Some researchers have concluded that global climate change is already occurring and that global warming will increase this century. Recent international negotiations, however, including a 2012 meeting in Doha, Qatar, have yet to reach a global consensus on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Some countries have resisted taking action because there are other researchers who claim that the warming trend may be just a random fluctuation and/or not related to human activity or that cutting CO² emissions?

Socialization is the process through which we learn the beliefs, customs, and norms of our society. It continues throughout life and is part of the process of shaping our identity and how we fit into the world. What's interesting is that today, many individuals spend up to eight hours a day viewing screens (TV, computer, phone, etc.). Does this affect how we relate to others and the world around us? For this discussion, we will define socialization. From there, reflect on how many hours a day you typically stare at screens. Is the media (and technology in general) an agent of socialization? Please respond to all of the following prompts: Define socialization. Is the media (and technology in general) an agent of socialization? How many hours a day do you stare at screens (TV, computer, phone)? Think of a TV show or two that you watched in your youth/teen years. Did this have an impact on your socialization/world view? Why or why not? Apply functionalism to socialization. (If needed, review Week 1. We covered this in our Week 1 discussion and Chapter 1 readings.) Reference Henslin, J. M. (2015).

Sociology is a social science. It studies human behavior, social relationships, society, and interactions. It's an interesting field as it connects so strongly to the world around us. For our first discussion, you will define sociology. From there, think about the role of the sociologist. Is it their job to observe society or to reform it? Are we all sociologists to some degree? Please respond to all of the following prompts: Define sociology. Are we all sociologists to some degree? Explore the role of the sociologist. In your opinion, should they observe society, or should they try to reform it? Define each of the three main sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Which do you think fits the most closely with how you see the world around you? Reference Henslin, J. M. (2015). Essentials of sociology (11th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson. ISBN: 9781323268179 .

Sociology of Mental Health Fall 2015 Exercise 2 Essay Questions: Please respond to THREE of the following questions in essays 1.5 to 2 pages long. 1) In Mad in America, Robert Whitaker argues that the treatment of mental illness is a “prism through which to view a society.” Put another way, he suggests, “Medical treatments for the severely mentally ill inevitably reflect the societal and philosophical values of the day (xv).” For this essay, please compare and contrast the dominant paradigm of mental illness treatment in two historical periods discussed in the book. You should consider: the underlying assumptions about the causes of mental illness; the prevailing treatment(s) of the day; how the mentally ill were regarded; and then describe what this tells us about that particular society at that particular time. 2) At the heart of Whitaker’s study is a question: Why do people with mental illness in the United States fare less well than people in poorer countries? Use Mad in America, as well as the other texts for our class, to address this question. Ask yourself, why might this be the case? What are the social, cultural and economic features of U.S. society that contribute to this situation? You may want to focus on the three or four most significant factors and explain how they all contribute to this situation. 3) Utilizing Karp’s “In Sickness and in Health” and one other reading from Voices from the Inside, compare and contrast caring for a family member with a physical illness to caring for a family member with a mental illness. In what ways are they similar, in what ways are they different? What accounts for the differences? What factors to social perceptions play? Do these differences matter, why or why not? Explain. 4) Karp and Sisson write, “I believe that one of the most important missions of sociology is to give voice…to the experiences of those whose voices and experiences would typically otherwise be blunted, marginalized…or simply ignored. If we want to understand how society works…we need particularly to listen well to the narratives of those who are too often powerless, marginalized, disenfranchised, and stigmatized (p. 4).” What do the narratives presented in Voices From the Inside tell us about how society works? Utilizing at least two selections from the book, please identify and discuss at least two different lessons these narratives tell us about how society works regarding mental health and illness. In general, the responses will be evaluated as follows: 1) Each response should be written in an essay format (introduction, body and conclusion-writing matters!). 2) Incorporation of specific examples from the relevant texts (you should demonstrate that you have a solid grasp of the material by drawing on the texts to support your claim, argument or analysis). If you pull an exact quote from one of our readings, you must include the author’s last name, year of publication and page number. For exam.

Social scientists have proposed a number of theories to explain juvenile delinquency. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Top 10 Young Killers Mirian Calin May 14, 2011 A number of child killings have been recorded throughout the years. These often have involved disturbing acts one can hardly imagine a child suffering through. These cases are becoming more controversial as the number of child killings increases every year. However, what happens if that innocent and vulnerable-looking child is the one responsible for the abduction and murders in your neighborhood? Would you believe the accusations made of someone so young? Could a child really commit such crimes? These are not your typical childish crimes of stealing toys from a friend, or bullying a schoolmate. This is the list for the top 10 young killers. There is a small amount of overlap from the list of evil children, for the sake of including people that really do deserve to be on this list. 10 Eric Smith January 22, 1980 “You may think I’m a threat to the well-being of society. And I can understand why you would feel that way. The fact is that I’m not. I’d be an asset to society.” At 13, Eric Smith was bullied because of his thick glasses, freckles, long red hair and one other quality: He had protruding, elongated ears. These were believed to be a side effect of medicine his mother had taken for her epilepsy when she was pregnant. Police charged Smith with the murder of a four-year-old boy named Derrick Robie. The younger child had been strangled, had large rocks dropped on his head, and had been sodomized with a small stick. When asked why he did it, Smith cannot give a definite answer. A psychiatrist diagnosed Smith with intermittent explosive disorder, a condition in which a person cannot control inner rage. Smith was convicted and went to prison. As of today, he’s been in prison for six years and has been denied parole five times.

His mother went to clean up his room one morning after Phillips left for school. Mrs. Phillips noticed a wet spot under her son’s bed and thought it was a leak from his waterbed. As she was investigating the bed to see if it needed to be drained, she found electrical tape holding the frame together. She thought her son had known the about leak but didn’t want to get into trouble. She removed enough tape to discover her son’s sock underneath, but she was surprised to feel something cold. The beam of her flashlight showed her the dead body of Maddie Clifton, an 8-year-old neighbor who had been missing for seven days. People in the community, especially the boy’s parents, .

Sociological Imagination: after lecture and reading about the sociological imagination, choose an event or circumstance from your own life where this can be applied. What greater forces in your life (politics, economics, religion, race, gender, geography, etc.) have influenced your behavior in a particular manner? For example, was there adequate funding for schools in your area or has the education system in your area been compromised with low funding? Are there opportunities for gainful employment? Are employment opportunities scarce? How has living in a small or large community affected your views? Was there particular political practices that have affected your life (segregated cities, for example). Remember that political practices such as segregation will affect both minorities and the majority. After choosing your circumstance or event, write a one double-spaced page explaining how institutions have influenced your life (or some aspect of it) using the sociological imagination. .

Social Psychology Social Psychology studies the individual as a social being. The individual develops their identity and sense of others and the world they live in through their interactions with family, community and culture. By definition then the individual is situated and 'produced' in a particular geo-historical context which has its own particular set of contingencies and conditions which form the choices and options available for that individual to choose from. The focus of social psychology is not on the individual but these contingencies and conditions which are made available for the individuals in that cohort group to choose from. The individual as a person negotiates these conditions and contingencies but is less a fixed object that can be defined by the 'observer'. This is an issue of power relations and debate. In this Response Paper you will attempt to gain the social psychologists perspective by watching a film by Naomi Klein entitled ‘Shock Doctrine’ and writing an essay answering the questions listed below. As a social psychological film, it challenges us to see how social conditions produce certain types of modern individuals, societies which are now manipulated largely by 'shock' into accepting new social terms for their lives. She is attempting to critically analyze elements of Neoliberal 'conditions and contingencies'. Assignment: 1. Watch the movie 'The Shock Doctrine'. https://vimeo.com/26718047 (Links to an external site.) 2. Write a minimum 250 word reaction paper. Include: a. Critique the argument she is making about how shock is being used to manipulate and regulate social behavior. What do you feel are the strengths or weaknesses? Give supportive evidence and a rational for whatever your opinion is. b. A the end of the film Naomi Klein quotes Franklin D. Roosevelt’s comment to progressives who visited him as he directed policies during the Great Depression of 1929, he said to them ‘go out and make me do it’. Why did he say that and what did he mean? Do you agree with his approach, why or why not? c. If we are being manipulated by social ‘shock’ what we should do about it? What do you feel you can do to be ‘shock resistant’? .
