet
their rates of married couples are much higher. Why do you
think that is?
5. How accurate were you in interpreting the data presented in
the tables that you generated (the results of your quiz should
tell you how accurate you were!)? How often do you use data
like the ones presented in this exercise to help understand the
world around you? Why do you think that is?
