The document provides tips for answering extended response exam questions in sociology. It advises students to identify the key elements of the question to ensure they answer it properly. As an example, it analyzes a sample question about changes in traditional gender roles in families over the last 30 years. It outlines some of the traditional roles of men and women, and then discusses how roles have become more equal and symmetrical today, with women having careers and men more involved in childcare. However, it also notes that women still often have a "dual burden" of both working and doing most of the domestic duties. In conclusion, while sociologists largely agree roles have changed, traditional expectations of women's roles still exist to some degree.

![How do I apply my knowledge to exam questions?How do I answer the extended answer questions?<br />What do examiners expect me to write?<br />Tips<br />Pick out the key elements of the question- this helps you to ensure that you answer the question properly.<br />E.g. To what extent would sociologists agree that the roles of men and women in the family have changed in the last 30 years?<br />This question is asking you to talk about whether the roles of men and women in the family have changed. As the question is asking to what extent, you should be giving examples of what has changed and contrasting it with the roles that haven’t. You also must come up with a concluding statement which summarises your answer.<br />Some sociologists argue that the roles of men and women in the family have changed over the last 30 years, there is much evidence to support this.<br />Women in the past would mainly stay at home and look after the children. This was their caring housewife role, where they would also be in charge of the cooking and the cleaning as well as the emotional needs of the family. The men’s role was to be the breadwinner and to look after any DIY around the home. Times have changed; many of today’s women have careers, so many families have a dual income (where both the man and woman work). This has led to the household tasks becoming shared more equally between the men and the women, sociologists refer to this as the symmetrical family. Today’s men are also taking more of a role in bringing up the children, recent research suggests that many fathers want to spend more time with their children.<br />However, there are some sociologists who argue that some things in the family have not changed. Some women are argued to have a dual burden- this is where they go out to work and still take the role of the cooking, cleaning and caring for the children. There is even the notion of a triple burden, where as well as the tasks mentioned as part of the dual burden, they are expected to take care of the emotional needs of the family and sort out problems.<br />So in conclusion many sociologists would agree that the roles have changed in the past 30 years, but there are still many traditional tasks that women are expected to do as part of their role in the family.<br />1–34–67–910–12Basic statements.

Answer the following questions. Identify each questions by chapter a.docx
Answer the following questions. Identify each questions by chapter and number and write your responses after each.
What is meant by the idea that race, class, and gender are interactive systems rather than individual variables? Think about your own family of orientation, and take one particular aspect of your family life as an example. Discuss briefly how race, class, and gender act simultaneously to shape that aspect of your family life.
Most people agree that marriages and families underwent major changes during the last half of the twentieth century; however, few people link these changes to larger societal changes that have taken place. Identify some of the major changes that have taken place during the past 50 years (for example, in transportation, technology, and social welfare policies), and discuss their impact on contemporary marriages and families. Reflect on your own family and consider how one such change has affected your family and/or families like yours.
Why do sociologists need different theoretical perspectives to explain marriage and family behavior? Why isn’t one perspective sufficient?
Identify a family from a culture other than the United States. Interview family members in terms of a range of issues, including family values, norms, customs, and rituals relative to marriage, childbearing, and childrearing. Compare your findings to families born and raised in the United States. How does your research help you to understand these sociological concepts, and what does it tell us about the diversity of marriages and families?
As discussed in this chapter, marriages and families today are faced with a myriad of challenges such as home foreclosures, unemployment, violence, poverty, and racism. If you were a member of a team charged with developing social policy pertaining to American families, what aspect of family life would you focus on, how might you research the topic, and what kind of policy(ies) might you suggest to policy makers?

Introduction
In this course, you’ll learn about the different ways families interact, both with children and without children. Some are the traditional family made up of two married parents and their children, but there are several different and varied family types. These include single-parent families, stepfamilies, and same-sex couples and families.
Regardless of the type of family, all families must complete some family tasks and develop the skills and foundations necessary to complete those tasks. These common tasks are essential to the function of every family. However, the ways they are completed are unique to each family.
In this lesson, you will learn to understand how the family functions as a system, as you develop an understanding of family systems theory. You’ll learn about family tasks, and the strategies different families employ to complete those tasks. Topics covered include:
Defining the Family
Family Systems
Family Tasks
Family Strategies
The Family as a System
Family systems theory, developed by Dr. Murray Bowen, states that the individual cannot be understood outside of the context of the family. The family is a single, functional emotional unit, and all parts impact and change one another. All types of families, both traditional and non-traditional, function as systems.

As indicated by research, talk is the research of how authors and speakers utilize words to impact a group of people. Be that as it may, the critical research is an article that breaks a work of true to life into parts and in this method, utilizes them to discover how they team up to make a specific impact which is purposed to convince, attract or rather educate the given group of onlookers. However, you should to always save in understanding that scholars of different orders and they regularly utilize different written work procedures which are to help them complete their goals. In this way, it is all altogether different how we should to investigate a relevant article has contrast with a humanities author. What's more, more in this way, the writers have completely different objectives as a primary concern and in this manner driving them to have different composition systems.
The main thing in the reasonable testing is scan the writer's article carefully and seeing every one of the things that you have read. You have to likewise be uncommonly sharp in distinguishing the author's theory and dependably keep their concept of contention through your peruse. After you have read and understood the entire article, or disagreement, then you have to kick back and now begin analyze a well-ordered every one of the elements which have remained used as a part of that piece. On the other hand, main disagreement in transit, you can take as much time as is needed and think back to the sources or the entire struggle.
As you are doing it the second time, you ought to have the accompanying inquiries as a top advantage so you must to answer them as you read through the record. In the first place, you should be quick to know what's the suggestion of the dispute, what did the dramatist think about? What is his or her prompting in structure this piece of work?

After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. .docx
After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. management about the recommendations for the
incentives and performance appraisal projects, the HR generalist has been assigned a project that will prove to be
very challenging: assessing the competitiveness of the company benefits package.
The owners of StopNShopToday, Inc. are very concerned about the escalation of health insurance costs. When they
started the business in 1991, benefit costs were much less and employees were happier with what the company
provided. Now, however, the owners regularly hear employee complaints about the growing health insurance
premiums they pay.
In addition, the owners are tired of employees always requesting that they be allowed to take a greater number of
paid personal absence days. Scheduling employee vacations and holidays is difficult because the company's store
locations are open all day and every day, except for Christmas and New Year's day. As a result, the owners want to
compare StopNShopToday, Inc.'s benefits package with other similar companies. They intend to use these facts to
make better decisions and communicate their problems more accurately to employees.
As the HR generalist, you quickly realize that the corporation had never quantified the total costs of benefits. After 1
month of exhaustive review of benefits bills and payroll records, you have summarized the corporate compensation
and benefits costs as seen in the following:
Percent of Total Compensation:
• Total wages and salaries: 50%
• Total benefits costs: 25%
• Paid leave: 5%
• Supplemental leave: 2%
• Insurance: 6%
• Retirement and savings: 2%
• Legally required benefits: 10%
• Other benefits: 0%
With this information, you will now attempt an external benefits comparison. To get benefits data from other
companies, review the following data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some of the
most pertinent survey results are in Appendix A.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 2005 data.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 1986–2001 data.
Prepare a comparison of the compensation and benefits costs that you will deliver to the company's owners. Create
at least 1 chart to visually depict the most relevant data. Address the issues of greatest concern to the owners.
Provide several paragraphs to summarize your findings. Use Appendix A or additional data provided in the U.S.
Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics documents.

Possible topics:
Topic: Gender and our Bodies: Investigate the gender of current products designed to help people alter their bodies in some way. You might begin by making a list of all the products that fall into this category (if you are creative, this could be a fairly long list). Then think about which of these products seem to be aimed primarily at men, which at men, and which at both sexes. Look at the advertisements for these products in magazines, television ads, or on the internet. What gender messages are begin sent in these advertisements? What does your investigation suggest about men’s and women’s feelings about their bodies? (as an alternative, you can do research on how we manipulate our body to meet the gender binary goal e.g. cosmetic surgery)
Topic: Culture and Menstruation Taboos: Many cultures have menstruation taboos, dictating behaviors women can and cannot engage in when they are menstruating. Use online resources and your library to do some research on how different cultures think about menstruation and the norms they have regarding this biological process. How do these practices compare with those in your own culture?
Topic: Division of Labor in your Household: Write an essay in which you describe what the division of household labor was like in your own house growing up. Who did what, and how did everyone seem to feel about it? Were there tensions over who did what tasks? What would be your ideal division of household labor if you were to form your own household?
Topic: Couples and Household Labor: Interview some couple about their division of household labor. You might interview both together or each separately. Come up with an extensive list of all the tasks that are involved in maintaining a household, and ask your ...

Strategic Issues
After the needs assessment has been completed, the next element of the strategic plan involves developing the strategic issues. Key tasks associated with the strategic issues include conducting a gap analysis, performing an environmental scan, and developing stakeholder surveys. The actions are performed so that you can conduct a SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORUNITIES, and THREATS. A SWOT analysis is used to help an agency, organization, or community better understand the business and environment in which it operates. The goal of developing strategic issues is to list or map out all of the strengths and weaknesses, and then to do the same for all of the opportunities and threats. This helps the organization to identify a strategy for planning. Opportunities that match the strengths are things that should be pursued. Threats that particularly align with weaknesses should be especially avoided when developing a strategic plan.
For this Assignment, you complete a SWOT analysis for Natasha House, Inc.
To prepare:
Review Final Project: Developing a Strategic Plan –S.W.O.T Analysis media in the Weekly Resources.

What is “Culture”?
Set of guidelines that people inherit from their social environments
that guide how they view the world, respond to it, and behave
in it.
Not synonymous with race, ethnicity, social class, or
immigration status
Impacts us continuously, whether we are aware of it or not
Fluid and changes as cultures and individuals interact
Transmitted across generations
Privilege exists within cultures
and most career theories do not adequately address it…

Interaction between your own identities, social location and agency, specific life events and circumstances, and upbringing
Family can provide important context
Don’t exist in isolation - impacted by external things/systems.

Multiple Identities
We all have multiple identities that shape us and our daily experiences.
Some identities may offer us advantages, and others may offer us disadvantages
Assumptions about us based on these identities will be made, and these assumptions also impact us.
Having awareness of your identities and how they impact you as a person is important, for yourself as a person and your career.
Identities can be formed by culture but culture can also be formed by identity.

Cyber athletes construct a particular identity or form a space for themselves based on their formation of a subculture as a whole. How is this identity and space constructed in society?

The women bodybuilding subculture illustrates an image of domination over personal domain. Women bodybuilders create a spectacle with the collapsing of gender binaries as seen in their exaggerated musculature and hyper-feminine mode of dress. The contradictory appearance reveals an underlying struggle between sub-cultural control and hegemonic impression.
Lori
There has been a conflict between those gays who have wanted to celebrate and emphasize the very things that make them different and those who want to be absorbed into mainstream culture. The establishment of the gay ghettos can be perceived as doing either or both of these things.

Do surfers as a subculture still exist? And if so, what measures do its members take to preserve their subculture?
How has technology influenced surfers’ sublimation into mainstream culture? In other words, how has technology opened surfing to the masses?

Introduction
In this course, you’ll learn about the different ways families interact, both with children and without children. Some are the traditional family made up of two married parents and their children, but there are several different and varied family types. These include single-parent families, stepfamilies, and same-sex couples and families.
Regardless of the type of family, all families must complete some family tasks and develop the skills and foundations necessary to complete those tasks. These common tasks are essential to the function of every family. However, the ways they are completed are unique to each family.
In this lesson, you will learn to understand how the family functions as a system, as you develop an understanding of family systems theory. You’ll learn about family tasks, and the strategies different families employ to complete those tasks. Topics covered include:
Defining the Family
Family Systems
Family Tasks
Family Strategies
The Family as a System
Family systems theory, developed by Dr. Murray Bowen, states that the individual cannot be understood outside of the context of the family. The family is a single, functional emotional unit, and all parts impact and change one another. All types of families, both traditional and non-traditional, function as systems.

However, you should to always save in understanding that scholars of different orders and they regularly utilize different written work procedures which are to help them complete their goals. In this way, it is all altogether different how we should to investigate a relevant article has contrast with a humanities author. What's more, more in this way, the writers have completely different objectives as a primary concern and in this manner driving them to have different composition systems.
The main thing in the reasonable testing is scan the writer's article carefully and seeing every one of the things that you have read. You have to likewise be uncommonly sharp in distinguishing the author's theory and dependably keep their concept of contention through your peruse. After you have read and understood the entire article, or disagreement, then you have to kick back and now begin analyze a well-ordered every one of the elements which have remained used as a part of that piece. On the other hand, main disagreement in transit, you can take as much time as is needed and think back to the sources or the entire struggle.

After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. .docx
After receiving a positive response from StopNShopToday, Inc. management about the recommendations for the
incentives and performance appraisal projects, the HR generalist has been assigned a project that will prove to be
very challenging: assessing the competitiveness of the company benefits package.
The owners of StopNShopToday, Inc. are very concerned about the escalation of health insurance costs. When they
started the business in 1991, benefit costs were much less and employees were happier with what the company
provided. Now, however, the owners regularly hear employee complaints about the growing health insurance
premiums they pay.
In addition, the owners are tired of employees always requesting that they be allowed to take a greater number of
paid personal absence days. Scheduling employee vacations and holidays is difficult because the company's store
locations are open all day and every day, except for Christmas and New Year's day. As a result, the owners want to
compare StopNShopToday, Inc.'s benefits package with other similar companies. They intend to use these facts to
make better decisions and communicate their problems more accurately to employees.
As the HR generalist, you quickly realize that the corporation had never quantified the total costs of benefits. After 1
month of exhaustive review of benefits bills and payroll records, you have summarized the corporate compensation
and benefits costs as seen in the following:
Percent of Total Compensation:
• Total wages and salaries: 50%
• Total benefits costs: 25%
• Paid leave: 5%
• Supplemental leave: 2%
• Insurance: 6%
• Retirement and savings: 2%
• Legally required benefits: 10%
• Other benefits: 0%
With this information, you will now attempt an external benefits comparison. To get benefits data from other
companies, review the following data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some of the
most pertinent survey results are in Appendix A.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 2005 data.
Click here to view the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics 1986–2001 data.
Prepare a comparison of the compensation and benefits costs that you will deliver to the company's owners. Create
at least 1 chart to visually depict the most relevant data. Address the issues of greatest concern to the owners.
Provide several paragraphs to summarize your findings. Use Appendix A or additional data provided in the U.S.
Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics documents.

Possible topics:
Topic: Gender and our Bodies: Investigate the gender of current products designed to help people alter their bodies in some way. You might begin by making a list of all the products that fall into this category (if you are creative, this could be a fairly long list). Then think about which of these products seem to be aimed primarily at men, which at men, and which at both sexes. Look at the advertisements for these products in magazines, television ads, or on the internet. What gender messages are begin sent in these advertisements? What does your investigation suggest about men’s and women’s feelings about their bodies? (as an alternative, you can do research on how we manipulate our body to meet the gender binary goal e.g. cosmetic surgery)
Topic: Culture and Menstruation Taboos: Many cultures have menstruation taboos, dictating behaviors women can and cannot engage in when they are menstruating. Use online resources and your library to do some research on how different cultures think about menstruation and the norms they have regarding this biological process. How do these practices compare with those in your own culture?
Topic: Division of Labor in your Household: Write an essay in which you describe what the division of household labor was like in your own house growing up. Who did what, and how did everyone seem to feel about it? Were there tensions over who did what tasks? What would be your ideal division of household labor if you were to form your own household?
Topic: Couples and Household Labor: Interview some couple about their division of household labor. You might interview both together or each separately. Come up with an extensive list of all the tasks that are involved in maintaining a household, and ask your ...

Strategic Issues
After the needs assessment has been completed, the next element of the strategic plan involves developing the strategic issues. Key tasks associated with the strategic issues include conducting a gap analysis, performing an environmental scan, and developing stakeholder surveys. The actions are performed so that you can conduct a SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORUNITIES, and THREATS. A SWOT analysis is used to help an agency, organization, or community better understand the business and environment in which it operates. The goal of developing strategic issues is to list or map out all of the strengths and weaknesses, and then to do the same for all of the opportunities and threats. This helps the organization to identify a strategy for planning. Opportunities that match the strengths are things that should be pursued. Threats that particularly align with weaknesses should be especially avoided when developing a strategic plan.
For this Assignment, you complete a SWOT analysis for Natasha House, Inc.
To prepare:

What is “Culture”?
Set of guidelines that people inherit from their social environments
that guide how they view the world, respond to it, and behave
in it.
Not synonymous with race, ethnicity, social class, or
immigration status
Impacts us continuously, whether we are aware of it or not
Fluid and changes as cultures and individuals interact
Transmitted across generations
Privilege exists within cultures
and most career theories do not adequately address it…

Interaction between your own identities, social location and agency, specific life events and circumstances, and upbringing
Family can provide important context
Don’t exist in isolation - impacted by external things/systems.

Multiple Identities
We all have multiple identities that shape us and our daily experiences.
Some identities may offer us advantages, and others may offer us disadvantages
Assumptions about us based on these identities will be made, and these assumptions also impact us.
Having awareness of your identities and how they impact you as a person is important, for yourself as a person and your career.
Identities can be formed by culture but culture can also be formed by identity.

The women bodybuilding subculture illustrates an image of domination over personal domain. Women bodybuilders create a spectacle with the collapsing of gender binaries as seen in their exaggerated musculature and hyper-feminine mode of dress.
