Question 1597 Race and Ethnicity

With nearly seven billion people on the planet, the world offers a fascinating array of human characteristics. Race refers to the inherited physical characteristics that distinguish one group from another. These distinguishing characteristics include a variety of complexions, colors, and shapes.
Although there have been significant strides in the understanding of race and racial equality, two myths of race are still common. One is the perception that some races are superior to others; the other is that “pure” races exist. The idea of race remains a very real and powerful force throughout the world, shaping basic relationships between people in the United States and elsewhere. Select one set of questions to respond to: Racial, Ethnic, and Minority Groups

1a)Why do you think the term “minority” has persisted when the word “subordinate” is more descriptive?

1b)How do you describe your ethnicity? Do you include your family’s country of origin? Do you consider yourself multiethnic? How does your ethnicity compare to that of the people you spend most of your time with? Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

2a) How does racial steering contribute to institutionalized racism?

2b)Give an example of stereotyping that you see in everyday life. Explain what would need to happen for this to be eliminated. Theories of Race and Ethnicity 3a)Give three examples of white privilege. Do you know people who have experienced this? From what perspective?

3b)What is the worst example of culture of prejudice you can think of? What are your reasons for thinking it is the worst? Intergroup Relationships

4a)Do you believe immigration laws should foster an approach of pluralism, assimilation, or amalgamation? Which perspective do you think is most supported by current U.S. immigration policies?

4b)Which intergroup relation do you think is the most beneficial to the subordinate group? To society as a whole? Why? Race and Ethnicity in the United States

5a)In your opinion, which group had the easiest time coming to this country? Which group had the hardest time? Why?

5b)Which group has made the most socioeconomic gains? Why do you think that group has had more success than others?

Question 1599 Sociology in the news

Due Today at 10pm * I need a copy of the source so a online article needs to be used and pasted within the paper *

She is using Turnitin to check for Plagiarism ——————————— Sociology In The News Paper Format (example) Rachel A. Koons 1 Sociology In The News Paper #1 October 4, 2017 http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/health/abortion-access-disparities-study/index.html

Title of Article Review Begin paper here…. ————————- Sociology In The News Essays (SITN’s) Each student will
write two Sociology in the News (SITN) essays. Each essay is to be turned in by the due dates listed on your Weekly Schedule. Please read the following information/instructions before writing and submitting your SITN essays. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding this writing assignment.
**What are Sociology in the News Essays?** Most of what you’ll find in the news headlines deal with potentially Sociological topics—the same topics you discuss with friends at the coffee shop, with your family around the dinner table, or in the breakroom at work. What sets Sociology apart from most breakroom conversations is not the topics themselves, but the perspective that Sociologists bring to them….. The purpose of these essays is to develop the ability to look at everyday events and debates with a Sociological eye—that is, to unpack the taken-for-granted ways of thinking about the world that usually frame our discussions about current events, and look for ways to understand them more deeply as Sociological issues. **You will write two SITN essays this semester. For each one:

1) Choose a recent article from a regional or national news source that deals with a topic that interests you, or that you think might interest a sociologist. (Good sources include The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Missoulian, Arkansas Democrat Gazette, U.S. News & World Report, ABC News, Fox News, Christian Science Monitor, BBC.com, CNN.com, NPR.com, any Sociological current journal, and etc.) **The article should be no more than a few years old if possible…

2) Photocopy, clip, copy and paste, or print your article, and turn it in with your essay. Or you may provide the web link at the bottom of your paper.

3) In 2-4 pages, discuss the sociological ramifications of your article. In so
doing, you will want to set your paper up using the following 3 steps: step 1: in your own words, introduce your article and summarize its major points (1-2 paragraphs). step 2: describe, in detail, how the article relates to either a theory, concept or sociological idea from your textbook (1-2 paragraphs). step 3: discuss at least two questions sociologists might ask about the article’s content, and state briefly how they might go about answering them. You will also need to include your own personal thoughts and opinions regarding the content of your article (1-2 paragraphs).

*Papers should be formatted using Times New Roman, 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Please see next page for paper setup. *

These papers will be graded as follows: full points: An outstanding, ground-breaking, perfectly polished and beautifully written essay that makes interesting and insightful points. (Essentially, an A or A-.) Partial points: A good essay (about a B+-B-). It is perhaps well-written, certainly free of spelling and stylistic
errors, but not especially original. Low points: A paper that was turned in on time, but is underdeveloped, riddled with errors, or both. (About a C.) You can figure out what happens below this….

The narrator of “Intersex” asserts that gender differences in terms of aggressive versus passive behavior is rooted in biology then asserts that gender is “almost entirely” learned behaviors; while the casual viewer may miss this ideological contradiction, how could we, as social scientists, explain why the narrator confuses ideologies on gender and sex using what we have learned from Fausto-Sterling? Note the doctor in “Interex” who is being interviewed throughout the documentary, how do his comments on gender and sexual identities of the intersexed, that he vaguely says is “backed by studies,” seem absurd from the perspective of Fausto-Sterling?

DRIVEN ORGANIZATION. It is a local chapter of a national organization. We depend on volunteers for numerous activities: fund-raising, clerical tasks, service delivery, etc. One particular valuable volunteer had great computer skills and was creating a database for the local chapter. Unbeknown to the director
or the staff, this person had used the computer and the organization’s logo and letterhead to solicit gifts, donations, event passes, and who knows what else from all over the area for her own use. One company representative called to check out a solicitation from this person because it was different from previous organization contacts and it raised suspicions. POST YOUR ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. Describe the Ethical Dilemma How might you use “ethical reasoning” in this situation? What action would you take, as an agency administrator, if you became aware of this situation? Identify which of the six (6) ethical principles that underlie codes or standards would apply to this situation

Question 1618 A Bloody Sunday in Brentwood

Understanding School Violence -1 PAGE ONLY – School is a place of growth before a person steps into the uncertainties of adulthood. However, for a few individuals school is a stressful, negative environment, which may result in them becoming violent. In terms of student victimization, the United States does not have the highest rate of violence compared with other nations. Although US schools are occasionally sites of horrific attacks, on a day-to-day basis, US public schools appear about as safe (or unsafe) as those in other nations. The impact of widespread coverage of these violent incidents is difficult to measure, but surveys of student and teacher concerns show a pervasive pattern of fear of
violence. School violence has been a topic of national concern throughout the past decade as the public has repeatedly witnessed horrifying shooting incidents in US public schools.

When studying violence in schools, it is important to consider both offenders and victims. Many studies have found a positive relationship between physical abuse and suicide. In light of these factors, it is important for you to understand the impact of violence in schools on victims, their families, and the public. Task: Use the textbook readings, the Argosy University online library, and any other outside sources to research school shootings and select a school-shooting incident. Submission Details: By the due date assigned, in a minimum of 250 wordS. Provide a summary of the school-shooting incident you selected. Describe any risk factors and warning signs that were present in the case prior to the violent act. Identify the security measures that, had they been implemented prior to the tragedy, might have either prevented or lessened the casualties. Give your reasoning.

A Bloody Sunday in Brentwood – 3 PAGES ONLY- Here’s What Happened . . . The chief of police in Centervale is becoming more concerned with victims’ rights. He worries that law enforcement officers do not have enough real-world opportunities to review cases of victimology. As practice, you and your fellow officers have been asked to evaluate the Nicole Simpson case from the time she first reported intimate violence by O. J. Simpson to the time of her death. Assess from a victimology standpoint and under the assumption that O. J. Simpson was the perpetrator of the murder. Here’s What You Need to Do . . . Using APA-formatted in-text citations and external sources that are referred to on a corresponding reference page, prepare a report on the Simpson case, evaluate what resources could have been used to prevent the murder, and then suggest improvements. Your report should include the following: In the recent decades, we have seen stalking laws, as well as intimate partner-violence laws, undergo vast improvements due to more awareness and education for those who make, enforce, and interpret laws.

Make a flowchart that identifies these critical stages in the laws for stalking and intimate violence. Research the laws, policies and procedures, and operational techniques pertaining to victims’ rights and victim protection. Compare and contrast your research with the processes found in the Simpson case. What can you recommend to law enforcement officers to prevent similar results in future cases? Analyze and interpret statistical data using basic research methods. Illustrate any correlations between stalking, intimate violence, and homicide. How can you compare your findings with the facts of the Simpson case? Apply the victimology or criminology theory, or theories that best fits this case. Express your reasoning for your comparison of comparison of the victimology v. criminological theory. Research lethality or danger assessments used by law enforcement agencies and victim advocacy centers. Describe what the assessments are used for. What facts can you select to show the lethality signs that were present before Nicole’s murder? Create your own lethality or

beliefs, etc. you learned from these agents and how your socialization has influenced the person you are today.

2. Toys for female children often socialize them to be talkative, relational, expressive, and domestic. Toys for male children often socialize them to minimize talking while focus on strategizing (army toys), on physical aggression (guns, actions figures), on thinking (building blocks), on danger (swords, grenades). Think of your experience as child and what toys helped to socialize you. Describe what toys, items, or activities you think had a significant influence on your present adult behaviors, attitudes, values, etc. and how/why. I tend to agree with research in that both sexes lack characteristics due to gender socialization. For instance, females may focus too much on relationships while males have difficulty discussing their feelings. Do you think the way our culture socializes girls and boys is positive or negative? Both? How do you think you might socialize a child if you were the parent? Would you do it the same or differently from the way you were raised? Why?

They are sometimes stats, but do not have to be. Subjective concerns or competing viewpoints are the feelings people have about an issue. Dynamic aspects are the chances over time an issue or
problem has.

The relative aspects are comparisons between groups or places. If we use abortion as an example, the objective conditions would be hotter many women get abortions, the fact that abortions are legal in the US, some women want to be able to have an abortion, etc. The subjective concerns could be the pro-life verse pro-choice perspectives. How some people think abortion is murder while others think it’s a person’s right to do with their body as they please. The dynamic aspects could be how laws have changed over time and continued to change. Or how people’s opinions about abortion continued to change. The relative aspects could be how it’s legal in there’s US but illegal in other done other countries. Or how different states have different laws regulating it. Or how’s different generations have different opinions, our how men have different opinions about abortion than women. above^ is an explanation of the social problems mode.

Question 1557 Epigenesis

Group Assignment 2 Review the definition and example of epigenesis in the text. Next, create two scenarios—one that would likely enhance gene expression and one that would likely dampen gene expression. For example, providing an economically at-risk preschooler with intensive early intervention promotes cognitive, social, and emotional growth, which translates into better academic performance and peer relations on entering school, thereby transforming gene expression. In contrast, not providing the same preschooler with early intervention and denying that child appropriate environmental stimulation can dampen gene expression so severely that later intervention has little impact. As this example illustrates, environment–gene exchanges can contribute to vastly different outcomes in the same child. Create one scenario for a child and another for an adult. For this assigment you will need to acess chapter 2 to form your scenarios. I will provide you with the link to the book

Question 1514 Was I Born this Way

Textbook- Welch. 20123. Family Now. Boston: Allyn & Bacon (At least 200 words and use the remaining word count to respond to both classmates) On page 281 Welch states “You don’t become sexual at a certain point in your lifespan….you are continuously becoming a sexual being.” If this is true then is it
possible that overtime one can change their sexual orientation? Also, do you believe that someone can engage in a homosexual experience and not identify as homosexual? Be sure to read the text and support your answers. Respond to at least 2 classmates.

Push each other to challenge your perspectives. Classmate 1-I believe that our very first teachers in life are our parents. Therefore, the views of our parents alter the way we accept or view a given topic. As our lives go on, we are exposed to people of different costumes and cultures. I believe that Welch statement “You don’t become sexual at a certain point in your lifespan….you are continuously becoming a sexual being” is true. Every person experiences different forms of sexuality throughout the span of their lives. I feel that the possibility of a person changing their sexual orientation overtime is possible. Experiences within a person’s life can cause them
to want to change their sexual orientation.

I feel that a person who identified as heterosexual at a point of their lives may not have had that encounter before to know that they are homosexual and will in fact change orientation. There have been cases where a person will get married to a heterosexual spouse and have children because it was not socially acceptable to be heterosexual. Overtime, society has changed their views on this issue and then that person divorced to pursue a homosexual partner. Others are exposed to a variety of different social medias that display different behaviors. They may feel that because certain behaviors are exhibited in social media that they are “curious” and will in fact engage in homosexual experiences without identifying as homosexual. Classmate 2- I believe it is possible to change your sexual orientation overtime, even more-so if the person has been in denial about their sexual orientation due to judgments from society. The fact is sexual orientation isnt even as clear cut as
we’d like it to be so asking this question comes with the assumption that sexual orientation is clear cut. We as the society determine what is considered sexual and how to behave sexually so it is all a social construct .

The book talks about “sexual scripts” which refer to the “shared, gender-specific social and cultural expectations that guide our beliefs, attitudes, and sexual conduct” (Welch, 2012). Within the sexual script is the sexual orientation which means it is also socially constructed in the same way. Therefore one can assume that your sexual orientation can change even depending on where you are standing in the world. Since sexual orientation isnt clear cut, this means that sexual attraction is not specific to any specific gender all the time either.This means that one can identify as heterosexual and still find someone of the same sex sexually attractive. In addition to that, theres also the fact that you dont have to be sexually attracted to someone to have sex with them. We see this happen alot in prostitution and with men who work in the homosexual pornography business for the money and still
consider themselves to be straight.

Question 1518 Child Free

Assignment 1 Answer question with at least 200 words and use the remaining word count to respond to classmate. Should the federal government or individual states determine access to abortions services? Please respond to at least one classmates. Classmate-I think the federal government and individual
states should not be allowed to regulate abortion services. Abortions are a woman’s choice and I don’t think anyone should have the opportunity to tell any woman what they can and can’t do with their bodies. I may be pro life for myself but every women should have the chance to choose what they do with their body. The government is comprised of mostly men.

Men who will never experience pregnancy or the thoughts that race through a woman’s head when she has to decide if she wants to have that baby or not.

Question 1524 Look! It’s a Bird, It’s Plane, It’s SUPERMOM!

Answer question with at leaset 200 words and respond to both classmates. Please number classmate 1 and classmate 2 Western culture socializes women to believe that they can “do it all!” One of the the many roles women have is that of mother, and “intensive mothering” is a standard. So much so that if a mother falls short of this standard they are viewed as doing something “wrong.” Do you agree or disagree with this ideology? Is this type of sacrificial mothering good for children, or not?

Classmate 1- I happen to disagree with this thought. I think as long as a mother is putting in her best efforts and her children are well cared for then there should be no other outside negativity invading that. A mother already has a hard enough job. Adding pressure from everyone’s opinions does nothing for them. I also think that seeing their mom work hard to care for them is good for children. I know personally I saw my mom and grandma work hard to care for all of their children. It made me appreciate them more. What made me appreciate them 10 times more is when they asked for help. They didn’t let us see them struggle but instead they showed us that at times every mother needs outside help and there’s nothing wrong with getting it. Every mother has her down day and I think it’s okay for them to show that to their children. It lets them know that nobody is invincible. I just have always had the thought that mother’s are strong because they can do it alone but they are smart enough to know when to ask other’s for help.

Classmate 2- I don’t agree with this thought at all. I believe that mothers do the best they can and at times you will drop the ball no matter how bad you try not to. The problem is people forget that even though you are a mother you are still human and you will make mistakes and that’s the best lesson you can teach your kids is that its ok to make a mistake. Nobody is perfect. Mothers are very strong
individuals. My mother made many mistakes but she didn’t let that stop her from dong what she needed to for her kids. If she needed help she would ask. She wouldn’t let the pride of “I’m the mother” get in the way. Because of this she let me know that now that I’m a mom to do only what I can and what I can’t ask for help. She also taught me not to force things and let things be how they will be. My son never sees me struggle but he knows I don’t have it all. Being a mother is a great thing but you can’t let it take over your whole life. You are allowed to have down days or off days like anyone else because you are more than a mom again you are human.

• What do Latane and Nida (1981) tell us about the ambiguity of an event and how it affects the bystander effect?

• Integrating the research by Latane and Nida (1981) with the idea of stimulus overload, which of the 6 types of psychological retreat could influence diffusion of responsibility and why?

• Based on your knowledge of the Beaman, Barnes, Klentz, & McQuirk (1978), at least one type of intervention decreased the bystander effect.
Suggest and intervention that could influence people to be more helpful on a wider stance than students who take social psychology. • After completing the assigned readings, do you think you are as likely to experience diffusion of responsibility in an emergency situation? Why or why not? How would you engage other bystanders in helping if you were in an emergency situation?

Question 1526 24 hours

Answer the following questions using the information you collected in your 3-day media watch. Your answers for questions 1-5 need to be complete sentences. 1. In your 3-day watch, did you observe more thin women than average-sized or heavy women? If so, what differences did you notice in the characters they played/products they sold?

2. Did you detect more average-sized men than heavy men? Were there more muscular men than average-sized or heavy men? If so, what differences did you notice in the characters they played/products they sold?

3. In your 3-day media watch, did you notice a relationship between types of shows and the types of bodies depicted? For example, were there more thin or muscular bodies depicted on programming aimed at young people (e.g., music television) as opposed to programming aimed at older viewers (e.g., television magazine shows)?

4. What effects do you believe the media (ads, television shows, movies, etc.) has on individuals in our society?

5. Some of today’s researchers contend that women are depicted in the popular media not only as being unrealistically thin, but also are more often depicted in a sexualized manner than men (that is, wearing “sexy” clothes, speaking in a suggestive manner, appearing to be undressed). Did you find this to be true
in your 3-day watch? Do you think this is related to the emphasis on unrealistic body types? In 250-500 words, analyze the various behavior patterns you have seen that could lead to anorexia or bulimia; as well as, listing some treatments available for those who suffer from eating disorders.

Question 1530 To Stay Home or Not to Stay Home

 Part 1 Answer question with at least 200 words “To Stay Home or Not to Stay Home?” Should Their be a Question? “Opting Out” or “Leaving the Workforce” What is the best decision for a well-balanced family life? Is the mom staying home the answer? Or Is the shift of the dad from “breadwinner to bread-
maker” the most optimal choice for family life? What is your opinion on this subject? Explain your views and use evidence to support your answers. Part 2 Respond to both classmates separately with remaining word count. Classmate 1 I think doing what is best for the household is all that matters. I know plenty of
working moms because they have to work.

 It is hard now to live on just one salary. If they had the choice they would stay home but they don’t have that option. I also know a few mother’s who prefer to work. I think whatever the family needs is what is better. My aunt told me about a woman at her job who loved to work and had an okay income. However, her and her husbands job combined income was just enough to cover bills and food and left them with about $100 at the end of the month. They made a few dollars over the qualifying amount for a link card. When they had a child all of her income went towards
childcare and bus fare.

They decided that she would quit her job and he would keep his. Financially it was the best decision for them and their child. They were able to get a link card, have extra cash for incidentals and it gave her the opportunity to stay home with her child. I personally would love to be a stay at home mom until my child is of school age. Then I wouldn’t mind going back to work. I just think the first 4-5 years of a child’s life are impressionable and I want them to have as much time with me and learn from me as possible. I think that as long as it works for that household then it is the right thing. Classmate 2 I believe that this issue, much like several others that we have covered in the book, do not
have a right or wrong answer. It is based on the needs of every family and the circumstances they encounter which can be a temporary or permanent decision. In my family, my parents choose for my father to be in the workforce while my mother was a stay-at-home parent.

This may not be the case for every family, but it is what worked for them. Some people especially those who have children, they may feel that it is necessary to leave the workforce to raise their children. In some cases, it is more expensive for a spouse or partner to be a part of the workforce and pay a babysitter than it is for them to be a stay-at-home parent. We live in a day and age where women have more opportunities to work than before and with that being said, a woman may have a better paying job than her husband so for that family it is most convenient for the husband to stay home. There are several ways for a family to get around their personal lives and needs while still working. For instance, one spouse can work during the day and the other at night. Some spouses can choose to work weekends or also find jobs that allow them to work out of their homes.
