Students will evaluate and analyze the interview data collected in week 4 from a sociological perspective. Readings have been made available on qualitative interview analysis. Please read this material if you have not taken a course in research methods. Students must evaluate the relationship dynamics as well as specific problems/issues that the couple or family interviewed in week 4 have faced or are currently facing. Since each interview is different, the types of sociological concepts that are applicable will also be different. Examples of concepts to incorporate include courtship patterns, communication in the relationship/family, conflict resolution strategies, family and/or gendered roles, balancing work and family, coping with stress, etc. Recall that concepts are the bolded terms in your textbook. Select the terms that best speak to the sociological themes and patterns found in your qualitative interview data. While writing the essay, be sure to BOLD the concepts that are introduced and make sure each term is properly defined and/or explained before applying them to examples.    Students must also utilize the textbook and 3-4 additional peer-reviewed journal articles (Jstor.org is recommended) to address these relationship dynamics and issues from a sociological perspective and how these sociological themes can be applied to couples and/or families more broadly in society. Finally, students should incorporate the Christian worldview by incorporating the Biblical perspective by way of solutions and/or guidance.  Papers must be at least 5-7 pages (not including title and references) and in APA format.  My school book is here   https://online.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781337516174/pageid/322 I will message username and code For more information on Qualitative Analysis read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_analysis

Consider the following scenario: As firefighters opened the door, oxygen-starved flames come to life almost simultaneously, fluctuating across the ceiling as the thick black smoke ignites. The single-pane windows in the room broke from the pressure-volume of the gases and heat, and an explosion occurred. Several firefighters’ ears and necks began burning even with the Nomex hood donned properly, and they escaped from the residence. After regaining their composure, they realized one firefighter was missing and later found him in the charred debris. Many in the community began blaming leaders in the fire department, suggesting that they should train on fire behavior and firefighting and not emergency medical services (EMS), hazardous materials, confined space, trench rescue, and the other services provided. The fire department did not have mandatory firefighter training. As the fire and emergency services (FES) administrator, would training on firefighting have made a difference? Why, or why not? How would you implement a new training program?300 WORDS For more information on Fire and Emergency Services read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland_Fire_and_Emergency_Services
