SOC 213: Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a sociological imagination PowerPoint presentation.
The presentation is designed to encourage students to think about social problems—past or present, local or global—using their sociological imagination, which involves looking beyond the traditional expectations or veneer associated with social problems. This sociological skill set is imperative in order for student’s to truly begin to grasp the relationship and distinction between individual biography and social structures. Social problems are aspects of society that communities of people are concerned about and want to change or improve. Because social problems are social creations, students will uncover structural and cultural variables that help explain how a current social problem has emerged and persisted, and students will ultimately develop a “sociological imagination”“—the ability to see behaviors socially and understand how they interact and influence each other. The objective is to submit, in a creative PowerPoint presentation, a compelling case for why a student’s chosen social problem is indeed a social and cultural problem and not simply the result of individual choices. Sociologists do not discount the role of personal responsibility within a certain context, but rather seek to understand the power of an environment in shaping personal choices and patterns.
For example, consider the social problem of youth unemployment. It is well-documented that in the last several years of America’s economy, young people have experienced unemployment in greater numbers. A presentation in this course about youth unemployment might be framed initially about how, in an American culture that is so focused on individual responsibility and achievement, an issue such as youth unemployment can be treated as purely an individual problem.
False information surrounding youth unemployment at large sounds like this: “Today's youth are self-centered and lazy, and they have a sense of entitlement.” “They are not willing to make the sacrifices that we did by working their way up the corporate ladder.” To more specifically understand this sociological problem, students would need to narrow its parameters by selecting a given time period and/or a specific geographic area for youth unemployment. If a student chose to understand unemployment as a result of the Great Recession, it would be easier to scope the range of factors that contribute to this ongoing issue. To better individualize this issue, a student might choose to share his or her own story or that of a family member or a friend who experienced losing a job. Or, a student could choose to share the narrative from a movie, such as The Pursuit of Happiness or another contemporary example. Following this, it would be important to highlight a particular sociological theory: conflict, functionalism, or symbolic interactionism.

The document discusses how cinematography and editing are used in the films studied to communicate issues of power, poverty, and conflict. It provides two examples from the film Tsotsi: 1) A wide shot shows children sheltering in concrete tunnels to depict poverty. 2) A flashback through editing allows the audience to sympathize with the main character and understand why he turns to crime due to living in an impoverished township separate from the affluent middle class.

Here are some key questions to consider with the film La Haine:
- What cultural stereotypes are being adhered to or subverted? For example, the film subverts stereotypes of France as a place of beauty, art and culture by depicting the grim realities of the banlieues.
- How does the film represent France and French culture? It shows a divided France, with stark differences between the wealthy and the impoverished immigrant communities in the banlieues.
- Do the characters appear to be influenced by other cultures? Do they identify more with those cultures or with French culture? The multi-ethnic characters draw on aspects of their various backgrounds but ultimately seem most influenced by the culture of their run-

Week 5 Instructor Guidance
One of the topics we’ve been talking about throughout this course is how we can track both the personal and societal impact of film. In fact, your Week One Introduction post asked you to consider this issue and, as we progressed through the class and learned new terminology--new ways of looking at film, we were able to reconsider and develop our perspectives on this.
Both of your discussion posts this week touch on this issue, and it comes up in relation to your final written assignment as well.
While everything we’ve learned has helped us develop a critical capacity for talking about film, deepening our appreciation of the medium itself, ultimately our understanding of the (sometimes very personal) way film intersects with society is the key to unlocking another layer to the material from this course.
Students sometimes wonder about this course, asking how the material directly impacts their study of a chosen major. Students may even go a step beyond that and ask about how the material they've been studying has bearing on their anticipated career field at all!
That's why it's important to take a step back, away from the camera, away from the specifications of shots or the varying aspects of cinematography. It's time to pull our eyes away from the screen and look around at the world that surrounds us. We should be able to identify and consider the many ways film can impact society . . . as well as how society may impact film! In this way, we can start to consider how we can apply what we've learned in this class!
A recent study conducted by the University of Rochester (NY) finds that watching and discussing movies about relationships is as effective in lowering divorce rates as other, more intensive, early marriage counseling programs! Watch this video presentation.
Follow this link for more information about the study, and to download information about the films the couples watched, as well as the different questions the researchers asked the couples to reflect on after they watched specific movies.
As you reflect on your own journey in this class--how you watch movies and the kinds of impacts that films can have on people--try to think deeply about the many ways we engage with film and what it can really mean to us in our majors, in our careers, and in our lives!
Many of the movies we respond to are made for mostly for entertainment. No matter their artistic value, or how intelligent the plot may be, the main goal is to find an audience and get them to pay money to watch what unfolds onscreen. Individual members of the creative team--the director, the writer, specific actors--might have other more lofty aims, but at the root there is a basic economic principle at work.
Therefore, it would be easy to write these films off and focus more exclusively on documentaries or smaller budget movies made by guerilla filmmakers who aren't tied to the money making Hollywood scheme of things. We could focus on films that try.
Lesson 5 Representation
This document provides lesson materials on the concept of representation for a media studies exam preparation. It includes two lessons on representation, with the second focusing on planning an essay question applying representation to a coursework production. The lessons define representation, discuss its importance, and provide examples of how it can be analyzed in media texts. Key theories and theorists on representation such as Laura Mulvey, Richard Dyer, and David Buckingham are outlined. Students are guided in identifying representational concepts in their own work and planning a structured essay applying representation theory.

The document discusses representations of teenagers in media texts and provides tasks for students to analyze different media portrayals of youth. It suggests that teenagers are often represented in media as either fun or consumers. More complex representations have emerged in user-generated content where teens are involved in production. Students are asked to identify various media images of youth, consider why those representations exist based on social and historical context, and apply theories of representation and ideology to analyze sample media texts portraying teenagers.

In social psychology, one of the main ways of studying how people in.docx
In social psychology, one of the main ways of studying how people interact with each other and their group behavior is through observation. One aspect of observation is through understanding the media. We live in a world of mass media, with blockbuster movies, dramas, situation comedies, and twenty-four-hour news channels. Add to this product placements and commercials. It could be said that what we watch or read is a reflection of who we are as a culture, but is that true? Movies like
GoneWith the Wind
(1939), although spectacular cinematic experiences, were steeped in racial stereotypes. However, that was long ago. The world has changed considerably since then. Right? You expect racial, ethnic, and gender stereotypes in the media to be a thing of the past. Consider movies like Scarface (1983),
The Birdcage
(1996), and
The Waterboy
(1998) and the popular drama series
The Sopranos
(1999–2007)—all had main characters portraying a particular group in a stereotypical manner. The fact is that stereotypes still do exist.
The purpose of this assignment is to examine stereotypes on television to see if it promotes prejudice and discrimination. Pick a television program of your choice; it should be something current (from the last ten years) and can be a drama or a situation comedy. Using what you have learned from your readings, analyze the program and answer the following questions in your essay:
What is the overall storyline and setting of the television program? Who are the main characters?
Does the program portray the main or supporting characters in a stereotypical manner in terms of race, ethnicity, or gender? If yes, describe the stereotypes and explain how the stereotypes might promote prejudice and discrimination. If the program does not seem to promote stereotypes, explain how it was able to avoid doing so.
Discuss the impact of stereotypes depicted in the media on individuals and society, using at least two contemporary examples.

Week 4 stereotypes
The document discusses stereotypes of teenagers in media representations. It summarizes Richard Dyer's theory that stereotypes reduce diversity to a few exaggerated characteristics applied to all members of a social group. The document also discusses how stereotypes can reinforce certain values and assumptions through selective portrayal in media. Several theories are presented on how stereotypes function as a media shorthand and how constant exposure can subtly influence audiences' attitudes over time through cultivation and cultural effects. Examples of common teenage stereotypes in films and television are provided.

British Film and foundation theory
This document provides an overview of key concepts regarding representation in media texts. It discusses how representation is a fluid process influenced by both producers and audiences.

Below are example on how to answer them.
Example 1
Film Title and Director: Gus Van Sant My Own Private Idaho
Develop a thesis pertaining to the assigned film text and whether or not it, the film, in your view has the power to transform one’s political sensibilities. Your argument should express your point of view regarding the politics of difference, political sensibilities, and political transformation(s) as related to the film. Remember, you’re writing (developing) an analytical essay. Submit your thesis statement in the box below:
1a.
I found My Own Private Idaho to be a very complex film and with out any background information the average moviegoer would not see this film as one in which would awaken their sensibilities.
Develop three (3) topic sentences that articulate the major ideas that will comprise the body of your essay. Remember that your topic sentences should clearly state the argument or point to be made in the respective paragraphs. Submit your topic sentences in the box below:
2a.
(1)The average moviegoer is not aware of the Generation X culture/era, male prostitution, nor the plight of someone with a unique illness like narcolepsy as presented by Mike Waters and therefore has difficulty becoming immersed and empathizing with the character's. challenges. (2) Throughout the film there is no prominent societal involvement, authority figures or anyone opposing the behavior that the Generation X slackers demonstrated. (3) The "cut-up" directors technique made the film hard to follow contributing to the overall difficulty relating to the characters.
Identify three (3) scenes from the film that support your thesis statement. Briefly explain:
3a.
It is difficult to identify three scenes to support my thesis statement because there is not a particular scene in the movie that could do so. It is the technique in which the film was presented and the unique character attributes that leave the average moviegoer confused, lost and walking away saying "what the fuck was that all about?"
Lastly, fully develop your introductory paragraph. Remember that the best possible thesis will answer some specific question about the text. In this case a question related to the film’s power to transform political sensibilities regarding difference:
4a.
My Own Private Idaho, a movie about two young male hustlers, is not a film that has the capability to transform one's sensibilities. Although one might relate to one of the characters, the film does nothing but leave you confused and or lost, wanting more information about the characters in order to make some conclusions about what the producer/movie is trying to make. I found My Own Private Idaho quite confusing. Only after reading about it in Democracy and Difference did it make some sense .
Week 12 pro-forma audiences & products (1)
This document discusses various theories related to audiences and media consumption. It defines passive consumption as audiences simply accepting media messages without response. The hypodermic needle model suggests audiences will immediately believe anything in media. Active consumption is when audiences interact with and influence media. Uses and gratifications theory explains why audiences consume media for information, identity, social integration, and entertainment. Reception theory looks at how audiences interpret encoded media messages based on their own experiences and decoding. Spectatorship theory examines how audiences make meaning based on their social, cultural, private, and desiring selves. Different frameworks can lead to varied interpretations of the same media. The document uses these theories to analyze audiences' interactions with the Alien film franchise.

In social psychology, one of the main ways of studying how people in.docx
In social psychology, one of the main ways of studying how people interact with each other and their group behavior is through observation. One aspect of observation is through understanding the media. We live in a world of mass media, with blockbuster movies, dramas, situation comedies, and twenty-four-hour news channels. Add to this product placements and commercials. It could be said that what we watch or read is a reflection of who we are as a culture, but is that true? Movies like
GoneWith the Wind
(1939), although spectacular cinematic experiences, were steeped in racial stereotypes. However, that was long ago. The world has changed considerably since then. Right? You expect racial, ethnic, and gender stereotypes in the media to be a thing of the past. Consider movies like Scarface (1983),
The Birdcage
(1996), and
The Waterboy
(1998) and the popular drama series
The Sopranos
(1999–2007)—all had main characters portraying a particular group in a stereotypical manner. The fact is that stereotypes still do exist.
The purpose of this assignment is to examine stereotypes on television to see if it promotes prejudice and discrimination. Pick a television program of your choice; it should be something current (from the last ten years) and can be a drama or a situation comedy. Using what you have learned from your readings, analyze the program and answer the following questions in your essay:
What is the overall storyline and setting of the television program? Who are the main characters?
Does the program portray the main or supporting characters in a stereotypical manner in terms of race, ethnicity, or gender? If yes, describe the stereotypes and explain how the stereotypes might promote prejudice and discrimination. If the program does not seem to promote stereotypes, explain how it was able to avoid doing so.
Discuss the impact of stereotypes depicted in the media on individuals and society, using at least two contemporary examples.

1. The Institute of Medicine (now a renamed as a part of the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
) defined patient-centered care as: "Providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”[1] While this definition clearly emphasizes the importance of a patient’s perspective in the context of clinical care delivery, it does not allow managers to focus on the actual “person” inside the institutional role of the patient.
In the same sense that a person who is incarcerated in a prison may receive extremely humane treatment, the “person” is still defined into the role of an “inmate,” and as such cannot, by definition, be granted the same rights and privileges as a non-institutionalized member of the civil order enjoys. In other words, I may be placed in a cell with great empathy and understanding of my preferences, needs, and values, but I am still being locked-up in jail.
No one is suggesting that being admitted into a jail cell is the same as being admitted into a hospital bed. There are many obvious differences between the two, including the basic purpose of the two institutions.
But while much is different, what is the same is how a pre-existing set of structured behaviors and processes are used to firmly, and without asking or negotiating, radically transform a “regular” person into a defined role of a “patient” that then can be diagnosed, treated, and discharged back into the world once the patient has finished their “time” in the “system.”
While patient-centered care emphasizes the value of increased sensitivity to a patient’s preferences, needs, and values, what we want to focus on is how decisions made by healthcare leaders affect the actual experience of a person receiving that care.
So with the "real person" in mind, this week's question is:
What can healthcare leaders do in improve the actual personal experience that "real people" go through as our "patients?"
(Be sure to develop your answers AFTER you review the definition and roles of "Leadership" in the readings for this week).

1. The Documentary Hypothesis holds that the Pentateuch has a number.docx
1. The Documentary Hypothesis holds that the Pentateuch has a number of underlying documents (alt., sources) that were ultimately gathered and sewn into the Pentateuch as we now have it. The method of separating those underlying documents is called source criticism. Please perform a source-critical analysis of Gen 1-3. In so doing, please identify the significant features that distinguish each underlying document. Note: There are many such features.
2. Why are covenants important in the Bible? What do they accomplish? Are they all the same, whether in structure or outlook? Do the different writers view them differently? What does the ancient Near Eastern background to the biblical covenant contribute to our understanding?
3. Dt 6:4 used to be translated
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD [YHWH] our God, the LORD [YHWH] is one.”
Currently, we translate
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD [YHWH] is our God, the LORD [YHWH] alone.”
In all likelihood, the second translation is grammatically preferable. What is the interpretive difference between “one” and “alone”? Is it significant? How, if at all, does this verse relate to the First Commandment? How does this verse relate to Gen 1:26, 3:22, and 11:7? How does this verse relate to the variant non-MT variant in Dt 32:8-9 (as reproduced in HarperCollins)? Why is any of this important?
Be sure to provide a careful, well-written essay which gives ample biblical examples (proof texts) to support the point(s) you wish to make.

1. Review the following request from a customerWe have a ne.docx
1. Review the following request from a customer:
We have a need to replace the aging Signage Application. This application is housed in District 4 and serves the district as well as two other districts. We would like a new application that can be used statewide to track all information related to road signs.
The current system is old and doesn’t do most of what we need it to.
The current system has a whole bunch of reports, but no way for the user to update them by themselves without getting IT involved.
We also can’t create our own reports, on-demand, when we need to. Currently, data is entered into the application manually by Administrative Staff, but in the future, we would like to be able to take a picture of the road sign using a phone app, and have it automagically populate the database with geospatial location and other information. We thought about having a Smart Watch interface, but we don’t need that. Also, the current method does not have any way to manage the quality of the data that is entered, so there is a lot of garbage information there. There is no way to centrally manage security access, with the existing application. We want to get real time alerts when a sign gets knocked over in an accident and have a dashboard that shows where signs have been knocked over across the state. This is kind of important, but not super-critical. We need to store location information, types of signs, when a new sign is installed, who installed it, etc. We plan to provide the phone app to drivers in each district who will drive around, take pictures of the signs, and upload them to the database at the end of each day, or in realtime, if a data connection is available.
Back in Central Office, reviewers will review the sign information and validate it. A report will be printed every month with the results and a map. There are probably other things, but we can’t think of anything else right now.
2. List the main goal(s) of this request
3. Write all the user stories you see (include value statements and acceptance criteria, if possible)
4. Prioritize the user stories as
a. Critical
b. Important
c. Useful
d. Out of Scope
5. Are the user stories sufficiently detailed? If not, what steps would you take to split them/further define them?
6. What are the known Data Entities?
7. Is there an implied business process? Draw an activity diagram or a flow chart of it
8. Who are the actors/roles?
9. What questions would you ask of the stakeholders to get more information?

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
