You Are Defining and Defined by Social Responsibility
The first observation of a social issue can be confusing for a young person. Noticing extremes of wealth and poverty from one neighborhood to the next—or from one country to another—or hearing statistics related to literacy and school dropout rates in developed countries can be shocking. While growing up, how did your community of family, friends, and teachers respond to social disparities? Were they ignored or confronted? Did you perceive a sense of helplessness or responsibility to help? Whether you feel burdened by, or called to address, the myriad of social concerns in the world today, your response stems, in part, from how you see yourself in the world in relation to others.
In this Discussion, you explore the influence of personal values on your concept of social responsibility.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review examples of social responsibility presented in the assigned reading from the Loeb (2010) course text.
Review “The Golden Rule” from this week’s Resources to identify commonalities across quotes and to determine whether any quotes align with your own values.
Complete the Cultural Genogram: Dimensions of Culture document in this week’s Resources to discover personal values related to social responsibility.
Think of the community or communities where you grew up. What issue of concern or need in that community(ies) did you see addressed directly or indirectly?
Think about the elements in your life that might have influenced your definition of social responsibility.
Did any of your family members choose careers that served the community in which they lived?
What convictions do you hold that were formed early in life that now influence the way you view social responsibility?

Application My Social IdentitiesDeaux’s article Social Identity”.docx
Application: My Social Identities
Deaux’s article “Social Identity” not only introduced you to various social identity categories but also to some theories concerning the nature of social identities. You learned that all social identities affect your thinking, your emotions, and your behavior. For example, you may or may not share the way people attribute certain characteristics to specific social identities; one or more of your social identities may evoke strong emotions in you, and different social identities may influence you to behave in certain ways.
With this information in mind, review the social identities you listed in the Reflection Assignment, and consider the following questions:
Which of your social identities did you assume, i.e., have you chosen? Which ones have been ascribed, i.e., given to you, by others and/or by circumstances?
Which ones, if any, cannot be so clearly categorized, and for what reason(s)?
Which social identities, if any, afford you advantages and/or disadvantages, and in what ways?
Considering that society attributes certain stereotypical traits to different social identities, at this point in the course, which of your social identities do you believe conforms most/least to the stereotypical traits attributed to it by society—and in what ways?
Which one of your social identities evokes deep, strong emotions, and in what ways does this emotional connection manifest itself in your life?
In what way(s) do any or all of your social identities influence your behavior when you are with people who are like you/different from you—and in what ways do other people’s or groups’ behaviors influence your social roles?
Once you have spent some time reflecting on these questions, summarize your responses and add at least one new insight or question related to the connections you perceive between social identities and diversity.

2. Do you agree with Emile Durkheim that deviance is functional and is a necessary part of society? What functions might deviance provide? In your answer be sure to describe Durkheim's main thesis regarding the function of deviance. Think of a time when you used informal negative sanctions. To what act of deviance were you responding? How did your reaction help maintain social control?

assignment one
Due Thursday
In our discussion last week, we considered the many societal groups we belong to and how those groups and others, at both the micro- and macro-level, contribute to a complex society. Not all groups are perceived or treated equally in our society. Like other social issues, inequality can be explored with sociological theory.
As you prepare for this discussion, have in mind a social situation in the U.S. where inequality plays a role. Put on your ‘sociologist hat’ and consider the sociological theories we talked about last week as you approach these questions. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Summarize the situation where inequality appears. Do you consider this a micro- or macro-level social issue?
Which institutions or groups are negatively affected by the inequality?
Which social institutions or groups are involved in creating or promoting this inequality? Provide some examples.
What sociological theory or theories might be used to help generate solutions to this inequality?
assignment two
Assignment Content
Your experience with inequality has formed part of your personal identity. If we want to develop impartial perspectives about inequality and other social problems, we can review information gathered by groups who try to be objective. As we expand our understanding beyond our personal experiences, we can better communicate with others to either broaden their awareness of a social problem or persuade them to consider the limitations of their own perspectives. Considering different perspectives encourages us to reexamine our own opinions when we work with others to address social problems.
This week’s assignment provides a scenario in which you will consider inequality from different sociological perspectives. You’ll be asked to use the sociological theories you have learned about as you address this scenario.
Scenario:
You belong to a community task force that volunteers to improve social problems. The city council has asked your team to provide a report on social problems at a micro-level (your neighborhood or community) rather than a macro-level (state or country).
The task force has nominated you to put together an Inequalities Report on their behalf to help inform the city’s decisions about solving these problems. For this report, you will select 2 types of inequality that exist in your community and discuss how they affect your community at a micro-level. You will also identify sociological theories that city leaders can consider as they plan for solutions.

What is Sociology? Notes
This document outlines notes from sociology class lessons on key topics like what sociology is, groups studied in sociology, theoretical perspectives, and conformity. It provides warm-up questions, homework assignments, and outlines concepts to be covered for an upcoming test. Key points covered include that sociology is the study of groups, their formation and impact on behavior. Theoretical perspectives like functionalism and symbolic interactionism are discussed as ways to understand group behavior. Conformity and its causes are also examined.
SOC 213 Final Project Part I Guidelines and Rubric Ov.docx
SOC 213 Final Project Part I Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The first part (Part I) of the final project for this course is preparing for the letter of intent.
The field of sociology presents a unique perspective to viewing the world’s social problems. Social problems tend to be viewed solely as individual constructs and
responsibilities, but sociologists take a deeper dive into the complex set of variables driving the development of these problems using various theoretical
perspectives. As these problems surface in individual lives, the workplace, and communities, a sociological perspective is valuable for providing a framework for
deeper investigation of variables and limiting personal biases when analyzing problems.
In this project, you will play the part of a sociologist who has been requested by your national community to craft a letter of intent to the potential funder, the
Department of Health and Human Services. The project will be divided into two parts. In the first part, you will prepare to write the letter of intent by conducting
research on the social problem and thinking about how to limit your personal biases when later analyzing the social issue. In the second part of the project, the
letter of intent, you will analyze the problem from a sociological perspective, outlining the influential variables and the local and global impacts of the problem,
and finally suggest a potential solution.
This project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. The Part I milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Three. The final submission for Part I is due in Module Five.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze contemporary social problems on local and global scales by applying key theoretical perspectives
Analyze social variables and determinants for their influence in the development of contemporary social problems on a local and global scale
Suggest potential solutions that are aligned with best practices for addressing the negative impacts of social issues
Illustrate how the use of sociological theory limits personal and societal biases in analyzing social problems
Part I
Before you can write the letter of intent, you must first identify social variables influencing the problem and previously attempted solutions. Also, before you can
analyze the problem, you must first think about your biases and how you can limit these biases using sociological theory when analyzing the social issue.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: Explain the contemporary social problem that you selected, and explain why you chose this specific social problem.
II. Research: In order to further understand the social problem, you will conduct some research on its influences, impacts,.
Choose one of the following questions 1. Do people adjust .docx
Choose one of the following questions:
1. Do people adjust their role performance and presentation of the self to affect the opinion of others? Would you say that we have different “social selves” that we present in different settings? How does this relate to the concepts of impression management and/or the looking-glass self? Provide examples in your explanation.
2. Do you think the mass media significantly contributes to the socialization process? When answering this question be sure to identify and describe the major agents of socialization in U.S. society today. Has the media changed social interaction? Does the media have more influence over socialization than the other agents of social control? Why or why not?
The Week 2 Forum meets the following course objectives:
Apply a sociological perspective to the social world
Analyze contemporary social issues using the sociological imagination and use sociological theories and concepts to analyze everyday life.
Describe culture and socialization.
Recognize and define social structure and social interaction.
Instructions for all Forums:
Each week, learners will post one initial post per week. This post must demonstrate comprehension of the course materials, the ability to apply that knowledge in the real world. Learners will engage with the instructor and peers throughout the learning week. To motivate engaged discussion, posts are expected to be on time with regular interaction throughout the week.

Aspects of Social Understanding
[WLOs: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the Week 1 and Week 2 textbook readings: Chapters 1 through 4 and Chapter 12, perform your own research, and watch the following videos:
How do we know what is true? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
How do we know what we know? Audi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

An important aspect of public sociology is gaining an understanding of our social world and coming to informed conclusions based on what we know. Social problems can often occur due to a clash of difference in social understanding, and so sociologists can gain considerable value in understanding the nuances of different perspectives. These perspectives can also change over time as society evolves and individuals develop. The importance of this assignment is to acknowledge that there are varied forms of knowing that form our perspectives in society and presenting how these varied forms of knowing have impacts and value. This assignment is a “thought-piece” that requires you to academically support your ideas, as a presentation of your own developing and evolving social understanding.
In your paper, include the following components:
Elements of Social Understanding (1-2 pages)
Explain the concept of “epistemology” or “how we know what we know.”
Discuss the following elements of social understanding: evidence, theory, value, and beliefs.
Acquisition of Social Understanding (1-2 pages)
Explain the concept of “reflexivity” in social understanding.
Discuss how humans can gain each element of social understanding or how elements are formed.
Defend the importance each element of social understanding has on human knowledge.
Value to Society (1-2 pages)
Summarize how the elements of social understanding work together.
Justify the potential impact if citizens in society do or do not embrace all elements of social understanding.

Social groups-and-societies
This document defines social groups, societies, and their structures. It states that a social group consists of two or more humans who interact and share an identity. A society is a community that shares customs, laws, and organizations. Societies can be professional, charitable, economic, or based on religion/culture. Social structure includes statuses, roles, groups, associations, and institutions that compose a society. The document also discusses primary and secondary groups, in-groups/out-groups, reference groups, and the dynamics within and between social groups. It describes the stages of social transformation as forming, storming, norming, performing, and transformation over time.
OverviewOur first writing assignment centered upon the definition .docx
Overview
Our first writing assignment centered upon the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward social problems, and an identification of a social problem that we felt was one of the most significant in society. For this next paper, we will expand upon our understanding of the social problem through analyzing the organizations that are committed to addressing it. For example, with respect to the problems of homelessness, we see a variety of local and national level organizations that seek to enable people the opportunity to have permanent housing. Habitat for Humanity would be an excellent example of an organization that deals with such a concern. In the same sense, we may look at the Salvation Army as a type of organization committed to helping impoverished people, or people recently released from prison or drug treatment, to find gainful employment and reclaim a quality-of-life. Your job in this paper will be to do your own independent research on two organizations that are committed to the social problem chosen in the first writing assignment. This will ultimately lead to our final paper in which we’ll examine the future of the social problem.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully satisfies these two areas:
Based upon your topic chosen in the first assignment, or based upon an entirely new topic of your choice, describe two organizations (Feel free to do your own independent research on these organizations) that is seeking to address this social problem. (1-2 pages).
Note: If you do change topics please get prior approval from you instructor.
Analyze two major ways that each organization is addressing the social problem you have mentioned. For example, are they helping to create homeless shelters, are they helping people receive drug treatment, or are they working with state and local authorities to curb suffering in some area?
Use at least four concepts or theories from our text (not used in our first assignment) for each organization. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (worth 10% of total grade).
Due on by midnight the Sunday of Week 5 – submit using link in Sakai.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW2.doc

social structure ,social control, social group.
The document discusses social structure, social control, and social groups. It defines social control as the control of society over individuals through rewards and punishments. Social control is exercised through both formal and informal agencies. Formal control includes institutions like law, education, and the state, while informal control consists of folkways, mores, and social norms. The document also defines social groups as groups of interacting people who share characteristics and identity. It identifies primary groups as fundamental and long-lasting, and secondary groups as larger and more impersonal groups joined for specific purposes. Social structure is described as the network of interrelated statuses and roles that define individuals' positions in society and expectations for behavior.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to .docx
Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

Show Description
Hide Description
Organizational structure, norms, values, culture, etc., all have an impact on a leader’s success. Consider the new or advancing leader. Such a leader is expected to learn how to effectively perform all of the important administrative and professional/technical tasks. In addition, the leader needs to master the necessary social skills associated with early effectiveness in the new position. Below are 10 “sociopolitical” categories which may influence a transitioning leader's early (and enduring) effectiveness. These include, in no particular order, the ability to:
enter into an established leader/employee “network.”
sense, as well as use, appropriate communication; influence behaviors.
sense and appropriately act on keen organizational norms.
become aware of, and sensitively interact with, organizational “blockers” and “enablers.”
build political bridges by identifying and relating to key formal/informal power sources.
become known as a “go-to/can-do” individual.
be perceived as a “team player.”
sense key organizational issues upon which to create early vision, initiatives, and value.
identify and appropriately respond to the requirements of superiors/peers/subordinates.
be perceived as having organizationally appropriate ethics, values, and beliefs.
Please note that these are behavioral skill categories, not actual behaviors. You likely use many of the actual behaviors (such as “interpersonal communication”) within a category every day.
Remember, after you submit your answer each week to the Discussion Question itself, you also need to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
(In total for this module’s Discussion Forum you should have contributed at least two Discussion Question posts and four response posts to your classmates.)
You must participate in BOTH Week 1 and Week 2 Discussions to get credit for each module’s Discussion.
Posting early each week will allow for more opportunities for leading the discussions, making substantial contributions, and engaging in meaningful and mutual discussions with others.
Week 1 Discussion Question:
Does this list of “sociopolitical” skill categories match your sense of what is most required to help ensure a leader's early success in a new role/position? What might you add or subtract to help ensure the most effective transition into a new job?
(For the Week 2 Discussion Question, see the second part of this module’s Discussion Forum.)

ne of the great success stories of American retail-
ing, Circuit City got its start in 1949 as a tiny
storefront in Richmond, Va. From that modest
beginning, founder Sam Wurtzel quickly built the company
into a national chain, and his son Alan turned it
into a household name. By 2000, Circuit City employed
more than 60,000 people at 616 locations across the
United States.
Circuit City is also one of American retailing’s great fail-
ures. In November 2008, the 59 -year-old company filed for
bankruptcy. Within months, it closed its stores and liquidat-
ed more than $1 billion worth of merchandise, and on March
8, 2009, the last Circuit City store turned off its lights for
good. Today there are few reminders of the groundbreaking
retailer; the company’s 700,000-square-foot headquarters
complex outside Richmond is filling up with new tenants,
and the empty stores have been taken over by new retailers.
In part, Circuit City was just one of the many victims of
the financial crisis and recession, which also brought down
other large national retailers such as Linens ’n Things and
The Sharper Image. And businesses fail even during the
best of economic times, as part of the natural process of
“creative destruction” that is the engine of capitalism. But at
business schools across the country, Circuit City’s story is
taught as an example of what can happen when success
breeds complacency.
From Tire Store to Fortune 500
In 1949, New Yorker and serial entrepreneur Sam Wurtzel
was having his hair cut in Richmond on his way to a family
vacation in North Carolina. The barber mentioned that the
first television station in the South had opened in Richmond
less than a year earlier. Wurtzel, fresh from a failed import-
export business, thought this new entertainment device
might be his next opportunity.
The first experimental television stations began operat-
ing in the early 1940s, and commercial broadcasting began
after World War II. Few households owned sets at the time
of Wurtzel’s barbershop visit, but the medium was growing
rapidly: The number of TV stations in the United States
nearly tripled in 1949, from 27 to 76. Through a friend,
Wurtzel knew someone at Olympic Television, a small
manufacturer in Long Island City; through relatives, he had
connections to bankers and businesspeople in Richmond.
Within a month, Wurtzel had moved his family from New
York to Virginia and was selling televisions out of the front
half of a tire store on Broad Street, a few blocks west of
downtown Richmond.
Wurtzel thought his last name might be hard for people
to pronounce, so he named his store Wards, an acronym for
his family’s names: W for Wurtzel, A for his son Alan, R for
his wife, Ruth, D for his son David, and S for Sam. Rather
than try to compete directly with the big department stores,
he catered to lower-income consumers by offering install-
ment payment plans. He also developed a unique s.

The Distribution & Marketing Plan Template
Using this Template (attached below), provide your ideas and research for the distribution
strategies you will recommend for the logistical movement and delivery of the product to
targeted users in a niche market. You should research similar products to determine what
other self-distributors are doing to deliver their product to a niche market.
The template is just a guide for organizing your paper with headings and sub-
headings. Retype and duplicate the headings and sub-headings. Everything else is your
original content.
Do not include any of the instructor’s comments in blue in the Template when submitting
this assignment. Reproduction of anything other than the headings and sub-headings
from the template will cause a deduction in points for your assignment.
Use the Budget portion of the template to organize your distribution and marketing
expenses. List each item you plan to spend money on, the frequency with which you will
use it, and the cost for your company’s first year.
All of the tools and tactics found in the written section of the plan must match the dollars
that are allocated to them in the Budget Worksheet.
Do not include any costs in the budget that are not directly related to specific distributing
(selling) and marketing (building awareness) strategies proposed for the product.
Costs should be realistic for what you are trying to accomplish. Remember you are
working with a micro budget of $1500 for the entirety of the one-year plan. So, for example,
World Tours and World Premieres are out. This budget will barely afford more than a local
venue or two to showcase your product.
The best way to tackle the Sales Projections and Budget is to create them in Excel, using
formulas in Excel, and then copy and paste the spreadsheet into your Word document
based on the sample provided.
It should take you a few seconds to set up these spreadsheets and type in the column
headings from the template. All of the line items are custom to your project and should be
revised by you to fit your project.

SOC 213 Final Project Part I Guidelines and Rubric Ov.docx
SOC 213 Final Project Part I Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The first part (Part I) of the final project for this course is preparing for the letter of intent.
The field of sociology presents a unique perspective to viewing the world’s social problems. Social problems tend to be viewed solely as individual constructs and
responsibilities, but sociologists take a deeper dive into the complex set of variables driving the development of these problems using various theoretical
perspectives. As these problems surface in individual lives, the workplace, and communities, a sociological perspective is valuable for providing a framework for
deeper investigation of variables and limiting personal biases when analyzing problems.
In this project, you will play the part of a sociologist who has been requested by your national community to craft a letter of intent to the potential funder, the
Department of Health and Human Services. The project will be divided into two parts. In the first part, you will prepare to write the letter of intent by conducting
research on the social problem and thinking about how to limit your personal biases when later analyzing the social issue. In the second part of the project, the
letter of intent, you will analyze the problem from a sociological perspective, outlining the influential variables and the local and global impacts of the problem,
and finally suggest a potential solution.
This project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. The Part I milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Three. The final submission for Part I is due in Module Five.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze contemporary social problems on local and global scales by applying key theoretical perspectives
Analyze social variables and determinants for their influence in the development of contemporary social problems on a local and global scale
Suggest potential solutions that are aligned with best practices for addressing the negative impacts of social issues
Illustrate how the use of sociological theory limits personal and societal biases in analyzing social problems
Part I
Before you can write the letter of intent, you must first identify social variables influencing the problem and previously attempted solutions. Also, before you can
analyze the problem, you must first think about your biases and how you can limit these biases using sociological theory when analyzing the social issue.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: Explain the contemporary social problem that you selected, and explain why you chose this specific social problem.
II. Research: In order to further understand the social problem, you will conduct some research on its influences, impacts,.

How does this relate to the concepts of impression management and/or the looking-glass self? Provide examples in your explanation.
2. Do you think the mass media significantly contributes to the socialization process? When answering this question be sure to identify and describe the major agents of socialization in U.S. society today. Has the media changed social interaction? Does the media have more influence over socialization than the other agents of social control? Why or why not?
The Week 2 Forum meets the following course objectives:
Apply a sociological perspective to the social world
Analyze contemporary social issues using the sociological imagination and use sociological theories and concepts to analyze everyday life.
Describe culture and socialization.
Recognize and define social structure and social interaction.
Instructions for all Forums:

The first assignment asks students to analyze a social situation involving inequality in the US by considering what groups are affected, what groups promote the inequality, and which sociological theories could help address it. The second assignment asks students to write a report from the perspective of a community task force, selecting two types of inequality in their community, discussing their micro-level effects, and identifying relevant sociological theories to inform solutions. Students are to download and complete an "Inequalities Report" template to submit their work.

Week 2 - Assignment
Aspects of Social Understanding
[WLOs: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the Week 1 and Week 2 textbook readings: Chapters 1 through 4 and Chapter 12, perform your own research, and watch the following videos:
How do we know what is true? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
How do we know what we know? Audi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

An important aspect of public sociology is gaining an understanding of our social world and coming to informed conclusions based on what we know. Social problems can often occur due to a clash of difference in social understanding, and so sociologists can gain considerable value in understanding the nuances of different perspectives. These perspectives can also change over time as society evolves and individuals develop. The importance of this assignment is to acknowledge that there are varied forms of knowing that form our perspectives in society and presenting how these varied forms of knowing have impacts and value. This assignment is a “thought-piece” that requires you to academically support your ideas, as a presentation of your own developing and evolving social understanding.
In your paper, include the following components:
Elements of Social Understanding (1-2 pages)
Explain the concept of “epistemology” or “how we know what we know.”
Discuss the following elements of social understanding: evidence, theory, value, and beliefs.
Acquisition of Social Understanding (1-2 pages)
Explain the concept of “reflexivity” in social understanding.
Discuss how humans can gain each element of social understanding or how elements are formed.
Defend the importance each element of social understanding has on human knowledge.
Value to Society (1-2 pages)
Summarize how the elements of social understanding work together.
Justify the potential impact if citizens in society do or do not embrace all elements of social understanding.

Social groups-and-societies
This document defines social groups, societies, and their structures. It states that a social group consists of two or more humans who interact and share an identity. A society is a community that shares customs, laws, and organizations. Societies can be professional, charitable, economic, or based on religion/culture. Social structure includes statuses, roles, groups, associations, and institutions that compose a society. The document also discusses primary and secondary groups, in-groups/out-groups, reference groups, and the dynamics within and between social groups. It describes the stages of social transformation as forming, storming, norming, performing, and transformation over time.
OverviewOur first writing assignment centered upon the definition .docx
Overview
Our first writing assignment centered upon the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward social problems, and an identification of a social problem that we felt was one of the most significant in society. For this next paper, we will expand upon our understanding of the social problem through analyzing the organizations that are committed to addressing it. For example, with respect to the problems of homelessness, we see a variety of local and national level organizations that seek to enable people the opportunity to have permanent housing. Habitat for Humanity would be an excellent example of an organization that deals with such a concern. In the same sense, we may look at the Salvation Army as a type of organization committed to helping impoverished people, or people recently released from prison or drug treatment, to find gainful employment and reclaim a quality-of-life. Your job in this paper will be to do your own independent research on two organizations that are committed to the social problem chosen in the first writing assignment. This will ultimately lead to our final paper in which we’ll examine the future of the social problem.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully satisfies these two areas:
Based upon your topic chosen in the first assignment, or based upon an entirely new topic of your choice, describe two organizations (Feel free to do your own independent research on these organizations) that is seeking to address this social problem. (1-2 pages).
Note: If you do change topics please get prior approval from you instructor.
Analyze two major ways that each organization is addressing the social problem you have mentioned. For example, are they helping to create homeless shelters, are they helping people receive drug treatment, or are they working with state and local authorities to curb suffering in some area?
Use at least four concepts or theories from our text (not used in our first assignment) for each organization. Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (worth 10% of total grade).
Due on by midnight the Sunday of Week 5 – submit using link in Sakai.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or times new roman 11 pt font, and saved as .doc, .rtf or .pdf in the format: lastname_SOCI212_HW2.doc
DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.

social structure ,social control, social group.
The document discusses social structure, social control, and social groups. It defines social control as the control of society over individuals through rewards and punishments. Social control is exercised through both formal and informal agencies. Formal control includes institutions like law, education, and the state, while informal control consists of folkways, mores, and social norms. The document also defines social groups as groups of interacting people who share characteristics and identity. It identifies primary groups as fundamental and long-lasting, and secondary groups as larger and more impersonal groups joined for specific purposes. Social structure is described as the network of interrelated statuses and roles that define individuals' positions in society and expectations for behavior.

Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to .docx
Develop a 3-5 page outline of concepts you would like to apply to your own life and identify relevant scholarly sources that will help you with your application of concepts.
As you may have noticed as you have worked through earlier assessments, Sociology is applicable to our everyday lives. We can oftentimes take a sociological concept and use it to explain something that occurs in our own lives. For example, you have learned about norms and how we tend to follow the norms of a society. You can use that to explain how people behave when they are in an elevator. Most people face forward, look up at the numbers, and don't talk.
Many of your experiences can be analyzed using sociological concepts. For your final assessment, Assessment 6, you will complete a Sociology of Me and apply many of the concepts you have learned about in this course to your own life. For Assessment 5, begin to think about which concepts you would like to apply to your own experience, develop an outline, and identify appropriate resources. In order to complete this assessment, you will need to show your understanding of some additional concepts related to social structure, education, and technology/media.
We have learned how a society's culture can influence people. There are other elements in society, however, that also affect our decisions and behavior. Sociological research has found that in addition to culture, social structure and groups also significantly impact many of our individual choices. Our position in the social structure affects our behaviors, attitudes, and ideas. For example, an important element of social structure are groups. We belong to a variety of different groups. Decades of research have documented the impact of group conformity on the individual. Although people tend to often believe that they act as individuals and aren't impacted by others, research has found this is usually not the case. The Milgram experiment in your Resources is a great example. Milgram (1963) examined conformity and obedience and found that people are highly influenced by authority and the demands of conformity, even to the point that we will inflict pain on another person to obey authority.
Sociologists also study education and how it is impacted by a society's culture and structure. The purpose of education is to provide knowledge (facts, skills, cultural norms) to members of a society. In the United States, education teaches us not just skills, but also how to be effective citizens. Education transmits the dominant culture, ensuring that children understand cultural norms and values. Educational attainment impacts life outcomes—it affects our occupation, earnings, work conditions, and health. Thus, education is related to social inequality. We have a tendency to assume that education is an equalizer in the United States, but this is something that is debated by sociologists. Is education equally available to everyone? Studies suggest it is not. Social class can impa.

Show Description
Hide Description
Organizational structure, norms, values, culture, etc., all have an impact on a leader’s success. Consider the new or advancing leader. Such a leader is expected to learn how to effectively perform all of the important administrative and professional/technical tasks. In addition, the leader needs to master the necessary social skills associated with early effectiveness in the new position. Below are 10 “sociopolitical” categories which may influence a transitioning leader's early (and enduring) effectiveness. These include, in no particular order, the ability to:
enter into an established leader/employee “network.”
sense, as well as use, appropriate communication; influence behaviors.
sense and appropriately act on keen organizational norms.
become aware of, and sensitively interact with, organizational “blockers” and “enablers.”
build political bridges by identifying and relating to key formal/informal power sources.
become known as a “go-to/can-do” individual.
be perceived as a “team player.”
sense key organizational issues upon which to create early vision, initiatives, and value.
identify and appropriately respond to the requirements of superiors/peers/subordinates.
be perceived as having organizationally appropriate ethics, values, and beliefs.
Please note that these are behavioral skill categories, not actual behaviors. You likely use many of the actual behaviors (such as “interpersonal communication”) within a category every day.
Remember, after you submit your answer each week to the Discussion Question itself, you also need to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
(In total for this module’s Discussion Forum you should have contributed at least two Discussion Question posts and four response posts to your classmates.)
You must participate in BOTH Week 1 and Week 2 Discussions to get credit for each module’s Discussion.
Posting early each week will allow for more opportunities for leading the discussions, making substantial contributions, and engaging in meaningful and mutual discussions with others.
Week 1 Discussion Question:
Does this list of “sociopolitical” skill categories match your sense of what is most required to help ensure a leader's early success in a new role/position? What might you add or subtract to help ensure the most effective transition into a new job?
(For the Week 2 Discussion Question, see the second part of this module’s Discussion Forum.)

ne of the great success stories of American retail-
ing, Circuit City got its start in 1949 as a tiny
storefront in Richmond, Va. From that modest
beginning, founder Sam Wurtzel quickly built the company
into a national chain, and his son Alan turned it
into a household name. By 2000, Circuit City employed
more than 60,000 people at 616 locations across the
United States.
Circuit City is also one of American retailing’s great fail-
ures. In November 2008, the 59 -year-old company filed for
bankruptcy. Within months, it closed its stores and liquidat-
ed more than $1 billion worth of merchandise, and on March
8, 2009, the last Circuit City store turned off its lights for
good. Today there are few reminders of the groundbreaking
retailer; the company’s 700,000-square-foot headquarters
complex outside Richmond is filling up with new tenants,
and the empty stores have been taken over by new retailers.
In part, Circuit City was just one of the many victims of
the financial crisis and recession, which also brought down
other large national retailers such as Linens ’n Things and
The Sharper Image. And businesses fail even during the
best of economic times, as part of the natural process of
“creative destruction” that is the engine of capitalism. But at
business schools across the country, Circuit City’s story is
taught as an example of what can happen when success
breeds complacency.
From Tire Store to Fortune 500
In 1949, New Yorker and serial entrepreneur Sam Wurtzel
was having his hair cut in Richmond on his way to a family
vacation in North Carolina. The barber mentioned that the
first television station in the South had opened in Richmond
less than a year earlier. Wurtzel, fresh from a failed import-
export business, thought this new entertainment device
might be his next opportunity.
The first experimental television stations began operat-
ing in the early 1940s, and commercial broadcasting began
after World War II. Few households owned sets at the time
of Wurtzel’s barbershop visit, but the medium was growing
rapidly: The number of TV stations in the United States
nearly tripled in 1949, from 27 to 76. Through a friend,
Wurtzel knew someone at Olympic Television, a small
manufacturer in Long Island City; through relatives, he had
connections to bankers and businesspeople in Richmond.
Within a month, Wurtzel had moved his family from New
York to Virginia and was selling televisions out of the front
half of a tire store on Broad Street, a few blocks west of
downtown Richmond.
Wurtzel thought his last name might be hard for people
to pronounce, so he named his store Wards, an acronym for
his family’s names: W for Wurtzel, A for his son Alan, R for
his wife, Ruth, D for his son David, and S for Sam. Rather
than try to compete directly with the big department stores,
he catered to lower-income consumers by offering install-
ment payment plans. He also developed a unique s.

The Distribution & Marketing Plan Template
Using this Template (attached below), provide your ideas and research for the distribution
strategies you will recommend for the logistical movement and delivery of the product to
targeted users in a niche market. You should research similar products to determine what
other self-distributors are doing to deliver their product to a niche market.
The template is just a guide for organizing your paper with headings and sub-
headings. Retype and duplicate the headings and sub-headings. Everything else is your
original content.
Do not include any of the instructor’s comments in blue in the Template when submitting
this assignment. Reproduction of anything other than the headings and sub-headings
from the template will cause a deduction in points for your assignment.
Use the Budget portion of the template to organize your distribution and marketing
expenses. List each item you plan to spend money on, the frequency with which you will
use it, and the cost for your company’s first year.
All of the tools and tactics found in the written section of the plan must match the dollars
that are allocated to them in the Budget Worksheet.
Do not include any costs in the budget that are not directly related to specific distributing
(selling) and marketing (building awareness) strategies proposed for the product.
Costs should be realistic for what you are trying to accomplish. Remember you are
working with a micro budget of $1500 for the entirety of the one-year plan. So, for example,
World Tours and World Premieres are out. This budget will barely afford more than a local
venue or two to showcase your product.
The best way to tackle the Sales Projections and Budget is to create them in Excel, using
formulas in Excel, and then copy and paste the spreadsheet into your Word document
based on the sample provided.
It should take you a few seconds to set up these spreadsheets and type in the column
headings from the template. All of the line items are custom to your project and should be
revised by you to fit your project.

Dynamics of Human Service Program Management
Individuals who enter into a human service area of practice often start from an altruistic perspective and a desire to help a particular population. Getting into the field and discovering value incongruence and the high level of bureaucratic demands—regardless of whether the organization is a government, nonprofit, or for-profit human service organization—can result in disillusionment or departure from the field.
In your initial post, suggest ways a human service program leader can manage the competing demands of bureaucratic standards. What actions can leaders or managers take to help service delivery personnel retain motivation and job satisfaction?

Dylan
(age 45, Caucasian) is a heroin addict who has been in and out of rehab facilities and prison since he was 17; he has a 1 year old daughter with a women he dated for a few months, but he is not allowed contact due to his unreliable behavior and constant drug use. He dropped out of high school when he was 17, after the first failed attempt at in-patient treatment. Dylan engages in other drug use – prescription pills, marijuana, and cocaine – but prefers heroin and other opioid-based drugs. Dylan has a twin brother, Daniel (age 45, Caucasian) who is a happily married father of three and owns his own graphic design firm. The parents, Harriet and William (ages 70 and 72, Caucasian) both report being invested and supportive of both of their sons’ interests (i.e. football, photography) during childhood and adolescence as Harriet was a stay-at-home mother and William emphasized family by working a lot from home during the boys’ childhood. They grew-up in a middle class suburb with the Neighborhood Watch and regular neighborhood gatherings. Harriet reports that Dylan struggled with change and seemed anxious with any new situation, whereas Daniel was very adaptable and rolled with any situation.

A case study is defined by Saunders, Lewis, and Thornhill (2015), as when a researcher collects in the field observations and documentation of information from multiple sources to study a current event. The phenological design is referenced by Saunders et al. (2015), as the respondent’s explanation and remembrance of the activities and involvements being studied. These are quite diverse in being unbiased and factual.
There are other distinctions, such as time and costs associated with each one. The case study requires one person from 1 company, the multiple case study requires at least three companies with at least two persons, and the phenological design requires at least 20 persons. The amount of time commitment to speak to 20 people for 1 hour, is more significant than the amount of time needed to speaks to fewer persons being interviewed or surveyed as part of the study. This time obligation will also transect the financial aspect of the need for additional funding for the research, if more time is needed, then transversely proportional is the monetary aspect (Walden, 2019).
Benefits of Using a Case Study for DBA Doctoral Research
The benefits of using a case study for doctoral research is the cost savings and time required to complete or accomplish the study (Saunders et al., 2015; Yin, 2018). The case study is still a factual designed, based on developing true aspects, but is less problematic than the phenological design.

To begin a discussion about case study design and phenomenological research design it is important to define qualitative data. Sanders, Lewis and Thornhill (2015) define qualitative data as data that can be characterized by the richness and fullness of information that is used to explore a subject in a real setting where the researcher derives meaning from images and words, not numbers and data. The quality of qualitative research is defined by the interaction between the data collection process, such as a case study, and the analysis used to explore the meanings of the data (Sanders et al., 2015).
When determining the type of qualitative research that the researcher will conduct it is important to determine the method of collection and how it will be used to analyze the empirical evidence. Yin (2018) proposes that multiple research method can be used for exploratory, descriptive and explanatory studies if properly applied to the research topic. However, there is often one methodology that is more appropriate to address the research q.

DwightEvaluation Leadership style assessments certainl.docx
Dwight
Evaluation
Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations.
Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations.
Explanation of Usefulness
Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves.
Explanation of Impact
The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

Dwayne and Debbie Tamai Family of Emeryville, Ontario.Mr. Dw.docx
Dwayne and Debbie Tamai Family of Emeryville, Ontario.
Mr. Dwayne Tamai and Mrs. Debbie Tamai case of electronic harassment involved 15-year-old son, Billy, who took control of all of the electronic devices in the family's home, including the phone, and manipulated them to the distress of other family members for his own amusement. The incidents began in December 1996, when friends of the family complained that phone calls to the Tamai home were repeatedly being waylaid, cut off missed messages, strange clicking and appears like a minor with a disembodied voice, unnervingly distorted by computer, who interrupted calls to make himself known.
After burping repeatedly, the caller frightened Mr. and Mrs. Tamai, and stated that I know who you are, and I stole your voice mail. Mocking, sometimes menacing, the high-tech stalker became a constant presence, eavesdropping on family conversations, switching TV channels, and shutting off the electricity.
The police department confirmed that the sabotage was an inside activity but refrain from releasing the name the culprit. The police further stated that nothing would be gained by filing charges against the suspect. Mr. Dwayne and Mrs. Debbie Tamai asserted that their son, Billy, had admitted engaging in the mysterious calls. The interruptions included burps, blathering and claims having control over the inner workings of the Tamai’s custom-built home, and the power to turn individual appliances on and off via remote control.
It started off as a witticism with friends and got out of control to an extent that he didn't know how to end the entire operation, become afraid to come forward and tell the parents for the fear of us disowning him.
On Saturday, Mr., and Mrs. Tamai get organized and planned to take their son to the police department to defend him against persistent rumors on him. Instead, Mr., and Mrs. Tamai’s son confessed and labelled an intruder code-named, Sommy. Mr., and Mrs. Tamai eliminated all external sources and had confidence in interior sources. After 2-days, a team of investigators, intelligence and security experts loaded with high-tech equipment failed to locate Sommy. The next day, the team brought in two television networks to assist in the process.
In conclusion, the son, Billy not (Sommy) contacted the victims; (his biological parents), launched verbal threats in combination with the electronic harassment, in an effort to demonstrate his power and authority over them. The best option was, Mr., and Mrs. Tamai victims were not physically harmed, but terrified and greatly inconvenienced by the fact that the unknown force appeared to have control over a great many aspects of their lives, and the unknown force turned out to be their biological son, Billy.

Dusk of DawnDiscussion questions1. Explain when we call fo.docx
Dusk of Dawn
Discussion questions
1. Explain: “when we call for education, we mean real education. We believe in work. We ourselves are workers, but work is not necessarily education. Education is the development of power and ideal. We want our children to be trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate black boys and girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire” (p. 92).
2. Explain: “in the folds of this European civilization I was born and shall die, imprisoned, conditioned, depressed, exalted and inspired. Integrally a part of it and yet, much more significant, one of its rejected parts” (p. 3).
3. What does Du Bois mean by “slave heritage in mind and home” and “compulsory ignorance” (p. 5)?
4. Explain: “these matters seldom bothered me because they were not brought to my attention” (p. 18).
5. Explain: “wealth was God” (p. 26). Does this sound familiar?
6. Explain: “the economic order determined what the next generation should learn and know” (p. 27).
7. Du Bois discusses lynching (the standard Jim Crow era enforcement practice) on pp. 29, 55, 241, and 251. What was your reaction to these sections?
8. Explain: “I was pleasantly surprised when the white school superintendent, on whom I had made a business call, invited me to stay for dinner; and he would have been astonished if he had dreamed that I expected to eat at the table with him and not after he was through” (p. 31).
8. Jim Crow laws disenfranchised black citizens by three common practices—grandfather clause, poll tax, and literacy test. Do you think they might have affected election outcomes from the 1870s to 1965?
9. Why was the lynching of Sam Hose a turning point in Du Bois’ life (pp. 67-68)?
10. What do you think of the principles of the ‘Niagara Movement’ (pp. 88-89)? Do they seem radical to you?
11. Did you realize that the Southern States became more segregated (socially, culturally, and legally) after the Civil War? Step by step, decade by decade, state and local legislatures passed laws and ordinances to separate and distinguish ‘white’ and ‘colored’ in every single way imaginable—right up until the mid-1960s. Comment.
12. Du Bois suggests that if the U.S. does not follow its own ideals it might truly become “the land of the thief and the home of the slave” (which was how most countries in the world thought of—and, funny enough, still think of—the United States). Comment.
13. Du Bois recognizes that thoughts—the thoughts in our heads—are “expressions of social forces more than of our own minds. These forces or ideologies embrace more than our reasoned acts” (p. 96). Explain.
14. Explain: “that history may be epitomized in one word—Empire; the domination of white Europe over black Africa and yellow Asia, through political power built on the economic control of labor, income and ideas” (p. 96).

Durst et al. (2014) discuss how some Romani people feel like outsiders within both Roma communities and white Hungarian communities, experiencing discrimination from both groups. This creates contradictory pressures as they feel they do not fully belong within either community. Similar compounding pressures may exist for some groups within American society who feel like outsiders within both their own ethnic group and the wider community.

. The machine was brought to England. The British broke the code machine just before an attack on the British city of Coventry. Churchill, the Prime Minister, faced a dilemma - tell Coventry about the forth-coming attack and save those people but the Germans would know that the British broke the code. The Germans would change it and London could be attacked killing even more people. OR not tell Coventry and protect London and other places.
What would you advise Churchill to do?
Would you tell him to lie about whether he knew?

During Week 5, we studied social stratification and how it influence.docx
During Week 5, we studied social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. After you have read the reading assignment and lecture for this week, please respond to all parts of the discussion by the due date assigned:
What are some of the factors that affect social mobility? Can these be overcome?
Do you believe the structural-functionalist or the social conflict approach best explains social stratification? Why?
How does the media reflect attitudes on gender as far as depicting women and men in very traditional roles? Provide two detailed examples that substantiate your points—these can be an advertisement, television show, website, or magazine.
When you think of various groups (race, class, and gender) in society, which ones have the most power and which ones have the least? Using Intersection Theory, identify two groups that have unequal amounts of power and resources, being specific and using the text and outside resources. For each group, has the power dynamic changed over time? Do you think it will change in the future? Why or why not?

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
