2. Describe the functionalist view of social stratification, and the conflict theory's view of social stratification. Then take a pro or con position on each of the following three points: first, social stratification is necessary for societies to exist and prosper; second, the United States functions, overall, as a meritocracy; and third, human beings-driven as they are by human nature-are incapable of ever creating and/or living in a classless society.

Third Essay:
Learning to Write about Difference
READING
:
Rereading America
, from chapter five:
Parrillo, “Causes of Prejudice”
Fredrickson, “Models of American Ethnic relations: A Historical Perspective”
Harris and Carbado, “Loot or Find:
Fact or Frame?”
Kaplan, “Barack Obama:
“Miles Traveled, Miles to Go”
CONTEXT
:
Making arguments in our lives usually means persuading an audience; often it means, if it is a real argument, addressing a group that is not completely open to hearing and understanding our point of view.
This assignment will address two issues:
·
Building an argument using convincing textual evidence
·
Writing in order to persuade an unsympathetic argument
THE ASSIGNMENT
:
Chapter 5 in Rereading America addresses the history and present realities of the tensions that have surrounded, and still surround, racial and ethnic differences in the United States.
We can broaden the range of this topic to include areas of class, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and political affiliation, at the least.
Each of these categories, including race, are populated by groups we could call “others”—groups that both are seen by the majority culture as being somehow “outside” and are viewed by the majority culture with a degree of suspicion.
In a four-and-a-half to five page, double-spaced, 12-point typeface essay, argue for how some of the ideas in TWO of the essays in chapter 5 of
Rereading America
apply to ONE of these groups of “others” of your choosing. Define the group carefully. Write to an audience who would doubt the validity of your topic, the book’s texts, and your argument. If you choose to write about an “other” that is defined by race or ethnicity, be specific in naming this group (e.g., Korean, or mixed-race, or Persian).
For example, I might take the arguments in Harris and Carbado’s essay and apply them to similar thought patterns I see in Orange County about people whom the majority culture in the OC might consider “others”—those out of the cultural mainstream. Perhaps I would select French people as my group of others. I could talk about how Orange Countians see French speaking people suspiciously—people who spend too much time thinking about food. This would be a fairly silly paper, but I could nonetheless choose this topic.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
: Read all four essays and the discussion board entries on the essays. Try choosing the focus of your essay by writing about ideas from the essays that strongly affect you; don’t start out with a particular group in mind. Once you have identified interesting ideas, then think about a group of “others.”
AUDIENCE
: Each of the assigned essays from
Rereading America
for this assignment are written for audiences that likely will not agree with the respective writer’s ideas. Note the following areas in both the essays you read, and in constructing your own essays:

Lesson 2 RACISM as a Literary Theory.pptx
This document provides an overview of critical race theory (CRT) as a literary theory and criticism approach. It defines CRT as examining how race and racism appear in cultural expressions. The document outlines six basic tenets of CRT, including that racism is ordinarily difficult to address, advances the interests of both white elites and working-class whites, and that race is a social construct rather than biological. It also notes that minority writers may be able to communicate matters to white people in a unique voice of color. Various activities are presented to help students analyze texts and situations using CRT.
Tw 3.2 theoretical approaches
This document discusses several theoretical approaches to writing instruction:
1) Current-traditional rhetoric views writing and knowledge objectively, focusing on surface errors. This ignores writing as a process and knowledge as transactional.
2) Expressivism sees knowledge as subjective, valuing creativity and expression. However, it ignores social aspects of learning and knowledge.
3) Social construction views knowledge as created through social interaction, emphasizing collaboration and discourse communities.
4) Cultural studies and postcolonial approaches see writing and rhetoric as part of civic participation and seek to incorporate marginalized perspectives.
And John Theory of Justice.docx
J.S. Mill's and John Rawls' theories of justice are to be discussed in short essay responses using citations from course materials and readings, with each essay being at least one single-spaced page. The first essay is to discuss J.S. Mill's understanding of human nature and rationality in his approach to liberty, referencing his views on individuality. The second essay is to explain how John Rawls' Theory of Justice builds on social contract theory and draws from Kant, specifically discussing two of the concepts of public reason, original position, veil of ignorance, primary goods, universal moral standards, liberty, moral autonomy, comprehensive background and overlapping consensus.

Find a newspaper article, online or physical paper, and identify the structural functionalist, social conflict, and symbolic interctionist view of the social issue that is discussed in the article. Think about how each of these perspectives view society. You can get this from your reading of the text. For example, structural functionalists view society as social harmony with a high degree of social order with the institutions meeting their manifest and latent functions, all for the good of society, compared to conflict theorists, which view society as an arena of social inequality; dominant and subordinate groups, competing for scarce resources. In comparison, a symbolic interactinist may view society based upon symbolic meaning, labeling and social construction and the interaction with others in society.

This document provides instructions for a research paper assignment. Students must write a 4-5 page paper developing an argument on one of five topics provided. They must use one primary source to introduce their topic in the introduction. The body of the paper requires at least three secondary sources to support and expand on the thesis. Topics range from individual liberty versus social equality to types of political activism to the myth of the "vanishing Indian."
Answers to media questions
The document summarizes questions from the media about the author's Nuclear Counterarguments Essay Series. The author is a Canadian who writes the series to "remedy America from the affliction of liberalism." He believes contemporary liberalism results from societal conditioning and paranoia that drives liberals to attempt creating a safe collectivist utopia at the expense of individual liberty. The essay series aims to dispense with this paranoia by rediscovering the American value of individual liberty.
Part 1Primary readings for this module deal with three cases of.docx
Part 1:
Primary readings for this module deal with three cases of NRMs that ended in violence: the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, and the UFO cult, Heaven's Gate. As you read these documents, think about wether you can identify the factors that Dawson argues predispose an NRM to violence.
· In the three case studies (the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate), what was the role of apocalyptic thinking in their violent end?
· In the three case studies (the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate), what was the role of charismatic leadership in their violent end?
Part 2:
Write a brief (200 word essay) on only 2 of the following five essay topics:
1. What are some of the stereotypes about people who join NRMs? Why do you think such stereotypes develop?
2. In chapter three, Dawson reframes the problem of the rise of NRMs during the late 1960s and ‘70s using the admittedly highly abstract theories of sociologist Anthony Giddens. Summarize Dawson’s use of Giddens in your own words. How is this approach different from Dawson’s account of the importance of the social context for the rise of NRMs presented earlier in the chapter?
3. Based on the discussion in Dawson, briefly outline William McLoughlin’s theory of periodic religious revivals in the United States. What does McLoughlin think about the prospect of future revivals?
4. Pick three of the demographic categories that scholars have applied to NRMs and discuss and evaluate the theories scholars have given for their findings in each category (e.g. the youth of most NRM converts is due to the fact that this is a time when people lack real world responsibilities).
5. Are sociologists of religion justified in ignoring or discounting the reasons members give for joining an NRM in favor of unconscious motivations?
Part 3:
Write a brief (200 word essay) on only 2 of the following four ssay topics:
1. Pick three of Dawson’s arguments against the reality of brainwashing in NRMs, outline his claims, and based on what you know, evaluate his arguments.
2. Why do some NRMs focus on sex and the regulation of their members’ sexuality as important? How is this different than mainstream religious movements?
3. Should society at large be especially concerned with expressions of sexuality among consenting adults within new religious movements?
4. At the end of chapter six, Dawson presents the work of Angela Aidala and others that give another, perhaps more positive interpretation for why more women than men join NRMs. Outline Aidala et al. line of argument? How is this different from the other theory of gender disparity presented earlier in the chapter (and reproduced in the mini-lecture above).

This paper should be between 1250 and 1500 words, and submitted double-spaced, in 12-point font,
with each page numbered. The pages should be stapled together and compiled in this order:
A. Please fill in the cover page included below and put it as your first page.
B. As the second page, please include a copy of the rubric, with check marks in the boxes that you
think reflect the quality of your work. You may include comments to explain your reasoning.
This will help section leaders and me to understand if there have been issues with the clarity of
the assignment and expectations.
C. Your completed paper.
You are not expected to do any outside research or reading, but you can cite arguments, ideas, and
examples from lecture and optional, recommended readings. References to material from readings or
lecture and any short direct quotations must be properly cited. All work, wording, and ideas that are
not cited must be your own. You may choose any one of the following citation formats: APA, MLA, or
either Chicago style, but please use it consistently. Information on these formats is available here:
http://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/citations/citationwhich. If you are using in-text citations, then you must
provide a bibliography at the end listing the sources you have cited.
Prompts and Structure
Please choose one of the two prompts below. You should provide an introductory paragraph about your
chosen topic, present a thesis statement, and then write several paragraphs providing examples and
elaborating on these to support your thesis. You should then have one or two concluding paragraphs
restating your argument and making a case for its significance.
Prompt 1. Colonialism entails a nation or state invading the territory of another nation and ruling in the
colonizers' own interests, rather than those of the local people. Some anti-colonial activists believed that
nonviolence was the best way to end colonial rule and achieve autonomy or independence. Others
argued that colonialism could only be defeated through violent struggle. Is violence justified in fighting
against colonial rule? Why or why not? Formulate an argument and support it using examples, from
readings and lecture, of authors’ arguments and real-world cases.
Prompt 2. In a postcolonial setting, how do new governments try to organize society? Cosmopolitanism
holds that all people are part of a single global community and so its followers advocate inclusion and
cooperation across political borders and differences of identity. Nationalists, while they may sometimes
cooperate across borders, believe that political and social systems should be organized on the basis of
group identity, as opposed to having a more integrated, pluralistic society. Compare and contrast the
cosmopolitan and nationalist pos ...
Systematizing metaphors
This document discusses conceptual metaphors and their properties. It defines conceptual metaphors as describing abstract concepts through more concrete domains, not individual words. It discusses how conceptual metaphors have a source and target domain, with mappings between corresponding elements. Common types are structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. Conceptual metaphors tend to be systematic, with one source domain mapping to multiple targets or vice versa. They highlight some aspects and hide others. Many are grounded in basic human experiences. The document provides examples and has students analyze metaphors in groups to identify these characteristics.

Abortion And The Right To Not Be Pregnant (2016)
This document discusses Judith Thomson's 1971 article "A Defense of Abortion" and its significance in launching philosophical debate about abortion. It summarizes that Thomson's article used novel examples, like connecting the reader to the experience of pregnancy through a thought experiment, and an informal second-person style that drew many women into philosophy. The article energized the new field of "practical ethics" examining real-world issues and helped legal debates around the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision regarding abortion laws in the US.

Part I. Short Essay (60% for Part I, 20% per question). Answer three of the following five questions
(suggested length: 2 paragraphs each; est. time for this section: 35-40 mins).
1. According to Weber and Marx, why do people participate in capitalism? What are the main differences in their views?
2. Marx argued that capitalism has two main types of circulation: C-M-C and M-C-M’. How do these two types of circulation explain the widening inequality between workers (the proletariat) and capitalists (the bourgeoisie)?
3. Marx argued that the economic base of a society is the most important cause of the superstructure (the realm of ideas, culture, and the government). Does Du Bois agree, disagree, or both? How?
4. Smith and Marx both saw the division of labor as a key element of capitalism. Define the division of labor. Describe one way in which Smith and Marx agree about the consequences of the division of labor and one way in which Smith and Marx disagree about the consequences of the division of labor.

IIA- FROM W. E. B. DU BOIS, BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA
“The theory of laboring class unity rests upon the assumption that laborers, despite internal jealousies, will unite because of their opposition to exploitation by the capitalists. According to this, even after a part of the poor white laboring class became identified with the planters, and eventually displaced them, their interests would be diametrically opposed to those of the mass of white labor, and of course to those of the black laborers. This would throw white and black labor into one class, and precipitate a united fight for higher wage and better working conditions. Most persons do not realize how far this failed to work in the South, and it failed to work because the theory of race was supplemented by a carefully planned and slowly evolved method, which drove such a wedge between the white and black workers that there probably are not today in the world two groups of workers with practically identical interests who hate and fear each other so deeply and persistently and who are kept so far apart that neither sees anything of common interest. It must be remembered that the white group of laborers, while they received a low wage, were compensated in part by a sort of public and psychol ...

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below.
Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically,
a) Describe their beliefs about this issue – are they in favor, opposed? More importantly, what arguments do they give to support their position?
b) Describe the specific changes they propose to address this issue. You will need to research and describe several policies or ideas for reform, including recent laws (state and federa.

Introduction to Sociology
Instructor: Glenna L. Simons
GUIDELINES FOR PAPER ONE
Paper One will consist of two parts. PART I should be a contrast/comparison of each of the three major sociological perspectives discussed in class. Please compare/contrast each of the three on the basis of the image of society offered by each, the image of social change, the fundamental elements and questions asked by sociologists within each perspective. Also mention the major classic theorists and some of their contributions. Please discuss how each of the perspectives reflects the time and place in which the theorists were writing, putting their ideas into a social and historical context.
PART II will consist of the APPLICATION part of the paper. Choose some social phenomena (marriage, homelessness, crime , video games--could be ANYTHING that relates to human behavior) and then describe how a sociologist from each of the three perspectives would go about studying the phenomena from that particular perspective. What sorts of questions might he or she ask? How would the phenomena be viewed, what aspects would the sociologist be interested in?
Papers should be 5 to 7 pages in length. You should refer to portions of the text, readings, and/or class notes when describing concepts (and be sure to include a reference page). Citation style may be APA, MLA, or any other format you are familiar with (or that is required for your particular major). Criteria for grading the papers are as follows:
1. Paper must be well written and well organized--it may be helpful to break it down into sections.
2. Responsiveness--don’t just strive to “fill pages”--make sure to respond to the requirements of the assignment, and you will easily have enough pages.
3. Creativity/originality--Expand your mind! Be creative in the examples you use, and/or in the way you apply the theories.
4. Use of text materials and class notes--Good papers will weave together the concepts in the books with “real life” examples. Again, have a reference page.

Three Theoretical Frameworks
Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, & Symbolic Interaction
I. STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM
A MACRO level theory –Focuses on large scale structures and institutions
Views a “society” as a “whole” consisting of interdependent and interrelated “parts.” The parts serve “functions” for the benefit of the whole.
One could envision the “parts” of a society as the different social institutions, social classes, or social groups—or, we could even envision PEOPLE as the parts!
Structural functionalists are interested in how to maintain social ORDER and STABILITY.
Image of Society: A living ORGANISM, with each part of the organism fulfilling a vital function for the whole
Image of Social change: Social changes proceeds in a gradual, linear, adaptive fashion—EVOLUTIONARY!
Fundamental Elements: Society is based upon SHARED VALUES—wh.

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorica.docx
Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are:
Logical/rational
Moral/ethical
Emotional
Other rhetorical modes only operate on the logical/rational level. As you study READ3, notice and think about how Jefferson, Lincoln, King, and Hughes use Argumentation and Persuasion while satisfying the three “Levels of Appeal.” Then, in the discussion board
Discuss the issues you find in these writers that you feel are most important today.

The document summarizes questions from the media about the author's Nuclear Counterarguments Essay Series. The author is a Canadian who writes the series to "remedy America from the affliction of liberalism." He believes contemporary liberalism results from societal conditioning and paranoia that drives liberals to attempt creating a safe collectivist utopia at the expense of individual liberty. The essay series aims to dispense with this paranoia by rediscovering the American value of individual liberty.
Part 1Primary readings for this module deal with three cases of.docx
Part 1:
Primary readings for this module deal with three cases of NRMs that ended in violence: the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, and the UFO cult, Heaven's Gate. As you read these documents, think about wether you can identify the factors that Dawson argues predispose an NRM to violence.
· In the three case studies (the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate), what was the role of apocalyptic thinking in their violent end?
· In the three case studies (the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate), what was the role of charismatic leadership in their violent end?
Part 2:
Write a brief (200 word essay) on only 2 of the following five essay topics:
1. What are some of the stereotypes about people who join NRMs? Why do you think such stereotypes develop?
2. In chapter three, Dawson reframes the problem of the rise of NRMs during the late 1960s and ‘70s using the admittedly highly abstract theories of sociologist Anthony Giddens. Summarize Dawson’s use of Giddens in your own words. How is this approach different from Dawson’s account of the importance of the social context for the rise of NRMs presented earlier in the chapter?
3. Based on the discussion in Dawson, briefly outline William McLoughlin’s theory of periodic religious revivals in the United States. What does McLoughlin think about the prospect of future revivals?
4. Pick three of the demographic categories that scholars have applied to NRMs and discuss and evaluate the theories scholars have given for their findings in each category (e.g. the youth of most NRM converts is due to the fact that this is a time when people lack real world responsibilities).
5. Are sociologists of religion justified in ignoring or discounting the reasons members give for joining an NRM in favor of unconscious motivations?
Part 3:
Write a brief (200 word essay) on only 2 of the following four ssay topics:
1. Pick three of Dawson’s arguments against the reality of brainwashing in NRMs, outline his claims, and based on what you know, evaluate his arguments.
2. Why do some NRMs focus on sex and the regulation of their members’ sexuality as important? How is this different than mainstream religious movements?
3. Should society at large be especially concerned with expressions of sexuality among consenting adults within new religious movements?
4. At the end of chapter six, Dawson presents the work of Angela Aidala and others that give another, perhaps more positive interpretation for why more women than men join NRMs. Outline Aidala et al. line of argument? How is this different from the other theory of gender disparity presented earlier in the chapter (and reproduced in the mini-lecture above).

Abortion And The Right To Not Be Pregnant (2016)
This document discusses Judith Thomson's 1971 article "A Defense of Abortion" and its significance in launching philosophical debate about abortion. It summarizes that Thomson's article used novel examples, like connecting the reader to the experience of pregnancy through a thought experiment, and an informal second-person style that drew many women into philosophy. The article energized the new field of "practical ethics" examining real-world issues and helped legal debates around the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision regarding abortion laws in the US.

IIA- FROM W. E. B. DU BOIS, BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA
“The theory of laboring class unity rests upon the assumption that laborers, despite internal jealousies, will unite because of their opposition to exploitation by the capitalists. According to this, even after a part of the poor white laboring class became identified with the planters, and eventually displaced them, their interests would be diametrically opposed to those of the mass of white labor, and of course to those of the black laborers. This would throw white and black labor into one class, and precipitate a united fight for higher wage and better working conditions. Most persons do not realize how far this failed to work in the South, and it failed to work because the theory of race was supplemented by a carefully planned and slowly evolved method, which drove such a wedge between the white and black workers that there probably are not today in the world two groups of workers with practically identical interests who hate and fear each other so deeply and persistently and who are kept so far apart that neither sees anything of common interest. It must be remembered that the white group of laborers, while they received a low wage, were compensated in part by a sort of public and psychol ...

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below.
Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically,
a) Describe their beliefs about this issue – are they in favor, opposed? More importantly, what arguments do they give to support their position?
b) Describe the specific changes they propose to address this issue. You will need to research and describe several policies or ideas for reform, including recent laws (state and federa.
Collective identity essay tips
This document provides tips for an exam on collective identity. It outlines four potential exam questions focusing on media representation of groups and the social implications. It advises introducing the chosen collective identity of African American males and females. The tips suggest applying theories to case studies through analysis rather than just describing. Examples should be used to show how representations affect the social group. Each paragraph should point to evidence, explain it, and link back to the question. Grading boundaries are also provided.
Introduction to SociologyInstructor Glenna L. SimonsGUIDEL.docx
Introduction to Sociology
Instructor: Glenna L. Simons
GUIDELINES FOR PAPER ONE
Paper One will consist of two parts. PART I should be a contrast/comparison of each of the three major sociological perspectives discussed in class. Please compare/contrast each of the three on the basis of the image of society offered by each, the image of social change, the fundamental elements and questions asked by sociologists within each perspective. Also mention the major classic theorists and some of their contributions. Please discuss how each of the perspectives reflects the time and place in which the theorists were writing, putting their ideas into a social and historical context.
PART II will consist of the APPLICATION part of the paper. Choose some social phenomena (marriage, homelessness, crime , video games--could be ANYTHING that relates to human behavior) and then describe how a sociologist from each of the three perspectives would go about studying the phenomena from that particular perspective. What sorts of questions might he or she ask? How would the phenomena be viewed, what aspects would the sociologist be interested in?
Papers should be 5 to 7 pages in length. You should refer to portions of the text, readings, and/or class notes when describing concepts (and be sure to include a reference page). Citation style may be APA, MLA, or any other format you are familiar with (or that is required for your particular major). Criteria for grading the papers are as follows:
1. Paper must be well written and well organized--it may be helpful to break it down into sections.
2. Responsiveness--don’t just strive to “fill pages”--make sure to respond to the requirements of the assignment, and you will easily have enough pages.
3. Creativity/originality--Expand your mind! Be creative in the examples you use, and/or in the way you apply the theories.
4. Use of text materials and class notes--Good papers will weave together the concepts in the books with “real life” examples. Again, have a reference page.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN WITH THIS ---GET CREATIVE! J
Three Theoretical Frameworks
Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, & Symbolic Interaction
I. STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM
A MACRO level theory –Focuses on large scale structures and institutions
Views a “society” as a “whole” consisting of interdependent and interrelated “parts.” The parts serve “functions” for the benefit of the whole.
One could envision the “parts” of a society as the different social institutions, social classes, or social groups—or, we could even envision PEOPLE as the parts!
Structural functionalists are interested in how to maintain social ORDER and STABILITY.
Image of Society: A living ORGANISM, with each part of the organism fulfilling a vital function for the whole
Image of Social change: Social changes proceeds in a gradual, linear, adaptive fashion—EVOLUTIONARY!
Fundamental Elements: Society is based upon SHARED VALUES—wh.

Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorica.docx
Argument and Persuasion is a somewhat more challenging rhetorical mode to employ (than description or cause and effect) because it has to function successfully on three levels simultaneously. These are called the three “Levels of Appeal.” The levels are:
Logical/rational
Moral/ethical
Emotional
Other rhetorical modes only operate on the logical/rational level. As you study READ3, notice and think about how Jefferson, Lincoln, King, and Hughes use Argumentation and Persuasion while satisfying the three “Levels of Appeal.” Then, in the discussion board

prevent movie piracy by…, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for
at least three strong
arguments
in addition to a
counterargument and refutation

Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would
be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Movie piracy is
unethical because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add
counterargument focus).”
Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the
counterargument

Apply the reading on the MyArtsLab Closer Look at “Édouard Manet,
Olympia
,” The image of Manet's "Olympia" may at first appear to be nothing more than another painting like so many using many images and symbols to depict some element of higher culture. But if one were to take the time and look at Titian's "Venus of Urbino", you would realize Manet's work is making specific reference to this painting with a strong social commentary about the morals and values of the times and the way in which poverty have taken its toll on the poor in Paris.
Art continues to be a powerful force in drawing attention to social issues. For your discussion topic, briefly identify one instance in present-day culture where an individual communicated a social message in the form of a painting, film, commercial, billboard, poster, or any other visual mode of communication. Analyze your selection and describe the visual message represented.

Volunteers: Roles and Relationships
Board Governance & Volunteer Management
ASSIGNMENT DUE SUNDAY 3/15/20 8:00 pm NEW YORK TIME
APA format 1-3 pages within the references and in paper citations
Many nonprofit organizations cannot afford to employ staff for all the work that must be done to achieve organizational goals. Volunteers, then, are often integral contributors to organizational success. In order to ensure high volunteer retention, special care must be taken to design volunteer positions that are both interesting and meaningful to the volunteer and important to the organization.
Paid staff members are usually responsible for designing and delegating work to volunteers, so the relationship between the two groups is important. Volunteers need to know they are valued and appreciated for their contribution to the overall mission of the organization. Tensions arise when paid staff regard volunteers as somehow "less than" the staff or as an impediment to their getting their work done. The goal is for there to be a working relationship that satisfies the needs and desires of both groups.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review

Application Special Needs From a Variety of PerspectivesThroughou.docx
Application: Special Needs From a Variety of Perspectives
Throughout this course, you will be studying many topics related to children with special needs. The readings, content reviews, and Discussions will help you gain a valuable base of information. To expand your knowledge, the course Applications will offer ways to explore areas of special needs in more depth and increase your awareness of what it is like to teach and to parent a child with special needs, or to be someone who has been identified with a special need.
Before you begin the Week 1 Application, review the outline below in order to plan effectively.
Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services.
You will imagine yourself in the role of a Child Development Community Liaison for a nonprofit organization that provides programs related to infant/toddler healthy development. Your job is to create a brochure for infant/toddler program directors and caregivers informing them about your services.
Week 2: Interview with a Teacher or Caregiver.
You will have a choice of interviewing a teacher whose expertise is special education and who works with children ages 3–8, or a teacher or caregiver who has a child or children in his/her setting who have been identified with special needs.
Week 3: Research and Information Exchange, Part 1.
You will research a category of special needs that is of interest to you in order to gain a greater depth of knowledge.
Week 4: Research and Information Exchange, Part 2.
You will share, review, and reflect on fellow students' research on different categories of special needs.
Week 5: Interview with a Parent of a Child with Special Needs or with a Student or Adult with Special Needs.
You will have a choice of interviewing a parent or other close adult family member of a child with special needs, or a person with special needs who would like to share his or her experiences and perspectives.
Week 1: Write a Brochure on Early Intervention Services
As you have learned this week, early intervention services can include programs for infants and toddlers who may be at risk from biological or environmental issues that could lead to developmental delays or other special needs. One challenge to early intervention service providers is to ensure that they reach out and connect with families. All of the various types of infant and toddler programs in a community, including family day care homes, Early Start, faith-based programs, community organizations, can play an important role in connecting families to available early intervention services.
For your Application Assignment this week, imagine that you have been hired as a Child Development Community Liaison for a community organization called The Guidance Center Inc. In reality, this respected, not-for-profit organization serves the communities of Cambridge and Somerville in Massachusetts. As part of The Guidance Center's Early Childhood Services for ages 0–6 , their Infant-Toddler Services include four p.
Application Theoretical FrameworksEarlier weeks have focused on t.docx
Application: Theoretical Frameworks
Earlier weeks have focused on the importance of identifying and evaluating relevant scholarly literature, and then creating a synthesis that forms the literature review. In designing studies on social problems and in policy arenas, researchers build on these findings from earlier studies, often with new topics in the same or a related field, or with new populations, research design, or research methods.
This is described in your research text in the context of identifying elements to study, together with their relevance and relationships, as “investigators integrate their ideas, the observations of others, the research literature, and their own research” (O’Sullivan, Rassel, & Berner, 2008, p. 7). Just as scholarly researchers base their study designs on related research literature, so, too, must they investigate and apply various theories. Theories, in both researchers’ own and related disciplines, are built on and developed from earlier theories. In order to understand and be able to apply theories to research in public policy and administration, one must “appreciate the historical contexts through which it has developed and the cultural milieus during which important contributions were made to its body of ideas and knowledge” (Shafritz, Ott, & Jang, 2016, p. 2).
An illustration of the networks, connections, and processes among three theories in a theoretical framework will provide the visual that may help to stimulate your thinking about your work on a theoretical framework, and its relationship to your literature synthesis .
Examine the literature in your readings and search peer-reviewed journal articles, to analyze how the theoretical frameworks you are considering using have been used in other research. In 1–2 pages, justify your selection of the two theoretical frameworks you identified in this week’s Discussion. In what way are the theoretical frameworks applicable to your proposed research? Provide examples from the literature. Explain the appropriateness to public policy and administration.

Application The Civil Service SystemHow do public adminis.docx
Application: The Civil Service System
How do public administrators become public administrators? Who recruits, selects, and hires them? How are they paid, promoted, and evaluated? The civil service system is similar to the human resources (HR) department at a private organization. That is, it is concerned with all of the issues and tasks related to employment within the organization. Since the "organization" in this case is the government, there also are many differences between the civil service system and the human resources practices at most private companies. Government organizations have very specific, rigid processes for recruitment, selection, promotion, and appraisal of employees. Many of these processes have been in place since the 19th century. For example, prospective civil servants must pass exams before even being considered for a government position. This is part of the merit system, which is one of the foundational principles of the civil service system. The merit system is based on the idea that the most qualified person should fill each position, rather than a person who simply has the "right" political connections. In addition, government positions all are given a specific classification, which determines the rate of pay. Although these rules sound logical in theory, in practice they often become extremely complicated, leading to dishonesty and inefficiency. As a result, efforts at civil service reform are common and span throughout history, from the Pendleton Act of 1881, to President George W. Bush's push for competitive sourcing in 2001. In this assignment, you examine what the civil service system comprises, as well as how it might be improved.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
Due Thursday 6/11/2015
In your own words, define the civil service system.
Explain the major components of the civil service system.
Explain one way in which you might improve the civil service system.
Explain why you would choose to implement this improvement and what its positive results might be.

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.
