Functionalists and Marxists have differing views on the role of religion in society. Functionalists see religion as promoting shared values and helping society function by providing social cohesion, while Marxists view religion as a way for the ruling class to exert social control and legitimize the unequal economic system by promoting their ideology and cementing the status quo. This document compares the Functionalism and Marxism perspectives on religion and provides guidance on how to write paragraphs that contrast these theoretical viewpoints.

God’s economy midterm
This document provides an outline for studying for a midterm exam on God's Economy. It lists four main topics: 1) The relationship between secularization and religion according to different theorists; 2) Different approaches to studying religion's impact; 3) Political-economic theologies that emerged with religious movements like Lutheranism and Puritanism; 4) Dynamics between theology and economics such as how economics systems are inspired by religion or how religion responds to economic changes. It also briefly discusses Milton Friedman's argument from an essay and lecture about capitalism, efficiency, and economic and political liberties.
For this assignment, you will write a journal entry about the sociol
This document provides an overview of five sociological perspectives - functionalism, conflict theory, feminist theory, symbolic interactionism, and utilitarianism - that can be used to analyze social issues. It instructs the reader to select the perspective that best fits the social issue they chose and to write a journal entry applying that perspective. It also includes examples of how each perspective could be applied in real life and asks the reader to note which examples interest them most.
Marxist theories of religion
Marx saw religion as a feature that arises only in class-divided societies as a way for the ruling class to control the working class and justify their suffering. Religion creates a false consciousness by masking the real problems of exploitation under capitalism and distracting people with promises of reward in the afterlife. However, Marx ignores positive functions of religion and neo-Marxists argue some forms can assist class consciousness.
A2 Sociology: Marxist Theories of Religion
Marxist theories view religion as an ideological tool used by the ruling capitalist class to justify the suffering of the working class and prevent class uprising. Religion tells the poor their suffering will be rewarded in the afterlife. Feminist theories also see many religions as patriarchal institutions that reflect and perpetuate the subordination of women through religious beliefs, organizations, texts, and customs. However, some feminists argue religion has not always oppressed women and it does not do so in all forms. The role of women in some religions is changing as certain churches now allow women to hold positions of religious authority.
Demo 5 Moralist Approach.pptx jjgalefmksdfksmfl
This document discusses approaches to critiquing literature from a moralist and Marxist perspective. It defines moralist criticism as judging a work based on its moral lessons or ethical teachings. Marxist criticism views works as reflections of social institutions and assesses their political message in terms of class struggle. The document provides principles of each approach and how to apply them in critiquing a text, such as considering the work's totality from a moralist view and analyzing class constructs from a Marxist view. An activity asks readers to identify aspects of each approach through multiple choice questions. Finally, readers are assigned a reflection paper on critiquing a selection using these two approaches.

American Protest Literature - Literary Analysis Argument Essay
Assignment Description
Whether it looks backward in order to move America forward, builds connections across movements, demands empathy from readers, transforms its creators, crafts a politics of form, appropriates the master’s tools, or makes words into weapons, American protest literature tries to remake “a world beautiful,” as London puts it. The protest cycle beats on, boats against the current.

SOCW 6060 week3
Week 3: Conflict Theories
Imagine living your life without any problems to solve or obstacles to overcome. What if everyone you encounter held the same beliefs and opinions that you do? How would you continue to learn and mature, without the lessons provided through conflict? Because conflict and adversity are nearly unavoidable, the social worker’s focus often is on helping clients resolve and learn from conflict, in order to continue the progress toward their goals. An understanding of the theories about why conflict exists and how it functions in people’s lives provides the foundation from which social workers can best assist clients in coping with and resolving the conflicts they face.
This week, you evaluate the appropriateness of conflict theories for specific populations and compare their application to social work practice.
Learning Objectives
Students will: Not a Assingment
· Evaluate appropriateness of conflict theories for social work case studies
· Apply social work skills related to conflict theory in social work case studies to specific populations
· Compare conflict theories
· Analyze influences of integrative theories on social work practice
· Analyze congruence between integrative theories and social work ethics and values

Write a 2-3 page examination of an issue in the nursing field using each of the three sociological perspectives.
Introduction
Sociologists use theory to study society. In science, theory is used to develop a deeper understanding of the universe. Although abstract, sociologists use theory to expand on original ideas and develop practical solutions to problems. In sociology, there are three main sociological theories or perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist. Each of these perspectives has a distinct worldview, or interpretation, of the social world and human interaction:
The
functionalist perspective
presents the world as a system of inter-related parts, where all parts must work together for society to function.
For example, if we looked at sports teams, the functionalist perspective would argue that sports teams serve a purpose for society. They have a particular utility that helps society function properly. What purpose do sports teams have? Do they provide us with entertainment? Some people with jobs? Do they help to form a bond between people who otherwise would not be connected? The functionalist perspective would see all of these reasons as important functions of sports teams.
The
conflict perspective
disagrees, seeing society as an arena made up of groups competing over scarce resources in which there are issues of power and structural inequality.
The conflict perspective would see sports teams as groups competing over scarce resources. Those resources may be a title, fans, finances, or athletes. With this struggle between teams, some come out on top and others at the bottom. Thus, there is inherently inequality in sports teams.
Symbolic interactionism
examines the symbols and social meanings we attach to individuals, behavior, objects, or interaction in face-to-face exchanges on a daily basis. The focus is more microcosmic than that of both functionalism and conflict perspective.
Since the symbolic interactionist perspective is a micro-level perspective it will look at the interactions that go on between individuals and small groups in sports teams. Are there symbols that exist between players on teams? Think of the gestures that are used by baseball players as an example. This perspective also looks at how communication differs for people on sports teams than it does for those in other groups. In football, for example, tackling is an acceptable form of interaction. That is not the case in an office setting.
As you can see, each of these three perspectives proposes a framework for interpreting encountered social phenomenon.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Examine how theory and sociological concepts apply to everyday life
.
Describe a current issue or event related to the learner's field.

Workplace Violence in Nursing Discussion.docx
Workplace violence in nursing is a current issue that can be examined through three main sociological perspectives. The functionalist perspective views violence as disrupting social order and stability in healthcare settings. The conflict perspective sees violence as a power struggle between groups competing for limited resources. The symbolic interactionist perspective analyzes how communication and symbols between nurses and patients can escalate tensions and lead to violence. Understanding this issue through different theoretical frameworks provides insight into its causes and potential solutions.
Youve probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of th.docx
You've probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of the chapter's topic using each of the three main sociological paradigms, right? Well, now it's your turn! For this paper, you will need to select a social issue from the list below and analyze it from the perspective of a Structural Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist. Then you'll conclude your paper with an evaluation of the relevance / helpfulness of each perspective for understanding your chosen social issue.
Functionalism is a macro-level theory that looks at the different structures of society like organs in the body - a bunch of different parts working together to maintain the equilibrium of the whole. When functionalists look at an enduring aspect of society, they think, "What is its purpose? What function does this serve?" The functionalism paradigm seeks to understand how all aspects of society, even those that may seem negative or harmful, contribute to the continuity of society, so this perspective tends to bring an optimistic point of view of to social issues.
Conflict theory also takes a macro-level view of society, but this perspective tends to bring a more pessimistic point of view to social issues. Conflict theorists see the world as divided into two groups: a dominant group and a subordinate group. These two groups are in constant conflict, competition, or struggle over control of power and resources, but the dominant group puts structures and institutions in place to maintain control of these resources. The father of conflict theory, Karl Marx, defined the dominant and subordinate group by economic conditions, but more contemporary adaptations of conflict theory define the dominant and subordinate groups along other dimensions. For example, feminist theory defines these groups by gender and critical race theory by race and ethnicity. Regardless of the dimension used to define the dominant and subordinate groups, conflict theorists are interested in analyzing the social forces that maintain inequalities (usually with an eye toward dismantling and changing those systems).
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory, so the type of analysis performed using this perspective will look very different from the macro-level theories above. Symbolic interactionists are interested in interactions and communication between individuals and small groups. Communication, in all its various forms (writing, singing, painting), is a series of symbols, and proponents of this perspective are interested in understanding how we make sense of these symbols and the world around us. How do we imbue meaning and value into these symbols? How do these meanings and values shape how we see the world? How are these meanings and values shared through interaction? How are they changed through interactions?
These three paradigms are like different lenses you can put on (and take off) to see the world. Although they may be used to observe the same socia.

The Assignment: DF #2 - Theoretical Perspectives
Find a newspaper article, online or physical paper, and identify the structural functionalist, social conflict, and symbolic interctionist view of the social issue that is discussed in the article. Think about how each of these perspectives view society. You can get this from your reading of the text. For example, structural functionalists view society as social harmony with a high degree of social order with the institutions meeting their manifest and latent functions, all for the good of society, compared to conflict theorists, which view society as an arena of social inequality; dominant and subordinate groups, competing for scarce resources. In comparison, a symbolic interactinist may view society based upon symbolic meaning, labeling and social construction and the interaction with others in society.

Task Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now .docx
Task:
Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now
to which social movements and influential organizations are responding
. "Following a conversation" means examining how different writers define and respond to similar issues, and listening/reading closely for moments where different writers connect, where they overlap, and where they conflict. It also means that you examine
how
different writers enter the conversation (which will require rhetorical analysis) and how those differences impact what they are trying to say.
In order to make sure that your exploration considers differing points of view, we are going to ground your exploration in this unit by focusing on a social movement or an influential organization and an issue that is central to their cause. For example, you could look into conversations related to
social movements
like #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, March for Our Lives, or #MMIW. You could look at conversations in the news that involve
influential organizations
, like Planned Parenthood, the Red Cross, the ACLU, and RAICES. The project will ask you to read several sources about a topic that that group cares very much about, think about how different writers take different approaches to the topic, and then look at how the major organization or social movement you chose is responding to that same topic.
The project will ask you to do four things:
Summarize
the specifics of the conversations that you are following, including the main topics/ideas being discussed, the modes being used throughout the conversation, and the context in which the conversation is taking place.
Discuss
the ethos/credibility and varying levels of expertise of groups/people taking part in the conversation,
Analyze
the ways in which your chosen social movement or organization uses writing and rhetoric to facilitate change
Reflect
on what you learned, including how this activity informs your understanding of research in a digital society.
Importantly, this assignment is not a paper: you will complete this project as a series of 4 posts, culminating in a final project reflection. All
5
of these assignments will be collected into one project grade.
Note: while each of these assignments might seem "small" on their own, and will appear separately in the modules, together they make up a paper/project grade and will significantly impact your grade. Therefore it is important that for each post you work to find the best sources you can find, and that you answer the questions on each assignment thoroughly. Also, please edit and revise your posts to the best of your ability, as the quality of your writing will also be graded.
Each post will ask you to look for a different kind of text, each one centered around a social movement, and then the post instructions will give you specific questions to answer. All of the posts ask you to make specific references to the text you are analyzing. Please do not talk in broad terms abou.

THE PURPOSE Knowledge After completing this assignment, .docx
THE PURPOSE:
Knowledge:
After completing this assignment, you will understand:
1) The scope and diversity of psychology as a discipline.
2) How psychologists working from different philosophical and theoretical perspectives make different
contributions to our understanding of particular psychological topics.
Skills:
After completing this assignment, you will be able to:
1) Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various explanations for your topic.
2) Explain how the Integration and/or competition between explanations from various perspectives helps
psychology advance our understanding of human behavior and mental processing.
YOUR TASK:
Your task is to select ONE psychological topic you find particularly interesting. This may be a topic we have covered in
the course or a psychological topic we have not covered. You will then examine this topic from three different
philosophical or theoretical perspectives within psychology. For example, you could examine your topic from any of the
following philosophical perspectives: physiological, behavioral, cognitive, social, humanistic, evolutionary,
psychoanalytic, etc). Alternatively, you could opt to examine your topic more specifically using three different theories,
which may or may not differ in their philosophical perspectives. For example, imagine that you choose “bullying” as
your topic. You could examine how bullying is explained from a biological, behavioral, and social perspective (three
different philosophical perspectives). Alternatively, you could choose to examine how three different theories attempt
to explain bullying. Two of these theories might be theories from a “social” perspective and one might be a theory from
a “biological” perspective.
In either case, you must utilize and cite original sources for those perspectives in your analysis/discussion. This means
that you must research your topic to find three different explanations for your topic. Your analysis cannot be based on
personal opinion alone.
Write-up: Your write-up should begin with a general overview of your topic and the reasons why it is particularly
interesting or relevant to you. This introduction should be followed by an analysis of your topic from three different
philosophical or theoretical perspectives. Your analysis should demonstrate a general understanding of your topic and
the fundamental principles used by each philosophical or theoretical perspective to explain that topic (using at least
three academic sources outside of your textbook as source material). In addition, you should discuss whether the
explanations offered by the different perspectives are complimentary to one another or contradict one another. Finally,
your analysis should include your own personal reflection of these perspectives and an informed assessment of what
you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each based on your research of them.
THE CRITERIA:

In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workpl.docx
In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workplace. For this Assignment, you will consider how democratic principles in the workplace are related to and might be promoted by diversity. Diversity has different meanings; the particular meaning held by an organization may shape that organization in a variety of ways. Most organizations profess to value diversity in the workforce, and employers view the variety of talents and ideas that a diverse labor pool brings to the job as an economic asset. Diversity may, however, produce more than just economic benefits for an organization. One way to better understand diversity is to think about which aspects of diversity are related to democratic principles. Another way to approach diversity is to look at which democratic principles are promoted in your own organization through diversity. As you consider the concept of diversity, take note of underlying aspects that may advance democracy in the workplace.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “A Contingency Approach to Representative Bureaucracy: Power, Equal Opportunities and Diversity” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the link between diversity and representative bureaucracy in the workplace.
Review the article “The Ideal of Diversity in Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider strategies for advancing diversity in the workplace. Pay particular attention to matters such as individual difference and equality as they relate to diversity in the workplace.
Reflect on basic democratic principles and consider how they are related to diversity.
Select at least two democratic principles that you think are promoted by diversity in the workplace and think about how diversity might or does promote them.
The Assignment (1–2 pages):
Briefly describe the democratic principles that you selected.
Explain how diversity relates to and promotes the democratic principles you selected.
Based on your analysis, share insights and draw conclusions about how diversity relates to and promotes democratic principles in the workplace.

Ethical Reasoning
Morris (2016) tells us:
In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361)
Morris (2016) goes on to argue:
First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
(1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361)

The two paradigms that I have chosen for this week’s discussion ar.docx
The two paradigms that I have chosen for this week’s discussion are the feminist paradigm and the critical race theory paradigm. According to (Babbie, 2016) feminist paradigms not only reveal the treatment of women or the experience of oppression but often point to limitations in how other aspects of social life are examined and understood. (Babbie, 2016) Feminist paradigms reflect not only a concern for the unequal treatment of women but also an epistemological recognition that men and women perceive and understand society differently. Yet, critical race theory according to (Ortiz, 2010) is based on the following assumptions: race is a social construction, race permeates all aspects of social life, and race-based ideology is threaded throughout society. The roots of critical race theory are generally associated with the civil rights movement of the mid-1950s and race-related legislation of the 1960s (Babbie, 2016).
The similarities between both the feminist and critical race theory paradigms is they both deal with the oppression, unequal treatment, and discrimination of people. The difference is the feminist paradigms focuses on the mistreatment, exclusion, and biases towards women. However, in the critical race theory the mistreatment, oppression, and discrimination are towards a race of people particularly those of African American decent.
As human service professionals (HSP), we will work with diverse groups of people. Social science research helps us to become more aware and knowledgeable. The more knowledgeable we are and the more proven research we have, will help us to better serve others. Usually, there are reasons why people do the things they do or even behave in certain ways. I feel that both paradigms are useful because the studies help us to better understand the oppression and discrimination of others and that people have different experiences in life which can affect how they view society. The more we understand helps us to become better HSPs.
Write a 1 to 2 page essay paper that discusses the topic below. Your paper should be in APA format with viable sources to solidify your thoughts presented. Your references must not be more than 5 years old and no more than one entity source and no more than one N.D source. Wikipedia is not considered a valid source. All references listed on the reference page must have a valid in text citation in the body of the paper.
2)Topic: Explain what changes and or evolving state of networks demonstrating an understanding of the differences between traditional and next generation networks
Paradigms don’t necessarily seek to explain anything; they simply provide us with ways of looking (Babbie, p. 31). The goal is to not mistake our paradigm for reality. The two I selected are Conflict Paradigm and Symbolic Interactionism. Conflict paradigm looks at conflict amongst society as coming about due to classes having competing interests. It focuses its attention on class, poverty, and ethnic st ...

Mills tells us of the intersection between public issues and private troubles. Throughout the course we have learned to use our sociological imagination to understand this difference—especially in terms of our own lives.
For your final project you will reflect on the question, "Who am I?" using the sociological imagination to understand and explain your everyday experiences. In doing so, you will look at the impact of social forces on your individual life. This requires you to apply the concepts, theories, and applicable sociological understandings that you have encountered in the course.
To successfully complete this assignment, you will write a paper with these components:
Introduction:
Introduce yourself and what you plan on discussing in your paper.
Culture and Socialization:
Examine the impact culture and socialization has had on your life. Consider the following when creating this section:
How did you develop a sense of self?
What agents of socialization had the biggest impact on you? How?
How has culture influenced your life?
Social Structure and Groups:
Discuss the impact social structure and groups have had on your life. Considering the following:
How have various groups (primary, secondary, reference, etc.) guided your behavior?
What statuses have you held? What roles have you played?
How have social hierarchies shaped your life choices?
Education:
Discuss how a sociologist would explain your experience with education. In doing so, consider the following:
What major functions have education had for you?
How has education been related to your life outcomes?
What experiences with inequality have you had in education?
Professional Field:
Discuss the main sociological issues that affect your field of study or the field you intend to study at this point in your education. Be sure to include any social changes that may impac.
Assignment structureNote You are asked to analyse an organiza.docx
Assignment structure
Note: You are asked to analyse an organization of your choice. For part-time students, this means your own organization, for full-time students you need to identify an organization that you have knowledge of, or that you have worked in. Whilst it is permissible to use case studies, as you have already been told, case studies from text books do not provide you with enough in-depth organisational analysis for you to do a comprehensive assignment. If this is all you can do, however, then you must check with your tutor about the appropriateness of the case study BEFORE you start to do any work on it. Also, you must not do a whistle-stop tour of every topic that you have covered on the module. Select one or two topics, that are of interest to you, or are relevant issues within your organization. Remember that certain topics do go together very well, e.g. structure and culture, power and culture, gender and power, ethics and gender. I know that it is difficult to confine yourself to one or two topics – as you read and study about one topic, then naturally others come in – that’s the nature of organization theory, but you need to remain focused.

2. Paradigmatic Perspectives: My paradigm
Note: Perhaps the most challenging aspect of this assignment is how to integrate a paradigmatic perspective into your analysis, if you want to include a paradigm. In class you were asked to look at the paradigms of Burrell and Morgan. However, if after your reading, you are more comfortable with other paradigmatic approaches then please use these. For example, you were given the article by Meyerson and Martin, who identify three paradigms of culture and change. You could take one of these paradigms if you were looking at these topics. The text by Mary Jo Hatch called Organization Theory, assesses literature from 3 other perspectives – the modernist, postmodernist and symbolic interpretivist. Jackson and Carter in Rethinking Organizational Behaviour and also in your customised text book again have different perspectives such as the post-structuralist. The important thing to remember is that if you include a paradigm, whatever your approach you need to always maintain this approach throughout your work, including how you analyse the organisation – do not mention your paradigm at the beginning of the assignment, ...

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political IdeologiesThe purpose of this.docx
PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below.
Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically,

The document discusses how views of childhood have changed over time and across cultures. Benedict claims that in non-industrial societies, there is less distinction between adult and child behavior and expectations, and children are treated very differently than in Western societies. Specifically, children in non-industrial cultures often take on responsibilities earlier, have less restricted sexual behaviors, and show less obedience to adult authority. The document then discusses factors like industrialization, laws preventing child cruelty and labor, and theories of child development that have led childhood to be constructed differently and children to be more dependent and protected in modern Western societies.

SOCW 6060 week3
Week 3: Conflict Theories
Imagine living your life without any problems to solve or obstacles to overcome. What if everyone you encounter held the same beliefs and opinions that you do? How would you continue to learn and mature, without the lessons provided through conflict? Because conflict and adversity are nearly unavoidable, the social worker’s focus often is on helping clients resolve and learn from conflict, in order to continue the progress toward their goals. An understanding of the theories about why conflict exists and how it functions in people’s lives provides the foundation from which social workers can best assist clients in coping with and resolving the conflicts they face.
This week, you evaluate the appropriateness of conflict theories for specific populations and compare their application to social work practice.
Learning Objectives
Students will: Not a Assingment
· Evaluate appropriateness of conflict theories for social work case studies
· Apply social work skills related to conflict theory in social work case studies to specific populations
· Compare conflict theories
· Analyze influences of integrative theories on social work practice
· Analyze congruence between integrative theories and social work ethics and values

Write a 2-3 page examination of an issue in the nursing field using each of the three sociological perspectives.
Introduction
Sociologists use theory to study society. In science, theory is used to develop a deeper understanding of the universe. Although abstract, sociologists use theory to expand on original ideas and develop practical solutions to problems. In sociology, there are three main sociological theories or perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist. Each of these perspectives has a distinct worldview, or interpretation, of the social world and human interaction:
The
functionalist perspective
presents the world as a system of inter-related parts, where all parts must work together for society to function.
For example, if we looked at sports teams, the functionalist perspective would argue that sports teams serve a purpose for society. They have a particular utility that helps society function properly. What purpose do sports teams have? Do they provide us with entertainment? Some people with jobs? Do they help to form a bond between people who otherwise would not be connected? The functionalist perspective would see all of these reasons as important functions of sports teams.
The
conflict perspective
disagrees, seeing society as an arena made up of groups competing over scarce resources in which there are issues of power and structural inequality.
The conflict perspective would see sports teams as groups competing over scarce resources. Those resources may be a title, fans, finances, or athletes. With this struggle between teams, some come out on top and others at the bottom. Thus, there is inherently inequality in sports teams.
Symbolic interactionism
examines the symbols and social meanings we attach to individuals, behavior, objects, or interaction in face-to-face exchanges on a daily basis. The focus is more microcosmic than that of both functionalism and conflict perspective.
Since the symbolic interactionist perspective is a micro-level perspective it will look at the interactions that go on between individuals and small groups in sports teams. Are there symbols that exist between players on teams? Think of the gestures that are used by baseball players as an example. This perspective also looks at how communication differs for people on sports teams than it does for those in other groups. In football, for example, tackling is an acceptable form of interaction. That is not the case in an office setting.
As you can see, each of these three perspectives proposes a framework for interpreting encountered social phenomenon.

Workplace Violence in Nursing Discussion.docx
Workplace violence in nursing is a current issue that can be examined through three main sociological perspectives. The functionalist perspective views violence as disrupting social order and stability in healthcare settings. The conflict perspective sees violence as a power struggle between groups competing for limited resources. The symbolic interactionist perspective analyzes how communication and symbols between nurses and patients can escalate tensions and lead to violence. Understanding this issue through different theoretical frameworks provides insight into its causes and potential solutions.
Youve probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of th.docx
You've probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of the chapter's topic using each of the three main sociological paradigms, right? Well, now it's your turn! For this paper, you will need to select a social issue from the list below and analyze it from the perspective of a Structural Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist. Then you'll conclude your paper with an evaluation of the relevance / helpfulness of each perspective for understanding your chosen social issue.
Functionalism is a macro-level theory that looks at the different structures of society like organs in the body - a bunch of different parts working together to maintain the equilibrium of the whole. When functionalists look at an enduring aspect of society, they think, "What is its purpose? What function does this serve?" The functionalism paradigm seeks to understand how all aspects of society, even those that may seem negative or harmful, contribute to the continuity of society, so this perspective tends to bring an optimistic point of view of to social issues.
Conflict theory also takes a macro-level view of society, but this perspective tends to bring a more pessimistic point of view to social issues. Conflict theorists see the world as divided into two groups: a dominant group and a subordinate group. These two groups are in constant conflict, competition, or struggle over control of power and resources, but the dominant group puts structures and institutions in place to maintain control of these resources. The father of conflict theory, Karl Marx, defined the dominant and subordinate group by economic conditions, but more contemporary adaptations of conflict theory define the dominant and subordinate groups along other dimensions. For example, feminist theory defines these groups by gender and critical race theory by race and ethnicity. Regardless of the dimension used to define the dominant and subordinate groups, conflict theorists are interested in analyzing the social forces that maintain inequalities (usually with an eye toward dismantling and changing those systems).
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory, so the type of analysis performed using this perspective will look very different from the macro-level theories above. Symbolic interactionists are interested in interactions and communication between individuals and small groups. Communication, in all its various forms (writing, singing, painting), is a series of symbols, and proponents of this perspective are interested in understanding how we make sense of these symbols and the world around us. How do we imbue meaning and value into these symbols? How do these meanings and values shape how we see the world? How are these meanings and values shared through interaction? How are they changed through interactions?
These three paradigms are like different lenses you can put on (and take off) to see the world. Although they may be used to observe the same socia.

The Assignment: DF #2 - Theoretical Perspectives
Find a newspaper article, online or physical paper, and identify the structural functionalist, social conflict, and symbolic interctionist view of the social issue that is discussed in the article. Think about how each of these perspectives view society. You can get this from your reading of the text. For example, structural functionalists view society as social harmony with a high degree of social order with the institutions meeting their manifest and latent functions, all for the good of society, compared to conflict theorists, which view society as an arena of social inequality; dominant and subordinate groups, competing for scarce resources. In comparison, a symbolic interactinist may view society based upon symbolic meaning, labeling and social construction and the interaction with others in society.

Task Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now .docx
Task:
Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now
to which social movements and influential organizations are responding
. "Following a conversation" means examining how different writers define and respond to similar issues, and listening/reading closely for moments where different writers connect, where they overlap, and where they conflict. It also means that you examine
how
different writers enter the conversation (which will require rhetorical analysis) and how those differences impact what they are trying to say.
In order to make sure that your exploration considers differing points of view, we are going to ground your exploration in this unit by focusing on a social movement or an influential organization and an issue that is central to their cause. For example, you could look into conversations related to
social movements
like #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, March for Our Lives, or #MMIW. You could look at conversations in the news that involve
influential organizations
, like Planned Parenthood, the Red Cross, the ACLU, and RAICES. The project will ask you to read several sources about a topic that that group cares very much about, think about how different writers take different approaches to the topic, and then look at how the major organization or social movement you chose is responding to that same topic.
The project will ask you to do four things:
Summarize
the specifics of the conversations that you are following, including the main topics/ideas being discussed, the modes being used throughout the conversation, and the context in which the conversation is taking place.
Discuss
the ethos/credibility and varying levels of expertise of groups/people taking part in the conversation,
Analyze
the ways in which your chosen social movement or organization uses writing and rhetoric to facilitate change
Reflect
on what you learned, including how this activity informs your understanding of research in a digital society.
Importantly, this assignment is not a paper: you will complete this project as a series of 4 posts, culminating in a final project reflection. All
5
of these assignments will be collected into one project grade.
Note: while each of these assignments might seem "small" on their own, and will appear separately in the modules, together they make up a paper/project grade and will significantly impact your grade. Therefore it is important that for each post you work to find the best sources you can find, and that you answer the questions on each assignment thoroughly. Also, please edit and revise your posts to the best of your ability, as the quality of your writing will also be graded.
Each post will ask you to look for a different kind of text, each one centered around a social movement, and then the post instructions will give you specific questions to answer. All of the posts ask you to make specific references to the text you are analyzing. Please do not talk in broad terms abou.

THE PURPOSE Knowledge After completing this assignment, .docx
THE PURPOSE:
Knowledge:
After completing this assignment, you will understand:
1) The scope and diversity of psychology as a discipline.
2) How psychologists working from different philosophical and theoretical perspectives make different
contributions to our understanding of particular psychological topics.
Skills:
After completing this assignment, you will be able to:
1) Assess the strengths and weaknesses of various explanations for your topic.
2) Explain how the Integration and/or competition between explanations from various perspectives helps
psychology advance our understanding of human behavior and mental processing.
YOUR TASK:
Your task is to select ONE psychological topic you find particularly interesting. This may be a topic we have covered in
the course or a psychological topic we have not covered. You will then examine this topic from three different
philosophical or theoretical perspectives within psychology. For example, you could examine your topic from any of the
following philosophical perspectives: physiological, behavioral, cognitive, social, humanistic, evolutionary,
psychoanalytic, etc). Alternatively, you could opt to examine your topic more specifically using three different theories,
which may or may not differ in their philosophical perspectives. For example, imagine that you choose “bullying” as
your topic. You could examine how bullying is explained from a biological, behavioral, and social perspective (three
different philosophical perspectives). Alternatively, you could choose to examine how three different theories attempt
to explain bullying. Two of these theories might be theories from a “social” perspective and one might be a theory from
a “biological” perspective.
In either case, you must utilize and cite original sources for those perspectives in your analysis/discussion. This means
that you must research your topic to find three different explanations for your topic. Your analysis cannot be based on
personal opinion alone.
Write-up: Your write-up should begin with a general overview of your topic and the reasons why it is particularly
interesting or relevant to you. This introduction should be followed by an analysis of your topic from three different
philosophical or theoretical perspectives. Your analysis should demonstrate a general understanding of your topic and
the fundamental principles used by each philosophical or theoretical perspective to explain that topic (using at least
three academic sources outside of your textbook as source material). In addition, you should discuss whether the
explanations offered by the different perspectives are complimentary to one another or contradict one another. Finally,
your analysis should include your own personal reflection of these perspectives and an informed assessment of what
you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each based on your research of them.

In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workpl.docx
In this week’s Discussion, you thought about democracy in the workplace. For this Assignment, you will consider how democratic principles in the workplace are related to and might be promoted by diversity. Diversity has different meanings; the particular meaning held by an organization may shape that organization in a variety of ways. Most organizations profess to value diversity in the workforce, and employers view the variety of talents and ideas that a diverse labor pool brings to the job as an economic asset. Diversity may, however, produce more than just economic benefits for an organization. One way to better understand diversity is to think about which aspects of diversity are related to democratic principles. Another way to approach diversity is to look at which democratic principles are promoted in your own organization through diversity. As you consider the concept of diversity, take note of underlying aspects that may advance democracy in the workplace.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “A Contingency Approach to Representative Bureaucracy: Power, Equal Opportunities and Diversity” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the link between diversity and representative bureaucracy in the workplace.
Review the article “The Ideal of Diversity in Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider strategies for advancing diversity in the workplace. Pay particular attention to matters such as individual difference and equality as they relate to diversity in the workplace.
Reflect on basic democratic principles and consider how they are related to diversity.
Select at least two democratic principles that you think are promoted by diversity in the workplace and think about how diversity might or does promote them.
The Assignment (1–2 pages):
Briefly describe the democratic principles that you selected.
Explain how diversity relates to and promotes the democratic principles you selected.
Based on your analysis, share insights and draw conclusions about how diversity relates to and promotes democratic principles in the workplace.

Assignment Overview

What You Need to Know
Ethical Reasoning
Morris (2016) tells us:
In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361)
Morris (2016) goes on to argue:
First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
(1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361)

The two paradigms that I have chosen for this week’s discussion ar.docx
The two paradigms that I have chosen for this week’s discussion are the feminist paradigm and the critical race theory paradigm. According to (Babbie, 2016) feminist paradigms not only reveal the treatment of women or the experience of oppression but often point to limitations in how other aspects of social life are examined and understood. (Babbie, 2016) Feminist paradigms reflect not only a concern for the unequal treatment of women but also an epistemological recognition that men and women perceive and understand society differently. Yet, critical race theory according to (Ortiz, 2010) is based on the following assumptions: race is a social construction, race permeates all aspects of social life, and race-based ideology is threaded throughout society. The roots of critical race theory are generally associated with the civil rights movement of the mid-1950s and race-related legislation of the 1960s (Babbie, 2016).
The similarities between both the feminist and critical race theory paradigms is they both deal with the oppression, unequal treatment, and discrimination of people. The difference is the feminist paradigms focuses on the mistreatment, exclusion, and biases towards women. However, in the critical race theory the mistreatment, oppression, and discrimination are towards a race of people particularly those of African American decent.
As human service professionals (HSP), we will work with diverse groups of people. Social science research helps us to become more aware and knowledgeable. The more knowledgeable we are and the more proven research we have, will help us to better serve others. Usually, there are reasons why people do the things they do or even behave in certain ways. I feel that both paradigms are useful because the studies help us to better understand the oppression and discrimination of others and that people have different experiences in life which can affect how they view society. The more we understand helps us to become better HSPs.
Write a 1 to 2 page essay paper that discusses the topic below. Your paper should be in APA format with viable sources to solidify your thoughts presented. Your references must not be more than 5 years old and no more than one entity source and no more than one N.D source. Wikipedia is not considered a valid source. All references listed on the reference page must have a valid in text citation in the body of the paper.
2)Topic: Explain what changes and or evolving state of networks demonstrating an understanding of the differences between traditional and next generation networks
Paradigms don’t necessarily seek to explain anything; they simply provide us with ways of looking (Babbie, p. 31). The goal is to not mistake our paradigm for reality. The two I selected are Conflict Paradigm and Symbolic Interactionism. Conflict paradigm looks at conflict amongst society as coming about due to classes having competing interests. It focuses its attention on class, poverty, and ethnic st ...

Mills tells us of the intersection between public issues and private troubles. Throughout the course we have learned to use our sociological imagination to understand this difference—especially in terms of our own lives.
For your final project you will reflect on the question, "Who am I?" using the sociological imagination to understand and explain your everyday experiences. In doing so, you will look at the impact of social forces on your individual life. This requires you to apply the concepts, theories, and applicable sociological understandings that you have encountered in the course.
To successfully complete this assignment, you will write a paper with these components:
Introduction:
Introduce yourself and what you plan on discussing in your paper.
Culture and Socialization:
Examine the impact culture and socialization has had on your life. Consider the following when creating this section:
How did you develop a sense of self?
What agents of socialization had the biggest impact on you? How?
How has culture influenced your life?
Social Structure and Groups:
Discuss the impact social structure and groups have had on your life. Considering the following:
How have various groups (primary, secondary, reference, etc.) guided your behavior?
What statuses have you held? What roles have you played?
How have social hierarchies shaped your life choices?

Assignment structure
Note: You are asked to analyse an organization of your choice. For part-time students, this means your own organization, for full-time students you need to identify an organization that you have knowledge of, or that you have worked in. Whilst it is permissible to use case studies, as you have already been told, case studies from text books do not provide you with enough in-depth organisational analysis for you to do a comprehensive assignment. If this is all you can do, however, then you must check with your tutor about the appropriateness of the case study BEFORE you start to do any work on it. Also, you must not do a whistle-stop tour of every topic that you have covered on the module. Select one or two topics, that are of interest to you, or are relevant issues within your organization. Remember that certain topics do go together very well, e.g. structure and culture, power and culture, gender and power, ethics and gender. I know that it is difficult to confine yourself to one or two topics – as you read and study about one topic, then naturally others come in – that’s the nature of organization theory, but you need to remain focused.

2. Paradigmatic Perspectives: My paradigm
Note: Perhaps the most challenging aspect of this assignment is how to integrate a paradigmatic perspective into your analysis, if you want to include a paradigm. In class you were asked to look at the paradigms of Burrell and Morgan. However, if after your reading, you are more comfortable with other paradigmatic approaches then please use these. For example, you were given the article by Meyerson and Martin, who identify three paradigms of culture and change. You could take one of these paradigms if you were looking at these topics. The text by Mary Jo Hatch called Organization Theory, assesses literature from 3 other perspectives – the modernist, postmodernist and symbolic interpretivist. Jackson and Carter in Rethinking Organizational Behaviour and also in your customised text book again have different perspectives such as the post-structuralist. The important thing to remember is that if you include a paradigm, whatever your approach you need to always maintain this approach throughout your work, including how you analyse the organisation – do not mention your paradigm at the beginning of the assignment, ...

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies
The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson:
“Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.”
Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned.
Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid).
After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.”
You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources.
You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below).
The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below.
Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically,

The document discusses how views of childhood have changed over time and across cultures. Benedict claims that in non-industrial societies, there is less distinction between adult and child behavior and expectations, and children are treated very differently than in Western societies. Specifically, children in non-industrial cultures often take on responsibilities earlier, have less restricted sexual behaviors, and show less obedience to adult authority. The document then discusses factors like industrialization, laws preventing child cruelty and labor, and theories of child development that have led childhood to be constructed differently and children to be more dependent and protected in modern Western societies.

Sociological research has the potential to influence social policy in several ways:
1) Sociological studies can reveal the true nature and extent of social problems, challenges dominant views, and leads to a redefinition of issues. This occurred with studies of poverty and disability.
2) Establishing definitions and counting the size of marginalized groups through research can raise their profile and lead to new policies. This happened when the disabled population was more accurately defined and quantified.
3) Systematic reviews of research evidence can identify effective solutions and approaches to social issues. An example is a review that informed policies to reduce teen pregnancy and support young parents.

The document discusses reasons for overrepresentation of ethnic minorities in crime statistics. It questions whether ethnic minorities truly commit more crimes or if statistics provide an inaccurate picture due to factors like institutional racism and stereotyping. Some reasons given for higher crime rates and convictions among ethnic groups include evidence of racism within police culture and practices, unfair targeting of minorities in stop-and-search policies, and socioeconomic challenges like poverty that are more common in minority communities. The case study of Stephen Lawrence, a black teenager murdered in 1993, illustrates failures in the police investigation potentially due to racism and stereotyping.

Some sociologists would agree that males are more likely to commit crimes than females due to differences in primary socialization and opportunities to commit crimes. However, others disagree because crime statistics may be inaccurate since males face higher rates of arrest and charges. Additionally, the chivalry thesis suggests that females receive more lenient treatment in the criminal justice system since it is male-dominated. In conclusion, there are many complex reasons for apparent gender differences in crime rates that are still debated among sociologists.

Huntington argued that there are 7 major civilizations - Western, Orthodox, Islamic, Sinic, Hindu, Japanese and Latin American/African - and that conflicts will emerge along the dividing lines of these civilizations, especially between the Western and Islamic worlds. However, critics argue that Huntington's theory oversimplifies conflicts and ignores other important factors like economic and political interests, as well as differences in views on issues like individualism, gender equality and sexuality between societies.

This document discusses values and ethics in sociology research. It outlines the positivist view that sociology should be objective and value-free like the natural sciences. However, others argue this is unrealistic as researchers are inevitably influenced by their own values and motivations. The document also discusses whether truly neutral research is possible given factors like who funds the research and the personal interests of researchers. It concludes by considering perspectives like committed sociology that believe research should not remain neutral and should aim to change society in some way.

Secondary data sources that sociologists use include life documents, photographs, diaries, letters, official publications, previous research, and media sources. However, each of these sources has disadvantages such as potential lack of accessibility over time, presenting biased positive perspectives, being selectively edited, and relying on flawed human memory. Sociologists must be aware of these limitations and potential biases when utilizing secondary data in their research.
