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

A Rose by Any Other Name: Attitudes Toward
Feminism as a Function of Its Label
Marsha B. Jacobson
University of Dayton
Male and female subjects were asked to rate one of the following labels on a
variety of evaluative dimensions: ''equal rights for women" (ERW), ''feminism"
(FEM), "women's liberation" (WLN) and "women's lib" (WLB). It was found
that there were differences among the labels, with ERW being the most positive-
ly evaluated and WLN being the most negatively evaluated. Furthermore, there
were sex differences on some of the dimensions wherein females made more
favorable evaluations than males. Subjects' ratings were mixed, being favorable
on some dimensions and unfavorable on others Interpretations and implications
of the results are discussed.
The concept of women's political, economic, and social rights goes by various
names. The four most common labels for this concept are ''equal rights for wom-
en," "feminism," "women.

major contributions made by
each
of the following sociologists: Marx (3 contributions), Durkheim (3 contributions), and Weber (3 contributions). Then choose any one of the nine contributions and discuss what makes that particular contribution important for the discipline of sociology. Be sure to provide some detail on how the particular contribution you chose significantly impacted sociology.
3.Explain the process of cultural diffusion and how it contributes to cultural leveling. Be sure to provide a concrete example of cultural diffusion and cultural leveling. Then discuss two ways in which this process is positive for our world and two ways in which this process is negative for our world.

Instructions
In this second unit we have discussed some of the main qualitative methods of research in Psychology, focusing on how these methods open new and critical possibilities regarding a more in-depth inquiry that pays attention to constructivist, anthropological, phenomenological, discursive and other "alternative" elements (different from mainstream psychology and strict quantitative methods) in specific situations of daily life. Bearing this in mind:
Discuss the importance of these qualitative approaches of inquiry in building and sustaining a "critical psychology" that is interested in understanding how:
1) knowledge is produced, used and appropriated (depending on the different functions of knowledge and its contexts, including psychology) from a constructivist view that questions the fallacy of objectivity (or the "world as given")
2) experience is framed and signified (depending on the social, cultural and particular context of the group or individual), which critically questions the fallacy of the centrality of the individual.
3) the underlying ideologies, discourses and relations of power oppress, stigmatize or alienate certain sections of society, which assumes the importance of studying the uses of language and knowledge (which are not neutral or "objective").
Take into account the following when elaborating the essay:
1. You will notice that there are three (3) interests in these approaches of inquiry. I am interested in that you at least elaborate one of them. In essence, the three of them are
inter-related, so elaborating any of them in-depth will be enough for the purposes of this
essay.
2. There’s several theoretical frameworks (from constructivist and feminist theories to
colonial and ethnological theories) and methods (ranging from ground theory to analysis of
discourse and narrative analysis) that you can choose fro.

3) the underlying ideologies, discourses and relations of power oppress, stigmatize or alienate certain sections of society, which assumes the importance of studying the uses of language and knowledge (which are not neutral or "objective").
Take into account the following when elaborating the essay:
1. You will notice that there are three (3) interests in these approaches of inquiry. I am interested in that you at least elaborate one of them. In essence, the three of them are
inter-related, so elaborating any of them in-depth will be enough for the purposes of this
essay.
2. There’s several theoretical frameworks (from constructivist and feminist theories to
colonial and ethnological theories) and methods (ranging from ground theory to analysis of
discourse and narrative analysis) that you can choose fro.

Final “Summary Reflection” Essay Topic Possibilities:
This essay is due Wednesday, April 19th
Instructions:
Choose one of the following topics and write your essay
in accordance with the guidelines regarding the structure and
the content of “summary reflection” essays I posted separately on Blackboard.
Possible Topics:
1) At the beginning of Plato's Meno, Meno offers Socrates several definitions of virtue
or
arete. None of the definitions satisfy Socrates. Reviewing the definitions and
Socrates' responses to them, what seems to be the major fault of each in Socrates'
eyes? Do you think Socrates is raising legitimate objections to the definitions? Why
or why not? Discuss as critically and creatively as possible.
2) In his attempt to refute Meno's definition of virtue as "the desire of things honorable
and the power of attaining them," Socrates argues that "no one desires that which is
evil." Explain the definition and Socrates' refutation of it in detail. What is Socrates'
argument exactly, and how does it serve to show that Meno's definition is inadequate?
Do you think Socrates' argument is legitimate? Why or why not? Discuss as
critically and creatively as possible.
3) After attempting to define "virtue" unsuccessfully, Meno finally gives up and admits
that he does not know what virtue is. Socrates then invites Meno to join a mutual
inquiry regarding the nature of virtue. At this suggestion, Meno introduces a paradox
which, if legitimate, would make inquiry into the nature of virtue impossible. What is
the paradox, and how does Socrates respond to it? What do you think of Socrates'
response? How, in other words, do you read the nature and the significance of
Socrates' notion of "learning as recollection"? Discuss as critically and creatively as
possible.
4) After arguing that all learning is recollection, Socrates lets Meno talk him into an
investigation of the teach-ability of virtue. How does Socrates approach this question,
and what seems to be his ultimate answer? Do you think the answer Meno and
Socrates give to the problem is the answer Plato wants us to accept? Explain your
answer, and in the process, discuss, if you wish, how you think virtue is acquired.
Discuss as critically and creatively as possible.
5) One of the key implications of Plato's famous "Parable of the Cave" (despite it's rather
tragic ending) is that true freedom involves attaining knowledge of ultimate reality –
(otherwise, we will be perpetually enslaved to the "shadows on the wall" which are
no more than illusions). In other words, Plato would have us believe that
enlightenment is liberating. Of course, this notion is famously captured by the phrase,
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Considering this general viewpoint, t.

ASA Style Guide (Links to an external site.)
Each journal is worth 33.33 points.
Journal #1, Chapter 1 and Coronavirus
Define and describe the sociological imagination. Using the concept of the sociological imagination, discuss how our society’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic is shaping your life (remember, it is society’s response to the Coronavirus that is shaping our lives, not only the virus itself*). Please address the economy, education, media, and/or family (choose two).
*Imagine living 1000 years ago: The virus itself may not have spread as rapidly since (most) people did not live in large urban areas. The virus would not have spread across the entire world because there was not regular contact (through travel, commerce, etc.) between different countries or societies. People sick with the virus who needed respirator would not be in the hospital using a respirator because there were no hospitals or respirators. People would not have been getting information on the virus through the media, because there was no mass media. The social world affects the spread of the virus and how society responds to the virus.
Journal #2, Social Class, Race-Ethnicity and Coronavirus
Drawing from Chapters 7 & 8 AND a newspaper article or news story of your choice (from a credible source like the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Fox, CNN, etc. – make sure to provide a citation of your source) discuss how and why social class and/or racial-ethnic inequality are shaping the Coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. (You may focus on social class or race-ethnicity, or you may focus on both social class and race-ethnicity. You may focus on a specific U.S. city or state or the entire nation).
Journal #3, Theory and Coronavirus
Drawing from any chapter you would like, discuss the major tenets of functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Discuss which theory you find the most helpful in understanding the spread of the Coronavirus and our society’ response to the virus?

**Your answers are to be typed and turned in on the 17th in class.**
1. Explain the difference between associative learning and observational learning.
2. Explain the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
3. Define the 4 important components of classical conditioning (UCS, CS, UCR, CR). Then, provide an example of a classical conditioning experiment using examples NOT used in class and not from the internet (when half the class has the same examples, I know something is up). Basically, you will be providing an example of an experiment where a UCS & NS are paired until you have a CS-CR response. This does not have to be a proven experiment, you will be making something up. I’m not grading you on whether it would work, merely if you are providing examples that go along with the theory – namely, if you are using reflexive/involuntary responses and neutral stimuli.
4. Define and provide an example for the 4 key components of operant conditioning (PR, NR, PP, NP). The rules are the same as above, not from class and not from the internet.
5. Describe the four processes that must exist in order for observational learning to occur.
6. Explain the 3 additional form of learning we discussed in class – expectancy, latent, and insight – defining and providing an example to support your explanation.
7. Pick one of the categories of areas that can affect learning – biological constraints, culture, or psychological constraints – and discuss how learning is affected within the area you chose.

Module 3 -Critical and Conspiracy Theories (Contemporary Philosophies).pdf
Here are some potential reasons why conspiracy theories may be popular and attractive:
- They provide explanations and narratives that give a sense of understanding and control in an uncertain world. By identifying hidden forces and agendas, conspiracy theories reduce randomness and complexity.
- They appeal to our innate desire to find patterns and agency behind events. It can be psychologically uncomfortable to accept that some things happen arbitrarily or through unintended consequences.
- They allow people to feel special or enlightened by believing they have access to secret or obscured truths that others cannot see. This enhances feelings of identity and community among believers.
- They undermine faith in authority and established institutions/explanations, which some find appealing. Conspiracy theories level perceived

Role of the Military in Disaster.docx
The military plays an important role in responding to domestic disasters by providing personnel, equipment, and logistical support. During 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, fighter jets patrolled cities and the National Guard and Coast Guard conducted large-scale rescue operations. While the military is effective at disaster response, there are also debates around federalizing the National Guard, authorizing deadly force, and declaring martial law during relief efforts.
Role of telemedinine in disease preventions.docx
Telemedicine can play an important role in preventive medicine by allowing medical professionals to monitor patients remotely, collect health data over time, and intervene early if signs of disease emerge. However, the source material did not include a full research article describing a study on this topic. It only listed keywords and did not provide details on goals, methods, findings or impact. More information would be needed to fully evaluate telemedicine's role in prevention.

Journal #1, Chapter 1 and Coronavirus
Define and describe the sociological imagination. Using the concept of the sociological imagination, discuss how our society’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic is shaping your life (remember, it is society’s response to the Coronavirus that is shaping our lives, not only the virus itself*). Please address the economy, education, media, and/or family (choose two).
*Imagine living 1000 years ago: The virus itself may not have spread as rapidly since (most) people did not live in large urban areas. The virus would not have spread across the entire world because there was not regular contact (through travel, commerce, etc.) between different countries or societies. People sick with the virus who needed respirator would not be in the hospital using a respirator because there were no hospitals or respirators. People would not have been getting information on the virus through the media, because there was no mass media. The social world affects the spread of the virus and how society responds to the virus.
Journal #2, Social Class, Race-Ethnicity and Coronavirus
Drawing from Chapters 7 & 8 AND a newspaper article or news story of your choice (from a credible source like the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Fox, CNN, etc. – make sure to provide a citation of your source) discuss how and why social class and/or racial-ethnic inequality are shaping the Coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. (You may focus on social class or race-ethnicity, or you may focus on both social class and race-ethnicity. You may focus on a specific U.S. city or state or the entire nation).
Journal #3, Theory and Coronavirus
Drawing from any chapter you would like, discuss the major tenets of functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Discuss which theory you find the most helpful in understanding the spread of the Coronavirus and our society’ response to the virus?
*Hint: Chapter 1 provides an overview of the three theories ...

Short Answer Questions
**Your answers are to be typed and turned in on the 17th in class.**
1. Explain the difference between associative learning and observational learning.
2. Explain the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
3. Define the 4 important components of classical conditioning (UCS, CS, UCR, CR). Then, provide an example of a classical conditioning experiment using examples NOT used in class and not from the internet (when half the class has the same examples, I know something is up). Basically, you will be providing an example of an experiment where a UCS & NS are paired until you have a CS-CR response. This does not have to be a proven experiment, you will be making something up. I’m not grading you on whether it would work, merely if you are providing examples that go along with the theory – namely, if you are using reflexive/involuntary responses and neutral stimuli.
4. Define and provide an example for the 4 key components of operant conditioning (PR, NR, PP, NP). The rules are the same as above, not from class and not from the internet.
5. Describe the four processes that must exist in order for observational learning to occur.
6. Explain the 3 additional form of learning we discussed in class – expectancy, latent, and insight – defining and providing an example to support your explanation.
7. Pick one of the categories of areas that can affect learning – biological constraints, culture, or psychological constraints – and discuss how learning is affected within the area you chose.

Module 3 -Critical and Conspiracy Theories (Contemporary Philosophies).pdf
Here are some potential reasons why conspiracy theories may be popular and attractive:
- They provide explanations and narratives that give a sense of understanding and control in an uncertain world. By identifying hidden forces and agendas, conspiracy theories reduce randomness and complexity.
- They appeal to our innate desire to find patterns and agency behind events. It can be psychologically uncomfortable to accept that some things happen arbitrarily or through unintended consequences.
- They allow people to feel special or enlightened by believing they have access to secret or obscured truths that others cannot see. This enhances feelings of identity and community among believers.
- They undermine faith in authority and established institutions/explanations, which some find appealing. Conspiracy theories level perceived

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

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Essay Strengths and Weaknesses.docx
- 1. Essay B: Hedonism’s Strengths and Weaknesses Suggested length: approximately 5-7 typed double spaced pages, with 1-inch margins and a 12 point font. (5 typed double spaced pages in Times New Roman 12 is about 1800 words.) The readings from Mill and Nozick (for Essay B) are from the following text: Ethical Theory: An Anthology, Second Edition. Edited by Russ Shafer-Landau. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2013. Refer to text Fundamentals of Ethics by Russ Shafer-Landau.(a) a complete explanation of hedonism – what kind of a theory it is, and its main claim. This requires distinguishing – with examples – between intrinsic and instrumental value, and between physical and attitudinal pleasure.(b) an explanation, with your own examples, of three of the first five of the“most important reasons that hedonism has won so many fans” (pp. 26- 29):(1) There Are Many Models of a Good Life; (2) Personal Authority and Well-Being; (3) Misery Clearly Hampers a Good Life; Happiness Clearly Improves It; (4) The Limits of Explanation; (5) Rules of the Good Life – and Their Exceptions. Please note that these are simply titles of different sections in the chapter. You do not need to include them in your discussion. What is essential is that you clearly explain the philosophical point in the section. (c) a complete explanation of any two of the following three objections to hedonism: (a) Nozick’s experience machine (in the reading selection from Nozick and in FOE, pp. 36-37, in the section on “False Happiness”) (b) The Importance of Autonomy (FOE, pp. 37-39) (c) Life’s Trajectory (FOE, pp. 40-41) (Again, flesh out the objections with your own examples). Objections to philosophical theories are reasons for thinking the theory is false. How exactly do the objections you’ve chosen show this about hedonism? (d) and last, your own assessment of hedonism: in your view, which is the stronger case: the reasons in favor of hedonism (in Chapter 1 of FOE) or the reasons against hedonism (in Chapter 2 of FOE), and why? You will be graded on: • The degree to which your paper reflects an accurate grasp of the theory of hedonism: what it is, and the reasons for and against it. • Your ability to critically evaluate the theory and explain why you agree or disagree it • Your ability to do (1) and (2) above in clear prose that is intelligible to the naïve reader (someone who hasn’t taken this class). In other words, all of the elements of good writing matter and will be graded.
