samuel699872

Social Media: Argument Introduction: . . . think about your own experiences with social media. To what extent have you come to rely on your friend’s profiles status updates, or Twitter feeds to mark events and occurrences in their lives? How much of your social life do you manage in person, and how much do you manage through the devices (cell phones, laptops, netbooks) that increasingly dominate our lives? --Alfano and O’Brien Assignment Description: Choose one of the following topics: 1. Criticize or celebrate a form of social media for its effects on culture. 2. Argue whether or not the self - reflective aspect of Facebook leads to greater happiness, as Clive Thompson concludes in “I’m So Totally, Digitally, Close to You.” 3. Argue whether or not Twitter or other social media can be an effective tool for social activists (see Evgeny Morozov, “From Slacktivism to Activism”). In order to earn a C or above, your essay should include the following: • At least two additional, reliable source s that you research on your own. • At least one article from “Social Lives and Social Media” section of Ch. 11 (summaries and paraphrases in your own words and sentence structure, as well as some brief, correctly integrated direct quotations). • A minimum of 4 FULL double-spaced pages (not 3 -1/2 or 3 -3/4). Every available line should be used . Do not include a cover page. • 12-point Times New Roman font and 1” margins. • An introduction that sets up your argument. • Effectively organized paragraphs with strong topic sentences and transitions . • Proper MLA page headers . • Proper MLA in-text citations for all paraphrases and direct quotations from the article . • A conclusion that does not merely restate your thesis but that leaves the reader with further ‘food for thought.’ • A works cited page in correct MLA format (which does NOT count towards your page minimum) since you will be quoting and paraphrasing from at least two sources total . Additio nal criteria: • A thesis that puts forth a clear, debatable argument. • Facts, statistics, and/or expert opinions that support your argument. You may include quotes when the language the writer uses either cannot be said any other way, or is so special you want to call attention to it. You should mostly summarize and paraphrase information from the researched articles you have found. Your essay should indicate that you have actually read and learned new information from your sources, not merely found a few things to quote. • When you do quote, the quotes should be properly integrated (no drop quotes) and use MLA style. • Clear and concise writing, with proper vocabulary. • You may use your own experiences and the experiences of others to support your ideas, but most of your support for your thesis should come from outside sources. .

The Week 5 Homework 2 Assignment meets the following course objectiv.docx

sharondabriggs

The Week 5 Homework 2 Assignment 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. Demonstrate the ability to identify, locate, and retrieve information related to the topics in the course. Develop written communication skills and critical thinking skills. Apply American Psychological Association formatting and citation style when completing course assignments. Purpose: The primary goal of this exercise is to apply your developing sociological knowledge and skills to the analysis of a current event. Directions and Suggestions: Choosing a Current Event. A current event refers to something that is happening in the world at present (i.e. the war, the presidential inauguration, 1:4 teenage girls contracting an STD, etc), and they are usually described on the news and in mass media.You must choose a report (written, from the radio, or televised) of an event that has been reported on within 3 months of the assignment deadline.Remember, the event you choose must have some relevance to the study of society, and you must properly cite the source from which you got your report. Describe the Current Event. Second, you will need to provide a brief summary of the current event.This should include details such as location, timing ( i.e is this an ongoing event, does it appear to be a one time event, is this an example of an event that happens frequently), people involved, and any analysis offered by the report( er ). Analyzing the Current Event. The final step in the process is conducting an analysis of the current event using knowledge you have gained from the course to-date.The most important thing here is that the analysis should not just be your opinion about the current event, but grounded in sociological theory and prior research.You will need to use at least 6 sociological concepts covered in this course to analyze the current event (i.e. social construction, stratification, social control, crime, deviance). ( hint : sociological concepts should be clearly identified, defined AND then applied; ANY paraphrasing or direct quotes used from another source should include APA formatted in-text citations and a full citation at the end of the essay) References. Remember you must cite the source from which you found your current event report as well as any of the readings you directly or partly referenced. Proper APA citation style for a TV episode is: Director. (Year originally aired.) Episode Title. Series Title . Production Company. Date aired when you saw it. Example : Frankonovic , F. 2008. The War in Iraq. The Evening News. WPIX New Jersey. February 20, 2008. Proper APA Citation style for a magazine or newspaper article (not a journal) is: 1- Author's last name, followed by a comma and the first initial and middle initial, ending with a per.

Social Problem Research Project IntroductionFor the res.docx

whitneyleman54422

Social Problem Research Project: Introduction For the research project, which will span the last few modules, you will choose a problem in society that you feel needs a solution or improvement. Then, you will research the problem, including its causes and effects, and propose a practical solution (or two) to the issue. You will argue your problem in a researched, academic essay. This assignment has four major parts: Part 1: A memorandum where you will acknowledge your purpose and goals in a formal writing format (100 points due in Module 6) Part 2: Annotated Bibliography in which you list and detail your sources (100 points due in Module 6) Part 3: A digitial presentation, where you will organize and detail your intended essay’s research via PowerPoint or similar program. (100 points due in Module 7) Part 4: An argumentative research essay for the academic community, where you will detail the problem and its potential solution(s) persuasively with credible research for evidence and backing (200 points due in Module 8) Topic Selection It’s important for you to choose a topic that you are passionate about so that you are more invested in its research. I will not choose a topic for you, but I do have some guidelines: Off-Limit Topics: If the major backing for a topic roots itself in opinion, morality, or religious belief, then it is not an effective topic for an academic inquiry. For those reasons, please avoid the following topics: abortion, religious preference, death penalty, marijuana use, assisted suicide, and gay marriage. Overly General Topics: Your essay will be about 5 pages long; you are not writing a book. Therefore, you need to choose a topic that is manageable. Topics that are too broad include gun control, child abuse, global warming, obesity, sex trafficking, violent media, teen pregnancy, bullying, or drug abuse. Nevertheless, these topics aren’t completely unavailable to you; if you’re interested in one of these ideas, you need to narrow it to a smaller central argument. (See below.) Narrowed, Manageable Topics: Avoid choosing a broad, complex issue that cannot be easily solved. Since you only have a few weeks to work on this paper and to propose effective solutions, you should narrow your topic down into a feasible focus. For example, instead of “gun control,” you could narrow the focus to “A problem in society is that many guns are bought and sold without proper background checks and training.” With this topic, you can research more effectively. As you narrow your topic, make sure you can state it as a problem (e.g. “A problem in society is _________.). Moreover, you should begin to imagine a practical solution for the problem. For example, a solution for your problem would not be that “guns must be eliminated everywhere”; this is too broad and too problematic. A Word of Caution: It’s important that you narrow your topic effectively, but be sure not to narrow too much. For this assignment, you should choose.
