TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined t.

WEEK FIVE ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE
Notes and Advice
This paper is a demonstration of what you have learned about moral reasoning based on our examining of ethical theories and specific ethical issues. As such, you should focus your attention on carefully spelling out the reasoning that supports your conclusion, and
relating
that to the theories we have discussed in class.
You are free to write on the same topic and question you wrote on in previous papers or choose a different topic and question.
If you choose a different topic, you
would
benefit from going through the Week One Assignment exercises.
For a list of acceptable topics to start with, see the options from the list of topics available in the online course. If you are still unsure of your topic or of how properly to focus it
into
a relevant ethical question, you are strongly encouraged to consult with your instructor.
You are free to draw upon the work you did in previous papers, and reuse parts that you feel were strong, but you are not to simply recycle the previous papers. This paper should reflect the culmination of the development of your thoughts on this issue, and
many of the requirements for the final paper cannot be satisfied by a heavily recycled paper
.
The consideration of an objection
against
your own view is a way of showing that your view has the support of good reasons and can answer its strongest objections. Therefore, aim at identifying and addressing the strongest opposing argument you can, bearing in mind that a good thesis should be able to respond to the best arguments for the other side.
Thesis Statement
The thesis statement is more than just a position statement of the sort you provided in the first assignment; rather, it states the position and the primary reasons in such a way that the reader should have a clear sense of how the reasons support the position, which is what will be spelled out and explained in the body of the paper. Please see the handout on thesis statements available in the online course.

Final Research Paper Assignment Detailed GuidelinesYou are
Final Research Paper Assignment: Detailed Guidelines
:
You are asked to write a paper of 1700-words (minimum word count—any paper more than 150 words short of this minimum will not be accepted as a complete paper) to 2000-words (maximum word count—you may exceed this without penalty only if it essential to attaining the purpose of your paper). Your paper must cite the work of at least four philosophers studied during the course; there is no upper limit on the number of sources you may use. You have the option of writing a position paper or a comparison essay, depending on whether your plan is to argue in favor of an original position regarding the work and thought of at least four philosophers covered in the course or to comparatively evaluate the work of four or more philosophers. The topics below may be approached using either strategy; you may find that some will better lend themselves to a position paper (also known as an argumentative essay) and some will work better as a comparison essay. Choose the topic that most interests you and the strategy that works best for you.
Topic Areas
1) Plato, Hume, Kant, and Russell: What is human knowledge?
2) Kant, Mill, Aristotle, and Kierkegaard: What is the ethical life?
3) Sartre, James, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche: What is an authentic, autonomous individual?
4) Descartes, Hume, Searle, and James: What is consciousness?
5) Plato, Kant, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche: What is truth?
6) Plato, Descartes, Hume, and Nietzsche: What is the soul or self (conceived as an entity that is purely mental, spiritual, or nonphysical)?
7) Sartre, James, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche: What is the role and value of religious faith?
8) Descartes, Kant, Sartre, and Nietzsche: What is free will and why does it matter?
9) Socrates/Plato, Russell, Sartre, and Nietzsche: What is the role and value of philosophy?
This assignment is broken into two parts:
Part I includes the following elements
:
- Title of the paper (please do not create a separate title page). Special note: DO NOT title your paper, "Final Paper." Your title is important; it should give the reader an immediate snapshot of what the paper will say and attempt to draw the reader in.
- Introductory paragraph (including your thesis). This is a very important part of the paper--it should not be too short or too long (but probably at least five sentences). Begin by introducing the general topic and providing the reader with some rationale for why this topic, and what you will say about it, is worth thinking and reading about. Good writers usually begin with a "hook" in the first line to draw the reader in. You might pose an interesting or intriguing question, bring in an apposite quote, or make a controversial or surprising claim—even one that seems to go against your thesis. You will soon bring the reader around to what your position is when you state your thesis, which is usually very near the end of the first paragraph. The introductory p ...

14. We are not obligated to protect animal welfare.
15. Affirmative action is a moral obligation.
16. Affirmative action is not a moral obligation.
In making your argument, you are required to:
A. Include the following:
I. An introduction that includes your thesis statement
a. for example, say I’m writing an essay on the value of reading books and my thesis statement is about the value of reading books over watching movies. My introduction could simply be “In this essay, I argue that it is better to read a book than to watch a movie.”
II. Reason(s) that support your thesis statement (In other words, what are the reasons why should we agree with your thesis statement?)
a. for example: “Reading books gives the reader an advantage of having more detail in exposition that simply watching a movie cannot. For example, a five-second pan of the camera in a movie scene loses all of the important detail—even occasionally the narrator’s inner monologue—that can be expounded on for several pages in a novel. All of this information can make a difference in both one’s understanding and one’s appreciation of the story being told. Movies all too often are incapable of capturing fully that information the way the artfully-crafted written word can.”
NOTE: The above is simply a brief example of what supporting reasons for a thesis might look like. This is not, however, an example of an appropriate or recommended length for this particular section of your essay. You want your essay to be as strong as possible—after all, you are trying to convince us of your position, right? Therefore, you should spend an ample amount of room explaining exactly why it is we should agree with you.
III. A strong objection to your thesis
a. for example: “Some may argue that watching a movie is better than reading a book because movies can present a story in around two hours, while reading a book usually takes much more time.”
IV. A response to that objection
a. For example: “Especially when so many of us have busy lives and are pressed for time, the idea of watching a two-hour movie may seem more appealing than taking the time to read a 450-page book. However, I will argue that the benefits of taking the time to read a book far outweigh any benefit gained from lazily watching a two-hour flick. For example, .

PART1 (WEEK1)IntroductionOver the eight weeks of the course,.docx
PART1 (WEEK1)
Introduction
Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules.
Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:
Instructions
Topic: Artificial intelligence
State the topic (Artificial Intelligence)
State the specific issue you will explore.
This must be stated either as a question ("Should prostitution be legalized?") or a whether-or-not statement ("Whether prostitution should be legalized").
For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.
You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop
at least
three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those.
Example:
For the topic of prostitution, you might examine the aspect of personal autonomy, public health aspects, and law enforcement aspects, at a minimum.
Example:
For the topic of free healthcare for undocumented persons, you might address economic aspects, ethical aspects, and public health aspects, at a minimum.
PART 2 (WEEK3)
Introduction
This week you continue to work on your paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You have selected a topic and chosen issues related to that topic; this week, you will thoroughly research both sides of the issues you have chosen. Keep in mind that your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules; the assignment this week is to research both the pro and con sides of the issues you have chosen to address.

Essay 1: Rhetorical Analysis & Response
Instructions for Essay 1: Rhetorical Analysis / Reader Response
You have already written two brief rhetorical analyses in this unit. For your major essay, you will write another rhetorical analysis, this time combined with a response or rebuttal.
Format
: MLA paper format and documentation.
Sources
: at least one source (the essay you are analyzing). Use of additional sources is encouraged but not required.
Length:
Three pages, approx 800 – 1000 words
Due Date:
Refer to the assignment calendar for this course.
First, read/view the texts that I have provided for you in the folder “Texts for Essay #1” located just below these instructions. Choose one of these texts to be the subject of your analysis and response. You will notice that there are a variety of texts to choose from, including videos and hybrid written/spoken multimedia texts.
Approach your rhetorical analysis much like you have with the previous assignments in this unit. Identify elements such as audience, purpose and context as a means of understanding how the text communicates its main idea (also known as a
thesis
). Also identify and provide examples of the types of appeals used by the author, pathos, logos, ethos, etc.
The new element for this assignment is that you will be
responding
to the main idea or thesis of the text that you are analyzing. In other words, once you have established what the text’s thesis is and how it communicates that thesis, you will then need to add your own voice, ideas and opinions to the mix. Think of it as joining a conversation. Do you think the author of the original text is mistaken? Has he/she failed to consider some important point? Or do you agree with the author? Perhaps you can provide additional reasons, examples and evidence to support the thesis. Sometimes you can both agree and disagree with the author, but if you do so, be sure to clearly identify which portions you agree with and which you disagree with.
An outline of your essay might look like this:
Introduction
Identify the text, the author and the subject matter. Make sure your reader knows what you will be talking about in your analysis.
Rhetorical analysis
Analyze the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, context, visual or spatial elements, auditory elements, etc.) Explain how these elements, along with the author's use of logos, pathos, and ethos are used to persuade or convince the audience and evaluate the effectiveness of these elements. This section might be several paragraphs long.
Response
Respond to the author’s thesis by agreeing/disagreeing. Add your own ideas opinions and examples.
Conclusion
Wrap up the essay by restating your conclusions and position on the topic.
There are three individual due dates associated with this essay. Look at the assignment calendar and you will see them listed as:

ENG102 Essay One The Position PaperThe first assignment in ENG.docx
ENG102 Essay One: The Position Paper
The first assignment in ENG102 is the argumentative position paper; this paper should be four to six pages in length, not including a Title and References pages. To successfully complete this assignment, you will:
1. Identify a current issue that is debatable.
2. Take a position/side on that issue.
3. Research the issue and find appropriate resources and support to develop your position.
4. Address the opposing side’s views and refute those with logic and reason.
5. Demonstrate an awareness of your target audience and appropriately use appeals for that audience to persuade them of your position.
Prewriting: You will begin this assignment by first doing some exploratory research to find out what people are discussing in relation to your topic. In most cases, you will need to narrow your topic selection to a specific issue. For instance, immigration is a broad topic. In the early stages of my project, I would need to do some research to find out what specific issue within immigration is under debate right now. To do this, I might search for things like “immigration reform” or “immigration amnesty.
Research: The first step in research should happen in the pre-writing stage, as mentioned above. Note that you will want to make use of the Baker College Library databases to find current articles on your issue. In this paper at least three different sources must be used with not more than one deriving from the Internet. Reference sources, such as an encyclopedia, (e.g. Wikepedia.org) or a dictionary will not count as legitimate sources. This includes reference sites like WebMD.org and About.com. In addition, personal blogs or essays posted on personal websites or self-published on sites like Associatedcontent.com and Helium.com are not acceptable.
Note that by “make use” we mean the essay should incorporate quotations, summaries, and paraphrases using introductory phrasing and document sources in the text according to APA: The Easy Way!
Basic Organizational Pattern: There are multiple ways to organize argumentative position essays, but most follow a basic pattern like the sample outline below:
1. Introduction. Setting up some context for the issue is a great way to open a position paper, as it allows you to show the issue is current. End this introduction paragraph with your thesis statement.
2. Claim 1: Set up the first reason/claim for the position in a topic sentence. Develop a paragraph on that one claim, using supporting evidence to develop that point.
3. Claim 2: See #2
4. Claim 3: See #3
5. Refutation of the Opposition’s claims: This may take a couple of paragraphs. This section of the paper requires you directly address the main claims made by the opposition and refute those, showing why those are not strong or valid claims.
6. Conclusion: Think about how you can lead the reader back out of the paper.

.
Assignment: Write a 1000 word paper (= 3-4 pages, double-spaced) on one of the
following topics:
1.) In The Prince, Machiavelli writes: “And let no one resist my opinion on this
with that trite proverb, that whoever founds on the people founds on mud.”
According to Machiavelli, how should a prince “found on the people”? How does
his advice ultimately benefit the people?
2.) Take a look of the foundations of the social contract in both Hobbes and
Locke. How do their different assumptions about human nature and the state of
nature inform their theories? How does this result in their different conceptions
of civil society/government? Identify and analyze at least two different
assumptions and speak about the implications for their theories.
Papers cannot be submitted by email under any circumstances
Guidelines for Papers
1. Your paper is supposed to be an interpretation of some aspect of the
work(s): in other words, an argument concerning some aspect of the work
based on analysis of relevant textual evidence. Your paper is not supposed
to be a summary of the work, a statement of your opinion about the work, or a
discussion of its historical significance or relevance. Frame your paper as an
investigation of why and how the author makes the argument he or she does
rather than simply saying what is said. Turn your topic into an argument.
2. Give a clear statement of your argument at the beginning of your paper.
3. Unify your paper with a single argument with a logical development from one step of
the argument to the next. Do not make your paper a collection of separate points or
examples.
4. Every time you state that the author states or argues something you should
have evidence to support your statement, either in the form of a quotation or a specific
textual reference. Only quote what you need for your purposes. Try to look at your
quotations as something more than mere evidence, and instead as material that you
can analyze (break down into its parts in order to interpret it) in order to make your
argument.
5. Use clear and simple language, but a formal style. Obscurity is not profundity. Make
sure that you know the meaning of the words you use. You are writing a formal paper,
not an email message. Avoid colloquial or chatty language. Do not use contractions:
not using them reminds you of the appropriate level of discourse for your paper.
Criteria for assessing your work:
1. Do you have a clear statement of your argument?
2. Do you provide relevant evidence?
3. Are your reasoning and writing clear and effective?
4. Do you demonstrate understanding of the work(s) you are analyzing?
5. To what degree do you address the most important questions and problems
posed by the work(s) you are interpreting?
Warning: If your paper is effectively a summary of the work rather than an interpretation
of it, then the best grade you can possibly receive .
Length No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more.docx
Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or
2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and
1-inch margins. Font should be Times or Palatino only. Do not include a title page.
Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also
proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal
tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the
disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a
clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the
original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please
include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word
count.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social
theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social
theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation
with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to
explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you
understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the
social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things
like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of
features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in
romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The
easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are
personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ☺ ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this
quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are
welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined to do so.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WRITING
1. Once you’ve chosen your area of focus, write down some general ideas for yourself about
how you understand it. For example, if you’ve picked the school-to-prison pipeline, you
can sketch out a general statement of what you already know about it, where you learned
what you know, and what questions you still have.
2. Pick which three theorists you are going to use.
3. From each theorist, choose three concepts, terms, or theories. Since we talked about ...

The key is diversity. Do not take in the same news source week after week. Be sure to take notes during the program that you watch, including the program’s name, outlet (cable, television, online, etc.), and date viewed. You will write
two
1-2 paged papers, connecting current political news to the material from the textbook and lecture outlines. Detailed instructions will be posted on Titanium within the first two weeks of the semester. These two papers, along with your notes from watching the news, are to be stapled together and turned in as one assignment.

CASE STUDY:
Mary is a 36-year-old stay-at-home mother of four children. She is starting to become a bit bored with staying home, having done that for the past 15 years. Prior to having children, Mary worked in a credit union and enjoyed her job. She especially liked the precision of number crunching. She has carried this characteristic into her housekeeping chores. She tries to keep her home spotless, even with four children. She cleans the two bathrooms every day, vacuums, dusts, picks up toys, and performs various and sundry cleaning chores. Clutter and messiness bother her, and she is almost neurotic about cleaning. She is a perfectionist and knows it. All of her friends agree, but she is able to laugh at this quirk and not take herself too seriously.
Although maintaining a house with four children might seem overwhelming to others, Mary handles these chores fine and has time (sometimes while cleaning) to keep in close touch with her friends, especially with phone calls. Mary is continuously on the phone. Her friends are a very important part of her social support network, especially since she does not have coworkers with whom to interact and because her husband travels a lot for his job. Often, her friends seem more important to her than her spouse and she seems to have a better relationship with them than her husband. They describe her as being fiercely loyal, supportive, and talkative. They also know that she has a good heart. She is always willing to help another mom whose babysitter got sick by watching their child while she goes to work. If a friend is feeling overwhelmed about preparing for an upcoming party, she is willing to cook or bake something for them. You would never know from looking at her that Mary is such a warm and caring person. She actually looks a bit intimidating and angry, but that is just because her age is starting to show with somewhat deep lines between her eyes, which is mistaken for a frown. She is aware of this contradiction and is a bit self-conscious of her frown lines.
Mary is also insecure about not having attended college. Many of her friends graduated from college. Some even have doctorate degrees, but Mary never did. She does not think of herself as unintelligent, but she sees herself as uneducated and defers to others with a better education. Her friends see her as very intelligent, and they encourage her to pursue at least an associate’s degree mainly so she will feel better about herself. Mary is considering this possibility. It is something that she has always wanted to do. In particular, she is thinking about getting an associate’s degree in legal business studies and becoming a legal assistant after all of her children are in middle school. They will be old.

Sociology in a Nutshell A Brief Introduction to the Discipl.docx
Sociology in a Nutshell:
A Brief Introduction to the Discipline of Sociology
Alan Barton, Ph.D.
As an independent discipline, Sociology dates back to the end of the 19
th
century, although
Sociology has influences from various other disciplines, including Philosophy, Political Economy
and Statistics. The first practitioners of Sociology were in France and Germany, as the effects of
the industrial revolution were being felt across Europe, and early sociologists were primarily
concerned with understanding the nature of industrial society (Levine, 1995). The first theories
that emerged contrasted community structures, common in agrarian societies, with societal
structures, common in industrial settings (Tönnies, 1887/2002; Durkheim, 1893/1997; Redfield,
1953). Community systems are rooted in personal emotional attachments, a desire for
homogeneity, strict normative (informal) controls, and a rudimentary division of labor (e.g., by
gender, within the household), while societal systems are based on professional rational
attachments, valuing diversity, legal (formal) controls, and a complex division of labor (e.g., by
occupation, at workplaces). As industrialization develops, systems of social organization move
from community to society, and states and markets take central roles in the operation of society
(Polanyi, 1944).
Sociology came to America in the early twentieth century, and was first established at the
University of Chicago (Collins, 1994). American sociologists developed a new approach to the
study of modern (industrial) society, by appropriating ecological theories from Biology and
applying them to urban settings. American sociologists also highlighted interaction as the root of
social structures (Mead, 1934; Goffman, 1959; Blumer, 1969). As Sociology spread, other
perspectives grew as well, including Functionalist Sociology, which emphasizes social order and
the “social glue” that holds society together, and Conflict Sociology, which emphasizes social
hierarchies and the differing levels of status accorded to different groups (Collins, 1994).
At its core, Sociology is the study of the relationship between individuals and their social
contexts. This is sometimes known as the Sociological Perspective (or the Sociological
Imagination) , because in order to understand the social causes of human behavior, sociologists
typically must adopt a way of thinking that differs from how most people see the world (Mills,
1959). Humans are by nature social beings; we cannot survive unless we interact with other
humans. But our interactions are not random, they are shaped by our relationships with others,
by our cultural values and beliefs, by the rules of institutions we participate in, and by our
experiences in previous interactions, among other influences (Bellah, Madsen, Sullivan, Swidler
& Tipton, 1991). Through interaction, we create the terms of these social structures―the

Final Research Paper Assignment: Detailed Guidelines
:
You are asked to write a paper of 1700-words (minimum word count—any paper more than 150 words short of this minimum will not be accepted as a complete paper) to 2000-words (maximum word count—you may exceed this without penalty only if it essential to attaining the purpose of your paper). Your paper must cite the work of at least four philosophers studied during the course; there is no upper limit on the number of sources you may use. You have the option of writing a position paper or a comparison essay, depending on whether your plan is to argue in favor of an original position regarding the work and thought of at least four philosophers covered in the course or to comparatively evaluate the work of four or more philosophers. The topics below may be approached using either strategy; you may find that some will better lend themselves to a position paper (also known as an argumentative essay) and some will work better as a comparison essay. Choose the topic that most interests you and the strategy that works best for you.
Topic Areas
1) Plato, Hume, Kant, and Russell: What is human knowledge?
2) Kant, Mill, Aristotle, and Kierkegaard: What is the ethical life?
3) Sartre, James, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche: What is an authentic, autonomous individual?
4) Descartes, Hume, Searle, and James: What is consciousness?
5) Plato, Kant, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche: What is truth?
6) Plato, Descartes, Hume, and Nietzsche: What is the soul or self (conceived as an entity that is purely mental, spiritual, or nonphysical)?
7) Sartre, James, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche: What is the role and value of religious faith?
8) Descartes, Kant, Sartre, and Nietzsche: What is free will and why does it matter?
9) Socrates/Plato, Russell, Sartre, and Nietzsche: What is the role and value of philosophy?
This assignment is broken into two parts:
Part I includes the following elements
:
- Title of the paper (please do not create a separate title page). Special note: DO NOT title your paper, "Final Paper." Your title is important; it should give the reader an immediate snapshot of what the paper will say and attempt to draw the reader in.
- Introductory paragraph (including your thesis). This is a very important part of the paper--it should not be too short or too long (but probably at least five sentences). Begin by introducing the general topic and providing the reader with some rationale for why this topic, and what you will say about it, is worth thinking and reading about. Good writers usually begin with a "hook" in the first line to draw the reader in. You might pose an interesting or intriguing question, bring in an apposite quote, or make a controversial or surprising claim—even one that seems to go against your thesis. You will soon bring the reader around to what your position is when you state your thesis, which is usually very near the end of the first paragraph. The introductory p ...

13. We are obligated to protect animal welfare.
14. We are not obligated to protect animal welfare.
15. Affirmative action is a moral obligation.
16. Affirmative action is not a moral obligation.
In making your argument, you are required to:
A. Include the following:
I. An introduction that includes your thesis statement
a. for example, say I’m writing an essay on the value of reading books and my thesis statement is about the value of reading books over watching movies. My introduction could simply be “In this essay, I argue that it is better to read a book than to watch a movie.”
II. Reason(s) that support your thesis statement (In other words, what are the reasons why should we agree with your thesis statement?)
a. for example: “Reading books gives the reader an advantage of having more detail in exposition that simply watching a movie cannot. For example, a five-second pan of the camera in a movie scene loses all of the important detail—even occasionally the narrator’s inner monologue—that can be expounded on for several pages in a novel. All of this information can make a difference in both one’s understanding and one’s appreciation of the story being told. Movies all too often are incapable of capturing fully that information the way the artfully-crafted written word can.”
NOTE: The above is simply a brief example of what supporting reasons for a thesis might look like. This is not, however, an example of an appropriate or recommended length for this particular section of your essay. You want your essay to be as strong as possible—after all, you are trying to convince us of your position, right? Therefore, you should spend an ample amount of room explaining exactly why it is we should agree with you.
III. A strong objection to your thesis
a. for example: “Some may argue that watching a movie is better than reading a book because movies can present a story in around two hours, while reading a book usually takes much more time.”
IV. A response to that objection
a. For example: “Especially when so many of us have busy lives and are pressed for time, the idea of watching a two-hour movie may seem more appealing than taking the time to read a 450-page book. However, I will argue that the benefits of taking the time to read a book far outweigh any benefit gained from lazily watching a two-hour flick. For example, .

Introduction
Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules.
Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:

State the specific issue you will explore.
This must be stated either as a question ("Should prostitution be legalized?") or a whether-or-not statement ("Whether prostitution should be legalized").
For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.
You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop
at least
three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those.
Example:
For the topic of prostitution, you might examine the aspect of personal autonomy, public health aspects, and law enforcement aspects, at a minimum.
Example:
For the topic of free healthcare for undocumented persons, you might address economic aspects, ethical aspects, and public health aspects, at a minimum.

Essay 1: Rhetorical Analysis & Response
Instructions for Essay 1: Rhetorical Analysis / Reader Response
You have already written two brief rhetorical analyses in this unit. For your major essay, you will write another rhetorical analysis, this time combined with a response or rebuttal.
Format
: MLA paper format and documentation.
Sources
: at least one source (the essay you are analyzing). Use of additional sources is encouraged but not required.
Length:
Three pages, approx 800 – 1000 words
Due Date:
Refer to the assignment calendar for this course.
First, read/view the texts that I have provided for you in the folder “Texts for Essay #1” located just below these instructions. Choose one of these texts to be the subject of your analysis and response. You will notice that there are a variety of texts to choose from, including videos and hybrid written/spoken multimedia texts.
Approach your rhetorical analysis much like you have with the previous assignments in this unit. Identify elements such as audience, purpose and context as a means of understanding how the text communicates its main idea (also known as a
thesis
). Also identify and provide examples of the types of appeals used by the author, pathos, logos, ethos, etc.
The new element for this assignment is that you will be
responding
to the main idea or thesis of the text that you are analyzing. In other words, once you have established what the text’s thesis is and how it communicates that thesis, you will then need to add your own voice, ideas and opinions to the mix. Think of it as joining a conversation. Do you think the author of the original text is mistaken? Has he/she failed to consider some important point? Or do you agree with the author? Perhaps you can provide additional reasons, examples and evidence to support the thesis. Sometimes you can both agree and disagree with the author, but if you do so, be sure to clearly identify which portions you agree with and which you disagree with.
An outline of your essay might look like this:
Introduction
Identify the text, the author and the subject matter. Make sure your reader knows what you will be talking about in your analysis.
Rhetorical analysis
Analyze the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, context, visual or spatial elements, auditory elements, etc.) Explain how these elements, along with the author's use of logos, pathos, and ethos are used to persuade or convince the audience and evaluate the effectiveness of these elements. This section might be several paragraphs long.
Response
Respond to the author’s thesis by agreeing/disagreeing. Add your own ideas opinions and examples.
Conclusion
Wrap up the essay by restating your conclusions and position on the topic.
There are three individual due dates associated with this essay. Look at the assignment calendar and you will see them listed as:

ENG102 Essay One The Position PaperThe first assignment in ENG.docx
ENG102 Essay One: The Position Paper
The first assignment in ENG102 is the argumentative position paper; this paper should be four to six pages in length, not including a Title and References pages. To successfully complete this assignment, you will:
1. Identify a current issue that is debatable.
2. Take a position/side on that issue.
3. Research the issue and find appropriate resources and support to develop your position.
4. Address the opposing side’s views and refute those with logic and reason.
5. Demonstrate an awareness of your target audience and appropriately use appeals for that audience to persuade them of your position.
Prewriting: You will begin this assignment by first doing some exploratory research to find out what people are discussing in relation to your topic. In most cases, you will need to narrow your topic selection to a specific issue. For instance, immigration is a broad topic. In the early stages of my project, I would need to do some research to find out what specific issue within immigration is under debate right now. To do this, I might search for things like “immigration reform” or “immigration amnesty.
Research: The first step in research should happen in the pre-writing stage, as mentioned above. Note that you will want to make use of the Baker College Library databases to find current articles on your issue. In this paper at least three different sources must be used with not more than one deriving from the Internet. Reference sources, such as an encyclopedia, (e.g. Wikepedia.org) or a dictionary will not count as legitimate sources. This includes reference sites like WebMD.org and About.com. In addition, personal blogs or essays posted on personal websites or self-published on sites like Associatedcontent.com and Helium.com are not acceptable.
Note that by “make use” we mean the essay should incorporate quotations, summaries, and paraphrases using introductory phrasing and document sources in the text according to APA: The Easy Way!
Basic Organizational Pattern: There are multiple ways to organize argumentative position essays, but most follow a basic pattern like the sample outline below:
1. Introduction. Setting up some context for the issue is a great way to open a position paper, as it allows you to show the issue is current. End this introduction paragraph with your thesis statement.
2. Claim 1: Set up the first reason/claim for the position in a topic sentence. Develop a paragraph on that one claim, using supporting evidence to develop that point.
3. Claim 2: See #2
4. Claim 3: See #3
5. Refutation of the Opposition’s claims: This may take a couple of paragraphs. This section of the paper requires you directly address the main claims made by the opposition and refute those, showing why those are not strong or valid claims.
6. Conclusion: Think about how you can lead the reader back out of the paper.

Guidelines for Papers
1. Your paper is supposed to be an interpretation of some aspect of the
work(s): in other words, an argument concerning some aspect of the work
based on analysis of relevant textual evidence. Your paper is not supposed
to be a summary of the work, a statement of your opinion about the work, or a
discussion of its historical significance or relevance. Frame your paper as an
investigation of why and how the author makes the argument he or she does
rather than simply saying what is said. Turn your topic into an argument.
2. Give a clear statement of your argument at the beginning of your paper.
3. Unify your paper with a single argument with a logical development from one step of
the argument to the next. Do not make your paper a collection of separate points or
examples.
4. Every time you state that the author states or argues something you should
have evidence to support your statement, either in the form of a quotation or a specific
textual reference. Only quote what you need for your purposes. Try to look at your
quotations as something more than mere evidence, and instead as material that you
can analyze (break down into its parts in order to interpret it) in order to make your
argument.
5. Use clear and simple language, but a formal style. Obscurity is not profundity. Make
sure that you know the meaning of the words you use. You are writing a formal paper,
not an email message. Avoid colloquial or chatty language. Do not use contractions:
not using them reminds you of the appropriate level of discourse for your paper.
Criteria for assessing your work:
1. Do you have a clear statement of your argument?
2. Do you provide relevant evidence?
3. Are your reasoning and writing clear and effective?
4. Do you demonstrate understanding of the work(s) you are analyzing?
5. To what degree do you address the most important questions and problems
posed by the work(s) you are interpreting?
Warning: If your paper is effectively a summary of the work rather than an interpretation
of it, then the best grade you can possibly receive .
Length No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more.docx
Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or
2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and
1-inch margins. Font should be Times or Palatino only. Do not include a title page.
Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also
proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal
tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the
disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a
clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the
original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please
include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word
count.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social
theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social
theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation
with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to
explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you
understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the
social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things
like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of
features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in
romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The
easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are
personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ☺ ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this
quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are
welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined to do so.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS BEFORE WRITING
1. Once you’ve chosen your area of focus, write down some general ideas for yourself about
how you understand it. For example, if you’ve picked the school-to-prison pipeline, you
can sketch out a general statement of what you already know about it, where you learned
what you know, and what questions you still have.
2. Pick which three theorists you are going to use.
3. From each theorist, choose three concepts, terms, or theories. Since we talked about ...

CASE STUDY:
Mary is a 36-year-old stay-at-home mother of four children. She is starting to become a bit bored with staying home, having done that for the past 15 years. Prior to having children, Mary worked in a credit union and enjoyed her job. She especially liked the precision of number crunching. She has carried this characteristic into her housekeeping chores. She tries to keep her home spotless, even with four children. She cleans the two bathrooms every day, vacuums, dusts, picks up toys, and performs various and sundry cleaning chores. Clutter and messiness bother her, and she is almost neurotic about cleaning. She is a perfectionist and knows it. All of her friends agree, but she is able to laugh at this quirk and not take herself too seriously.
Although maintaining a house with four children might seem overwhelming to others, Mary handles these chores fine and has time (sometimes while cleaning) to keep in close touch with her friends, especially with phone calls. Mary is continuously on the phone. Her friends are a very important part of her social support network, especially since she does not have coworkers with whom to interact and because her husband travels a lot for his job. Often, her friends seem more important to her than her spouse and she seems to have a better relationship with them than her husband. They describe her as being fiercely loyal, supportive, and talkative. They also know that she has a good heart. She is always willing to help another mom whose babysitter got sick by watching their child while she goes to work. If a friend is feeling overwhelmed about preparing for an upcoming party, she is willing to cook or bake something for them. You would never know from looking at her that Mary is such a warm and caring person. She actually looks a bit intimidating and angry, but that is just because her age is starting to show with somewhat deep lines between her eyes, which is mistaken for a frown. She is aware of this contradiction and is a bit self-conscious of her frown lines.
Mary is also insecure about not having attended college. Many of her friends graduated from college. Some even have doctorate degrees, but Mary never did. She does not think of herself as unintelligent, but she sees herself as uneducated and defers to others with a better education. Her friends see her as very intelligent, and they encourage her to pursue at least an associate’s degree mainly so she will feel better about herself. Mary is considering this possibility. It is something that she has always wanted to do. In particular, she is thinking about getting an associate’s degree in legal business studies and becoming a legal assistant after all of her children are in middle school. They will be old.

As an independent discipline, Sociology dates back to the end of the 19
th
century, although
Sociology has influences from various other disciplines, including Philosophy, Political Economy
and Statistics. The first practitioners of Sociology were in France and Germany, as the effects of
the industrial revolution were being felt across Europe, and early sociologists were primarily
concerned with understanding the nature of industrial society (Levine, 1995). The first theories
that emerged contrasted community structures, common in agrarian societies, with societal
structures, common in industrial settings (Tönnies, 1887/2002; Durkheim, 1893/1997; Redfield,
1953). Community systems are rooted in personal emotional attachments, a desire for
homogeneity, strict normative (informal) controls, and a rudimentary division of labor (e.g., by
gender, within the household), while societal systems are based on professional rational
attachments, valuing diversity, legal (formal) controls, and a complex division of labor (e.g., by
occupation, at workplaces). As industrialization develops, systems of social organization move
from community to society, and states and markets take central roles in the operation of society
(Polanyi, 1944).
Sociology came to America in the early twentieth century, and was first established at the
University of Chicago (Collins, 1994). American sociologists developed a new approach to the
study of modern (industrial) society, by appropriating ecological theories from Biology and
applying them to urban settings. American sociologists also highlighted interaction as the root of
social structures (Mead, 1934; Goffman, 1959; Blumer, 1969). As Sociology spread, other
perspectives grew as well, including Functionalist Sociology, which emphasizes social order and
the “social glue” that holds society together, and Conflict Sociology, which emphasizes social
hierarchies and the differing levels of status accorded to different groups (Collins, 1994).
At its core, Sociology is the study of the relationship between individuals and their social
contexts. This is sometimes known as the Sociological Perspective (or the Sociological
Imagination) , because in order to understand the social causes of human behavior, sociologists
typically must adopt a way of thinking that differs from how most people see the world (Mills,
1959). Humans are by nature social beings; we cannot survive unless we interact with other
humans. But our interactions are not random, they are shaped by our relationships with others,
by our cultural values and beliefs, by the rules of institutions we participate in, and by our
experiences in previous interactions, among other influences (Bellah, Madsen, Sullivan, Swidler
& Tipton, 1991). Through interaction, we create the terms of these social structures―the

CMS-02142.0 Introduction2.1 Objectives
The system test plan for the Card Czar Android Application will support the following objectives:
1. Identify responsible persons for quality assurance, test management and testing tasks
2. Define the test plan and testing methods involved
3. Identify resource information for test plan development 2.2 Background
The Card Czar Android application is a spin-off of the popular board game Apples to Apples. The purpose of the software test plan is to identify key aspects of software verification and requirements validation. Comment by Admin: Based on project plan comments maybe we should provide a short synopsis of how the game/app will work?
The Card Czar is an android application multiplayer card game that can deliver hours of fun. It allows a user to create a new game room and invite friends to play with them. For a game to begin there must be at least 3 players. Once a game is started each player is dealt at random a hand of response cards that will contain a noun (or response) on them. After all players are given the response cards a dealer will be randomly chosen to start the game. The dealer (card baron) will draw a bait card that consists of an adjective (or other text to be responded to). Each player then selects from their cards a noun that they think the dealer will choose as the best response to the question. Once all responses are received the dealer (Card Baron) then picks the answer they like the best and the player whose response it was gets a point and becomes the dealer (Card Baron) for the next round. This continues until a player has reached 5 points and becomes the winner (the Card Czar).
Maximum players: 6
Minimum players: 3
Bait cards: (Adjective/Question Options)
Response cards: (Noun/Answer Options)2.3 Scope
2.3.1 In Scope
The Card Czar Test Plan defines the unit, integration and acceptance testing. The test plan will include the following:
1. Testing of all interfaces between Android application modules
2. Testing of all quality requirements
3. Security test.
Software Training ProgramABC Company has 50,000 employees and wa.docx
Software Training Program
ABC Company has 50,000 employees and wants to increase employee productivity by setting
up an internal software applications training program. The training program will teach employees how to use Microsoft software programs such as Vista, Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Access 2010, and Project 2010. Courses will be offered in the evenings and
on Saturdays and taught by qualified volunteer employees. Instructors will be paid $40 per
hour. In the past, employees were sent to courses offered by local vendors during company
time. In contrast, this internal training program should save the company money on training
as well as make people more productive. The Human Resources department will manage the
program, and any employee can take the courses. Employees will receive a certificate for completing
courses, and a copy will be put in their personnel files. The company is not sure which
vendor's off-the-shelf training materials to use. The company needs to set up a training classroom,
survey employees on desired courses, find qualified volunteer instructors, and start offering
courses. The company wants to offer the first courses within six months. One person
from Human Resources is assigned full time to manage this project, and top management has
pledged its support.
1. Project Scope Management
Create a WBS for this project and enter the tasks in Project 201 0. Create milestones
and summary tasks. Assume that some of the project management tasks you need
to do are similar to tasks from the Project Tracking Database example. Some of the
tasks specific to this project will be to:
a. Review off-the-shelf training materials from three major vendors and decide
which materials to use.
b. Negotiate a contract with the selected vendor for its materials.
c. Develop communications information about this new training program. Disseminate
the information via department meetings, e-mail, the company's intranet,
and flyers to all employees.
d. Create a survey to determine the number and type of courses needed and
employees' preferred times for taking courses.
e. Administer the survey.
f. Solicit qualified volunteers to teach the courses.
g.
h.
Review resumes, interview candidates for teaching the courses, and develop a
list of preferred instructors.
Coordinate with the Facilities department to build two classrooms with 20 personal
computers each, a teacher station, and an overhead projection system
(assume that Facilities will manage this part of the project).
i. Schedule courses.
j. Develop a fair system for signing up for classes.
k. Develop a course evaluation form to assess the usefulness of each course and
the instructor's teaching ability.
I. Offer classes.
2. Project Time Management
a. Enter realistic durations for each task and then link appropriate tasks. Be sure
that all tasks are linked in some fashion to the start and end of the project. Use
the Project Tracking Database as an example. Assume that you have six mont.
Soft skills are most often characterized as the personal attribu.docx
Soft skills are most often characterized as the personal attributes that make up the interpersonal and intrapersonal aspects of an individual. Soft skills can include attitude, manners, social skills, the ability to communicate, listen, delegate, resolve conflicts, work as a team player, adapt to change, and work hard.
The term “soft skills” is not an indication on their importance; in fact, it can be argued that soft skills are more important to character and success you might achieve. Soft skills are compared to, and more specifically complement, a person’s “hard skills” which are the specific skills required for a job. For example, the soft skills necessary for a leader in an organization would be vision, social skills, emotional intelligence, empathy, work ethic, communication, and flexibility while the hard skills would be execution, organization, knowledge of computer programs, a second language, planning, coordinating and a thorough understanding of the organization’s policies and procedures.
In the previous section, many soft skills have already been discussed. You practice a variety of soft skills every day as a matter of fact. They occur so naturally you may not even notice them or have never spent time to realize strengths that you regularly exhibit. Identifying your soft skills will give you talking point in interviews and in promotion discussions, as well as give you new goals and areas to improve upon.
Critical Soft Skills
The following is a list of primary soft skills that just about every employer is looking for from their staff. It is no means inclusive as soft skills refer to an often intangible set of abilities that to some degree are engrained in everyone. While the primary soft skills are generally agreed upon as important in any job capacity, there are countless others that are deemed imperative as well (See Module 3: Personal and Career Evaluation). Depending on the job or function you are performing, these may be just as imperative as the ones listed below but not as universal. Review the following and determine which areas are personal strengths and which are areas in need of improvement.
· Communication. Communication permeates just about every aspect of both personal and professional endeavors. It is associated with active listening, comprehension, and clear expression of thoughts and ideas. It includes oral, written, and non-verbal types. To improve your communication skills, focus on both what you are saying and how you are saying it, and always remember that receiving information is just as crucial as providing it so practice active listening instead of just thinking of what to say next.
· A Good Work Ethic. Your work ethic is the sum of your attitude, actions, and guiding values. It is how company leadership knows that you are trustworthy and have the best interests of the organization at heart. A good work ethic is demonstrated through your decisive behavior, motivation, and dedication. You cannot .

Phase 1 Project Outline
The project that our team is proposing is that of a mobile music application. This application will be a front end application that uses already in place internet services. The project involves. The mobile will contain free listening for radio and a paid listening subscription for user selected content. The application will be multiplatform based and be useable on iOS, Android, Windows 8.x. The application will also be integrated with social media sites such as Facebook and Google +, to name a few. There will be 6 phases for this project to include the following;
1. Pilot Application
2. Radio module
3. Subscription module
4. Social Media Module
5. Project CloseDevelopment Methodology
The development methodology will be that of Iterative/Incremental that allows for breaking up the project into small digestible chunks and is easy to understand. This method is similar to making small waterfalls out of each iteration of the software. This method allows for quick testing and customer feedback. This is best suited for small teams that support parallel coding and testing which will be used in this project. The ability to release the product in 90 to 120 days below budget is planned.Phase 2 Software Production
Requirements
The requirements gathering sessions will be completed by formal meetings, chat and email interaction. This will be done due to the various locations of the stakeholders and team members in this project. The original project inception and the requirements for the agreed upon project were gathered by email correspondence between the team members. The group leaded compiled a list of the initial requirements and this was discussed during a live chat meeting. The requirements are as follows;
· Initial pilot app (includes account creation)
· Player Module to include equalizer module ( Includes 5 bans of equalization)
· Radio module (search for music interest)
· Subscription module (create playlists, add music to library)
· Social media module
· Project close

Socometal Rewarding African WorkersBy Evalde Mutabazi and C. B.docx
Socometal: Rewarding African Workers
By: Evalde Mutabazi and C. Brooklyn Derr
It was a most unusual meeting at a local café in Dakar. Diop, a young Senegalese engineer who was educated at one of Frances’s elite engineering grandes ‘ecoles in Lyon, was meeting with N’Diaye, a model factory worker to whom other workers from his tribe often turned when there were personal or professional difficulties. N’Diaye was a chief’s son, but he didn’t belong to the union and he was not an official representative of any group within the factory.
Socometal is a metal container and can company. While multinational, this particular plant is a joint venture wherein 52 percent is owned by the French parent company and 48 percent is Senegalese. Over the last twenty years Socometal has grown in size from 150 to 800 employees and it has returns of about 400 million FCFA (African francs) or $144 million. The firm is often held up as a model in terms of its Africanization of management policies, whereby most managers are now West African with only 8-10 top managers coming from France.
During the meeting N’Diaye asked Diop if he would accept an agreement to pay each worker for two extra hours in exchange for a 30 percent increase in daily production levels. If so, N’Diaye would the guarantor for this target production level that would enable the company to meet the order in the shortest time period. “If you accept my offer,” he said with a smile, “we could even produce more. We are at 12,000 (units) a day, but we’ve never been confronted with this situation. I would never have made this proposal to Mr. Bernard but, if you agree today, I will see that the 20,000 (unit) level is reached as of tomorrow evening. I’ll ask each worker to find ways of going faster, to communicate this to the others and to help each other if they have problems…”
Mr. Olivier Bernard, a graduate of Ecole Centrale in Paris (one of Frances’s more prestigious engineering schools), was the French production manager, and Diop was the assistant production manager. Mr. Bernard was about 40 and had not succeeded at climbing the hierarchal ladder in the parent company. Some report that this was due to his tendency to be arrogant, uncommunicative and negative. His family lived in a very nice neighborhood in Marseille, and it was his practice to come to Dakar, precisely organize the work using various flowcharts, tell Diop exactly what was expected by a certain date and then return to France for periods of two to six weeks. This time he maintained that he had contracted a virus and needed to return for medical treatment.
Shortly before Mr. Bernard fell ill, Socometal agreed to a contract requiring them to reach in short time a volume of production never before achieved. Mr. Bernard, after having done a quick calculation, declared, “We’ll never get that from our workers--- c’est impossible!” After organizing as best he could, he left for Marseille.
Diop pondered what N’Diaye had propos.
Sociology and General Education [1964]By Robert Bierstedt.docx
Sociology and General Education:
[1964]
By Robert Bierstedt
Sociology has many uses that are alike unsung and unappreciated. Some of these uses pertain not to its function as an instrument in the acquisition of knowledge but to a rather different kind of function—its function in the course and process of education. I am inclined to think in fact, as I hope the following remarks will show, that sociology is one of the most valuable of all of the disciplines in the university curriculum and that one of its most distinctive virtues lies precisely and centrally in the realm of general education.
Those of us who are engaged in the sociological enterprise ourselves tend to think—perhaps inevitably—that sociology is for sociologists, or at least for those who want to become sociologists. In our colleges and universities, however, we teach sociology to many more than these. It has been estimated that only two per cent of undergraduate students major in sociology and that only three per cent of this statistically small figure go on to do graduate work in sociology. The vast majority, in short, study sociology with no vocational or professional purpose. They appear in our undergraduate classes and study our introductory texts either because sociology is required as a supplementary subject in a closely related curriculum or because it satisfies a social science requirement in a curriculum for which another science would do equally well. There are those in addition, we may suppose and hope, who study sociology without being required to do so because it satisfies some wayward or vagrant curiosity of their own, because it stimulates an intellectual interest, because it has its own intrinsic fascination. This paper examines some of the educational and cultural advantages that sociology has to offer these other groups of students, particularly the last, comprised of those who have no intention of making a career in the field and who have no professional requirement to satisfy. I propose to show, in short, that sociology has an important role to play in general education, a role that is wholly commensurate with and sometimes even superior to the roles played by such older disciplines as history, literature, and philosophy. I shall maintain that sociology has many virtues that contribute to the cultivation of the intellect and that it merits a high rank. therefore, among the liberal arts and sciences.
The Liberated Mind:
The first of the educational virtues of sociology is that, like all al the liberal arts, it liberates the student from the provincialism of time, place, and circumstance. One of the great disabilities al those who have been denied the benefits of education is their parochialism, their attachment to the narrow corner of earth wherein they dwell. These are the people—and unfortunately they are the vast majority of mankind—who retain throughout their lives a primitive loyalty to their initial culture. For the uneducated t1 initial culture .
Sociological Observation of a Sporting Event Student Name .docx
Sociological Observation of a Sporting Event
Student Name: Connie Hutson Event: Basketball Game Date of Observation: September 09,2012 CharacteristicObservations/CommentsSetting or
EnvironmentThe setting for the basketball game is at the Oklahoma arena. This indoor setting is incredibly lively, and all the components, such as the lighting, sound systems and the seating are well organized. ParticipantsThere are two teams competing for the Western Conference title. There is a great disparity in the ages of the participants, with the youngest player being 19 years of age whereas the oldest is 31 years of age. Many of the players, approximately 75%, are black whereas the rest are either White or Hispanic. I have observed that the game plays a major role in bridging the racial gap between the players, because they work harmoniously and seem to understand each other exceptionally well, regardless of their racial differences. Attendees/
FansThere are many attendees (approximately 30,000). Most of them are energetic, and the mood is exceptionally electrifying. There are various entertainers that are dancing and amusing people, before the game starts and during the short intervals, when the teams break in- between the quarters. Most of the fans are male which are from all age brackets; there is also a substantial number of females, especially young females below the age of 30. There are also some media personalities who have come to provide coverage of the event. Dress/Attire/
StyleThe players have their matching shorts and sleeveless t-shirts. Most of the fans are dressed in casual sporting attire, most notably- tracksuits and t-shirts. Behaviors ObservedThe fans are very buoyant and intermittently resort to singing and chanting to motivate their team. There is also a high level of interaction, with fans supporting the same event. Through watching this sport, I have come to the realization that basketball is a unifying sport. The fans, although they do not know each other, interact with each other as they share the proceedings of the game. Ambiance/
AtmosphereThe atmosphere is incredibly dynamic, with the fans cheering their teams, and singing songs of praise whenever their teams make a basket. Apart from the fans, there are also a number of female entertainers dancing and performing for the crowd during the intermissions. SymbolsThere are many symbols inherent in this basketball game. The referee mainly uses hand symbols, to inform the players and the fans of decisions unfolding, as the game continues. The fans have also come with many banners showing support for their teams. Other
ObservationsThere is some distinctive knowledge and/or language that characterize this sport. Most of the fans, as well as all the players, are familiar with the language, which includes a number of rules that govern the game.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
