This video describes and discusses racism as did Chapter 9. After watching the video and reading the chapter, first respond to the questions below and then respond to your classmates in a discussion using these concepts to analyze different social groups. (Although you are to use the information you learned from the book and film, you are to use your own words – plagiarism will result in a grade of a zero.)  1What is overt racism? What is institutionalized racism? Can they be fought with similar tactics, or does fighting the different forms or racism require different approaches? Why? 2During the Civil Rights era, activists worked for change within existing systems and institutions—that is, they took the laws of those institutions and used them against them. But activists today argue that the institutions that govern our society do not want to acknowledge the problems of systematic racism and that working within the system is ineffective. Do you agree with them? Why or why not? 3Is non-violence an effective protest tool today? Do activists need to be prepared to respond to violence with violence and disruption? Why or why not? 4Do social movements need identifiable public leaders to be effective? Why or why not? How can you practice public leadership without prominent individual leaders?

Abstract 1. Formulate the Abstract section of your selected topic.   Make sure that your Abstract contains the following sub-sections: * Background Information on the Problem * The Objective of the Study * Method Used * Interpretation of the Results * Conclusion & Recommendations for Future Research example: Background: The temporary protective status (TPS) is a document granted by USCIS to eligible nationals of certain countries, who are already in the US. It was granted to the Haitian community after the earthquake back in 2010 Objective: The purpose of this study is to explain why Haitian with TPS should be granted a green card. Method: For this research study, a meta-analysis method was used. Various data relating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) were collected and specifically sorted. The information was compared to a narrow path regarding solely to the Haitian community. Results: TPS has received many extensions over the past ten years; now it is just a question of when the US government will close their eyes on the Haitians people. This uncertainty causes many fears in the community. Conclusion: The research will help know whether Haitian in the US with TPS will get a green card and which way. Furthermore, this study will help a lot of Haitian living in USA, also those that might come temporarily to know the stress they will be facing. Recommendations: It is recommended that future research be done to collect more information on legalization like asylum, family-based citizenship through USCIS, and conduct quantitative-qualitative studies on the same topic.  Keywords: temporary protective status, Haitian community, immigration, government legislation, green card for Haitians

I am working on a sociology group project. these are the instructions from my professor: Each group will be assigned a chapter or sociological topic in which you will use as a starting point to analyze a piece of media (ie, magazine or newspaper article, tv show, movie, documentary, podcast, blog, channel, etc). The group is expected to develop and facilitate a presentation on the media piece and how the assigned chapter/topic is tackled within its storyline/theme. The presentation should include an analysis of how the piece either challenges or conforms to the concept/term/topic. Outlines should include a complete summary of the group’s presentations.  Each group is required to submit one collaborative outline for each member of the class.  All members of the group are required to participate in the development of the outline.  Moreover, each member’s contribution should be documented on the outline. My group’s topic is on gender and sexuality, each of us has two main points to talk about. The two main points that I was assigned to talk about are the lack of resources and education for gay children, and the second point that I need to talk about are the families that gay children often have to develop outside of their biological families due to rejection. I will need one source/reference per point  The piece of media that we also chose is the movie Moonlight on netflix, which is about a young African-American man grappling with his identity and sexuality while experiencing the everyday struggles of childhood, adolescence, and burgeoning adulthood, but you don’t need to worry about incorporating the movie in if you haven’t watched it. As long as you find two other sources, one for each point. any questions or further explanation you can reach me faster 6199204221
