Assignment Goal
The goal of the assignment is to strengthen scientific thinking and writing. The
objective is for each student to write an objective, logical, fact-based paper using
evidence from high quality scientific research sources.
Topics
In general terms, your paper can examine selected consequences of social
inequality. Throughout your textbook, the author presents examples of how social
class impacts the lives of people. Some obvious examples are health, including
mental and physical illness, or parent’s social class and children’s educational
attainment. Each of the chapters on the major social classes examines the behaviors
and consequences of that class. Your paper could explore on of these issues in
greater detail. We are also seeing that race and gender are deeply interrelated with
social inequality. You could dig deeper into one of the problems or issues identified in
the book, or you could pursue some other thesis that links social inequality and race
or gender. The paper could be based on the work of Karl Marx and would use mostly
Marx’s writings.
The Major Social Factors
• Social class
• Gender
• Race/ethnicity
• Age
Your Paper Must Have A Thesis!
Your research paper must have a thesis. At the beginning of the paper, you must
state your research thesis. It can be part of a short introductory paragraph or it can
stand alone.
The following explanations include materials that are courtesy of Empire State
College, Online Writing Center.
www.esc.edu/online-writing-center/resources/research/research-paper-steps/
Research Topic
When you start working on your paper, you begin by selecting a topic. A topic is
what the essay or research paper is about. It provides a focus for your writing.
Choose an appropriate topic or issue for your research, one that actually can be
researched. Many topics can be found in your textbook. Example: “Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)”
Research Question
The next step in developing a thesis is to formulate a research question. Start by
listing all of the questions that you'd like answered yourself. (This assumes you are
curious about the topic!) Choose the best question, one that is neither too broad nor
too narrow. In the early stages of your research, you can use a search engine to
learn about the question and explore what high quality sources are available.
Sometimes the number of sources you find will help you discover whether your
2
research question is too broad, too narrow. Example: “Why have ADHD diagnoses
risen so rapidly in recent years?”
Research Thesis
A research thesis is your proposed answer to your research question, which you
finalize only after completing the research. (It's okay to modify and revise the
working thesis as you research more about the topic or issue.) Thesis example: “The
rise of A.D.H.D. diagnoses and prescriptions for stimulants coincided with a twodecade
campaign by pharmaceutical companies to publicize the ...

Research Question andCitations
The Research Presentation begins with a research question and a bibliographic search. You should identify 2 to 4 studies that address the same research question. Please send your References to me with citations written in APA style --see APA Manual of Style, 6th ed. -- no later than the date listed in the Calendar. I will use your Research Question to peruse the titles to make sure they look like original reports of empirical studies that are all on the same research question, and I will do an APA check on one of your citations. No grade will be taken; however, part of your presentation grade depends on using appropriate articles and writing your References page in APA style. If you are in doubt about whether a study is an "original report of an empirical study," feel free to attach it to the Citations and RQ email. Please start early on this assignment and plan to spend several hours searching for the right kind of articles that are all on the same research question. If you need assistance with APA style, please consult the Kail and Cavanaugh text References for many examples of APA-style reference citations.
A sampling of possible topics is listed here, but please feel free to examine other topics of interest. It helps to define your topic in terms of the “effects of X on Y in Z population.” For example:

RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES | ENGLISH G110
Length: 2000 words (not counting Works Cited page).
Due: December 16, 2022
For your final paper you will write a research paper on Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Your
argument will be part of a feminist, psychoanalytic, or postcolonial critical discussion of the text.
You are required to use six secondary sources, four of which are on the novel itself.
The basic process involved in writing a research paper in literature is no different than other kinds
of research papers. Begin with an area of interest, ask questions sparked by that interest, and
formulate a working hypothesis as a response to one or more of those questions.
TOPIC & THESIS
The better you know the text, the easier it will be to find a topic. I highly advise rereading the text
and writing down ideas as you read. Pay attention to recurring themes; ask questions that prompt
and guide further inquiry. To begin your inquiry, use the questions in our critical theory text. One or
more of those questions might lead you to a specific hypothesis of your own, or you might find that
the text allows for an entirely different psychoanalytic or postcolonial reading.
When you have a hypothesis (one that you’ll refine into a strong thesis), start gathering sources.
Begin with searches specific to your topic, and broaden them until you have a sufficient number of
secondary sources to review.
The goal of the research is, first, for you to see how your hypothesis fits into the critical discussion
of your topic. You’ll find that much has been said about the topic, in which case you will need to ask
yourself how you can add to the discussion. You might agree with critics, but come to your
conclusion through different analyses, or you might disagree and make that disagreement your
thesis. It’s also possible that there is very little (or no) critical discussion of your specific topic. In
that case, you are exploring new territory and offering new ways of understanding the text.
The second goal of the research is for you to introduce the critical discussion as context for your
now refined thesis and to continue that discussion throughout your essay, quoting and paraphrasing
criticism wherever it relates to your main ideas.
SOURCES
Primary sources are the literary works themselves, such as Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Secondary sources
are works that analyze and interpret primary sources or provide relevant information. For this paper,
you are required to use six secondary sources. Four of your sources must discuss the novel itself.
Your other sources might be used for relevant contextual information, relevant concepts, etc. All of
your sources must be scholarly (scholarly books or scholarly articles).
As a student, you have access to a variety of databases through the library website. Use these
databases to search for scholarly articles.
Scholarly articles are written by scholars and experts in a particu.

Information Technology, Computer Networks and CyberspaceKizza (201.docxwiddowsonerica
Information Technology, Computer Networks and Cyberspace
Kizza (2014) largely treated cyber-attacks as “cybercrime,” conveying the assumption that these attacks are by definition illegitimate and criminal. However, he occasionally seems to recognize that there might be motives that are more ambiguous and may have a social, moral, or political basis. Lessig (2006) also referred to Internet hacker ethic as rebellious and libertarian and not always criminal in a moral sense. One example cited by Kizza (2014) is the Seattle WTO protest and mass computer attacks that are “increasingly being used to avenge what the attackers consider to be injustices” (p. 97). Another example we discussed was the Stratfor attack. Also, recently we see many examples of cyber security invasions by governments and corporations.
Search the Internet to find an example of a hacking activity or situation that represents a morally, ethically, or criminally ambiguous situation but is different from any examples you used in other assignments for this course.
Write a critical essay that addresses the following items:
Cite and briefly describe your example.
Apply what you have learned from the course to this point to identify arguments both in support of and critical of the behavior of the attackers.
Describe and explain the relationships among morality, ethics, law, and crime as they intersect in the case example that you have found.
Cite Winner’s “Do Artifacts Have Politics?” to identify and explain the political, moral, and ethical choices and consequences that may be embedded in technical choices and artifacts described in your example.
Discuss and cite the article “Do Artifacts Have Politics?”, the source of your example, and at least one additional credible or scholarly source other than the course textbook to support your analysis and positions. You may cite the course textbooks as well if you wish. Use standards and APA style guidelines, citing references as appropriate. Your paper should be two to three pages in length. Before submitting your final version, be sure to submit a draft version to the TurnItIn Checker.

Information to use for paperStep 1 Select your topic and focus.docxwiddowsonerica
Information to use for paper:
Step 1: Select your topic and focus question! Read the topics from the list on page 2 of this document and choose the topic and focus that interests you. Fill out the box below.
What’s your topic and focus question?
Topic:
This Land is My Land
Focus Question:
Evaluate the impact of the Pequot War on either the Europeans or Natives.
Step 2: In 50 words or more, state why you chose the topic and focus question that you chose. It could be how the topic is of interest to you and that you have studied it previously, or it could be a subject that you want to learn more about something of which you do not have knowledge.
I opted for “This Land is My Land” topic due to my insightful interest to explore historical events related to patriotism and balancing power between Europeans and Natives in situations such as trade negotiations. The trade aspect drove me to be specific on the focus question that need to address the impacts of Pequot War to Europeans and Natives. In this case, the contact of both had profound effect where balance of power shifted overnight from natives to Europeans. My choice is therefore grounded on the enthusiasm to discover more knowledge into this particular aspect.
Step 3: List the two primary source and two secondary sources that you have chosen in the boxes below.
Source Type
Source Name
Primary Source #1
Indian Complaints about English Settlers, 1675
Primary Source #2
Edward Randolph’s Report of King Philip’s War, 1675
Secondary Source #1
Adam J. Hirsch, “The Collision of Military Cultures in Seventeenth-Century New England.”
Secondary Source #2
Michal L. Fickes, “’They Could Not Endure that Yoke’: The Capitivity of Pequot Women and Children after the War of 1637”
Step 4: In 50 words or more, describe your initial thoughts about how your sources relate to your chosen topic and focus. Make sure to provide specific examples from each of the four sources that illustrate how they will help you answer your focus question. This will help you begin to think about the form of your paper!
In primary #1 the natives who were the Indians, revolted against the Europeans led by King Phillip which meant the next combinations of Indians to threaten European dominance after
Pequot War
. Primary #2 contribute to this research since
Randolph, sent by King James II, compiled a report to account for the war involving Indians and colonies led by King Phillip.
On the other hand, secondary #1 is relevant to this paper since it analyze military conflicts in 17th-century, warfare practice in Europe; facets of native warfare of Indians and differences between European and native military prowess. Finally, Secondary #2 inputs to my compilation as it addresses how natives of New England were enslaved as it document how Europeans eventually thought of
Pequot War
as the “civilized” English versus the “savage” natives. The colonialists killed and enslaved Pequot women and children.

Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st CenturyIn th.docxwiddowsonerica
Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st Century
In the year 2025, nursing practice enabled by technology has created a professional culture of reflection, critical inquiry, and inter-professional collaboration. Examples of current technology that could change in the future include:
Nurses use technology at the point of care in all clinical settings (e.g., primary care, acute care, community, and long-term care) to inform their clinical decisions and effect the best possible outcomes for their clients.
Information is gathered and retrieved via human–technology biometric interfaces including voice, visual, sensory, gustatory, and auditory interfaces, continuously monitoring physiologic parameters for potentially harmful imbalances.
Longitudinal records are maintained for all citizens from their initial prenatal assessment to death; all life-long records are aggregated into the knowledge bases of expert systems. These systems are providing the basis of the artificial intelligence being embedded in emerging technologies.
Smart technologies and invisible computing are ubiquitous in all sectors where care is delivered.
Clients and families are empowered to review and contribute actively to their record of health and wellness.
Invasive diagnostic techniques are obsolete, nanotechnology therapeutics are the norm, and robotics supplement or replace much of the traditional work of all health professions.
Nurses provide expertise to citizens to help them effectively manage their health and wellness life plans, and navigate access to appropriate information and services.
Scholarly writing includes clarity and flow of thoughts. You may want to include headings in your paper to ensure you are meeting all elements of the rubric.

The project team has ten software developers working together, but located across the country. You have the following information about the project, and need to provide a status to the sponsors.
New items you learned this month about the project:
There is a three day weekend in the coming month.
Nine of the developers are on track to finish their tasks two weeks early.
One software developer took the recently announced “early retirement” package, and is leaving in one week. He is confident he will be able to finish his piece of the work before he leaves.
It is hurricane season in Florida, where three of the developers are located.
The developer who is retiring is the only person who knows how to get approval for the final product from the IRS.
The project costs are under budget and there has been no need for overtime.

Information Technology in Public HealthPublic health surveillance .docxwiddowsonerica
Information Technology in Public Health
Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data.
Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Prepare for this Application as follows:
Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.)
Find out how this application has impacted the public's health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology.
Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application.
Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application.
Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response.

Information Technology, Computer Networks and CyberspaceKizza (201.docxwiddowsonerica
Information Technology, Computer Networks and Cyberspace
Kizza (2014) largely treated cyber-attacks as “cybercrime,” conveying the assumption that these attacks are by definition illegitimate and criminal. However, he occasionally seems to recognize that there might be motives that are more ambiguous and may have a social, moral, or political basis. Lessig (2006) also referred to Internet hacker ethic as rebellious and libertarian and not always criminal in a moral sense. One example cited by Kizza (2014) is the Seattle WTO protest and mass computer attacks that are “increasingly being used to avenge what the attackers consider to be injustices” (p. 97). Another example we discussed was the Stratfor attack. Also, recently we see many examples of cyber security invasions by governments and corporations.
Search the Internet to find an example of a hacking activity or situation that represents a morally, ethically, or criminally ambiguous situation but is different from any examples you used in other assignments for this course.
Write a critical essay that addresses the following items:
Cite and briefly describe your example.
Apply what you have learned from the course to this point to identify arguments both in support of and critical of the behavior of the attackers.
Describe and explain the relationships among morality, ethics, law, and crime as they intersect in the case example that you have found.
Cite Winner’s “Do Artifacts Have Politics?” to identify and explain the political, moral, and ethical choices and consequences that may be embedded in technical choices and artifacts described in your example.
Discuss and cite the article “Do Artifacts Have Politics?”, the source of your example, and at least one additional credible or scholarly source other than the course textbook to support your analysis and positions. You may cite the course textbooks as well if you wish. Use standards and APA style guidelines, citing references as appropriate. Your paper should be two to three pages in length. Before submitting your final version, be sure to submit a draft version to the TurnItIn Checker.

Information to use for paperStep 1 Select your topic and focus.docxwiddowsonerica
Information to use for paper:
Step 1: Select your topic and focus question! Read the topics from the list on page 2 of this document and choose the topic and focus that interests you. Fill out the box below.
What’s your topic and focus question?
Topic:
This Land is My Land
Focus Question:
Evaluate the impact of the Pequot War on either the Europeans or Natives.
Step 2: In 50 words or more, state why you chose the topic and focus question that you chose. It could be how the topic is of interest to you and that you have studied it previously, or it could be a subject that you want to learn more about something of which you do not have knowledge.
I opted for “This Land is My Land” topic due to my insightful interest to explore historical events related to patriotism and balancing power between Europeans and Natives in situations such as trade negotiations. The trade aspect drove me to be specific on the focus question that need to address the impacts of Pequot War to Europeans and Natives. In this case, the contact of both had profound effect where balance of power shifted overnight from natives to Europeans. My choice is therefore grounded on the enthusiasm to discover more knowledge into this particular aspect.
Step 3: List the two primary source and two secondary sources that you have chosen in the boxes below.
Source Type
Source Name
Primary Source #1
Indian Complaints about English Settlers, 1675
Primary Source #2
Edward Randolph’s Report of King Philip’s War, 1675
Secondary Source #1
Adam J. Hirsch, “The Collision of Military Cultures in Seventeenth-Century New England.”
Secondary Source #2
Michal L. Fickes, “’They Could Not Endure that Yoke’: The Capitivity of Pequot Women and Children after the War of 1637”
Step 4: In 50 words or more, describe your initial thoughts about how your sources relate to your chosen topic and focus. Make sure to provide specific examples from each of the four sources that illustrate how they will help you answer your focus question. This will help you begin to think about the form of your paper!
In primary #1 the natives who were the Indians, revolted against the Europeans led by King Phillip which meant the next combinations of Indians to threaten European dominance after
Pequot War
. Primary #2 contribute to this research since
Randolph, sent by King James II, compiled a report to account for the war involving Indians and colonies led by King Phillip.
On the other hand, secondary #1 is relevant to this paper since it analyze military conflicts in 17th-century, warfare practice in Europe; facets of native warfare of Indians and differences between European and native military prowess. Finally, Secondary #2 inputs to my compilation as it addresses how natives of New England were enslaved as it document how Europeans eventually thought of
Pequot War
as the “civilized” English versus the “savage” natives. The colonialists killed and enslaved Pequot women and children.

Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st CenturyIn th.docxwiddowsonerica
Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st Century
In the year 2025, nursing practice enabled by technology has created a professional culture of reflection, critical inquiry, and inter-professional collaboration. Examples of current technology that could change in the future include:
Nurses use technology at the point of care in all clinical settings (e.g., primary care, acute care, community, and long-term care) to inform their clinical decisions and effect the best possible outcomes for their clients.
Information is gathered and retrieved via human–technology biometric interfaces including voice, visual, sensory, gustatory, and auditory interfaces, continuously monitoring physiologic parameters for potentially harmful imbalances.
Longitudinal records are maintained for all citizens from their initial prenatal assessment to death; all life-long records are aggregated into the knowledge bases of expert systems. These systems are providing the basis of the artificial intelligence being embedded in emerging technologies.
Smart technologies and invisible computing are ubiquitous in all sectors where care is delivered.
Clients and families are empowered to review and contribute actively to their record of health and wellness.
Invasive diagnostic techniques are obsolete, nanotechnology therapeutics are the norm, and robotics supplement or replace much of the traditional work of all health professions.
Nurses provide expertise to citizens to help them effectively manage their health and wellness life plans, and navigate access to appropriate information and services.
Scholarly writing includes clarity and flow of thoughts. You may want to include headings in your paper to ensure you are meeting all elements of the rubric.

Information Technology in Public HealthPublic health surveillance .docxwiddowsonerica
Information Technology in Public Health
Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data.
Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.
Prepare for this Application as follows:
Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.)
Find out how this application has impacted the public's health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology.
Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application.
Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application.
Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response.

Background:
Dendrobates pumilo
is a poison dart frog with a distributional range from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The bright colors from the skin of these frogs are considered to be a warning sign of toxicity to predators. Although
D. pumilo
is one species, there are 10 color polymorphic populations within this range. The warning signs as displayed on
D. pumilo
are favored by natural selection in terms of predator avoidance.
Purpose of the study (what scientists wanted to understand):
1) How visual conspicuousness and toxicity is correlated.
2) Differences between visual backgrounds and predator visual systems on detection of
D.
pumilo

Glossary:
Dorsal

Visual background
: Poison dart frogs live on different natural substrates; live dead plant parts,
so this would bring about different visual backgrounds.
Visual systems
: In this study they are referring to how predators “view” D. pumilo. Remember, not all predators will see their prey the same way.
Color polymorphisms

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. Assignment Goal
The goal of the assignment is to strengthen scientific thinking
and writing. The
objective is for each student to write an objective, logical, fact-
based paper using
evidence from high quality scientific research sources.
Topics
In general terms, your paper can examine selected consequences
of social
inequality. Throughout your textbook, the author presents
examples of how social
class impacts the lives of people. Some obvious examples are
health, including
mental and physical illness, or parent’s social class and
children’s educational
attainment. Each of the chapters on the major social classes
examines the behaviors
and consequences of that class. Your paper could explore on of
these issues in
greater detail. We are also seeing that race and gender are
deeply interrelated with
social inequality. You could dig deeper into one of the problems
or issues identified in
2. the book, or you could pursue some other thesis that links social
inequality and race
or gender. The paper could be based on the work of Karl Marx
and would use mostly
Marx’s writings.
The Major Social Factors
• Social class
• Gender
• Race/ethnicity
• Age
Your Paper Must Have A Thesis!
Your research paper must have a thesis. At the beginning of the
paper, you must
state your research thesis. It can be part of a short introductory
paragraph or it can
stand alone.
The following explanations include materials that are courtesy
of Empire State
College, Online Writing Center.
www.esc.edu/online-writing-center/resources/research/research-
paper-steps/
3. Research Topic
When you start working on your paper, you begin by selecting a
topic. A topic is
what the essay or research paper is about. It provides a focus for
your writing.
Choose an appropriate topic or issue for your research, one that
actually can be
researched. Many topics can be found in your textbook.
Example: “Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)”
Research Question
The next step in developing a thesis is to formulate a research
question. Start by
listing all of the questions that you'd like answered yourself.
(This assumes you are
curious about the topic!) Choose the best question, one that is
neither too broad nor
too narrow. In the early stages of your research, you can use a
search engine to
learn about the question and explore what high quality sources
are available.
Sometimes the number of sources you find will help you
discover whether your
4. 2
research question is too broad, too narrow. Example: “Why have
ADHD diagnoses
risen so rapidly in recent years?”
Research Thesis
A research thesis is your proposed answer to your research
question, which you
finalize only after completing the research. (It's okay to modify
and revise the
working thesis as you research more about the topic or issue.)
Thesis example: “The
rise of A.D.H.D. diagnoses and prescriptions for stimulants
coincided with a twodecade
campaign by pharmaceutical companies to publicize the
syndrome and
promote the pills to doctors, educators and parents.” (Factually
correct example
courtesy the New York Times)
I will be glad to help you as you work your way toward your
thesis, especially with
topic selection and research question development.
Examples
5. “The disparity between the richest and poorest in Country A and
Country B is due
primarily to differences in Cause X.”
“The next hegemonic power will be Country H because of the
emergence of the key
conditions that produce such world powers.”
“The rise of the American economy was the result of ideological
elements A, B, and
C.”
“Upper-class education clearly illustrates the power of social
reproduction.”
Your Analysis
You may approach your thesis as a question that needs to be
answered or as a
statement that needs evidence to support it. Either way, your
task is to compile
factual evidence that supports or refutes your thesis or helps
you answer your
question. You should include statistics showing the importance
or lack of importance
of other social factors or other diseases, as the case may be.
Scientific papers are
6. honest about evidence, presenting facts that both support and
refute the thesis or
hypothesis.
You should think critically about your thesis and ask yourself,
Why does this happen
or not happen? What causes this difference or lack of
difference? Include answers to
these critical thinking questions in your paper.
Required Elements for the Paper
• Your paper should be 5 pages in length, single-spaced, using a
10-12 point font,

Use An Outline And Headings
An outline shows the logical organization of your paper with a
set of headings. These
headings are like those used in bold print in the main sections
of the chapters of our
8. textbook and the journal articles you will use.
Grading Rubric for the Paper
Your paper will be graded on both the extent to which it draws
upon concepts
developed in the course and the extent to which it does so with
clear writing and
appropriate documentation. The paper will be graded using the
following five criteria
and 0-4 point system.

Your Thinking, Please
The main ingredient of your paper should be factual information
and statistics from
high quality sources. Your opinions about the topic or those of
anyone else without
substantial scientific evidence are not relevant and should not
be included in the
paper. You may use as evidence the statements of qualified
experts, but you must
make sure those sources are reliable. Your recommendations
should be supported
with evidence.
I want you to apply skeptical, critical thinking to everything
you read. You should
make your sources work hard to convince you that they have the
best evidence and
the best reasoning, as I will expect you to work hard to
convince me.
15. High Quality Web-based Sources
Each sociology sub-discipline has relevant journals to which
you should give priority.
The USCB online journal database offers access to full-text
copies of most of these
journals.
Peer Reviewed Journals
Here are some of the better-known academic journals in
sociology.
American Journal of Sociology
American Sociological Review
Social Forces
Journal of Health and Social Behavior
Social Science and Medicine
American Journal of Public Health
American Journal of Epidemiology
At least one of your cited references must come from a journal
in the USCB online
library database, which can be accessed from the sociology

16. Click the Find Articles tab. My experience is that “Academic
Search Premier” or
JSTOR are good starting points for a sociological web search.
Make sure you also
search “Academic ASAP, Extended” and “Social Sciences Full-

Beware Poor Quality Sources
To me, one of the main differences between a high school-level
research paper and a
college-level paper is that college-level papers do not use
encyclopedias as direct
sources. If your topic is something you don’t know much about,
an online
18. encyclopedia can help you learn enough to get started. But do
not use sources such
as Wikipedia.com, Britainica.com, about.com, or Encarta.com
as cited references in
your research paper. I will return as Incomplete any research
paper that uses these
kinds of sources.
Questionable Sources: Foundations, Advocacy Organizations,
and Non-Profits
Many advocacy organizations for problems and policies provide
source information
and statistics. You must “vet” this kind of source to make sure
that the evidence you
gather from it is reliable. (Vet means “To examine carefully; to
subject to thorough
appraisal; to evaluate” (dictionary.reference.com.))
Some sources that you will find are not governmental or
academic but still can be
trusted to provide reliable data and information. An example is
the Population
Reference Bureau (www.prb.org). The way to tell if a source
like this is reliable is to
click the link for information about the organization. In the case
of PRB, a quick scan
19. of the senior staff members show that they are experienced
demographers with
backgrounds in highly respected organizations. An example of
an advocacy
organization is the Center for Immigration Studies
(www.cis.org), which appears to
have a strong political agenda of reducing immigration into the
US. This is not an
unbiased, objective source. If you must use material from
questionable sources, be
very cautious when making generalizations based on their
information.
Questionable Sources: All News Media
Some news media are less guilty of hype than others, but all of
them want to attract
attention and they have learned that conflict and controversy
sell. Even the New
York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and
the BBC, which tend
to be more fact-based in their news coverage, still must be read
skeptically. Most
media outlets exaggerate, present incomplete information, and
even misrepresent
20. 6
the facts in order to create or exaggerate conflict and
controversy. You should
always attempt to verify information used by the media. If you
can’t verify by going
to the original source, you must be very cautious about making
generalizations
based on this information.
