Sociology

Sociology of Sports Paper For this paper, the topic is Chuck Wepner. You will be connecting the material we have covered in class, both lecture and readings, to the above-assigned topic that you will research. The paper should be two pages long (not including a list of references). The paper should have a clear structure, including an introduction, arguments, evidence, and a conclusion (please label which paragraph is which). You should use a thesis statement to explain to the reader what the main claim is that you will be proving in the paper. The most important element of the paper is to demonstrate that you understand and can use the sociological ideas that we have learned in class.  At the end of the introduction, you need to state your thesis you will focus on. each paragraph must have sociology in it. with your research also use two or three readings we used in class. For the research you do, cite your sources (minimum is 4 sources). It is alright to begin with sources like Wikipedia, but you should make sure to read/cite the primary source that Wikipedia is relying on for its information. In addition, it is fine to use videos, podcasts, or other media, but you need to cite it sufficiently so that the reader can find the source that you are referencing. P.S: Based on this topic, relate it to Mass Media

Imagine that you have been hired by a travel agency to develop a direct appeal letter for a spring break ski trip to Colorado, targeting college-age young adults. Write a 2 page appeal letter for the vacation package, and then explain how the travel agency would measure response to the appeal and what next steps you would recommend in the direct-marketing campaign to further engage potential customers and to close the sale.

All submissions must be double-spaced. The heading, however, should be single spaced. Every submission should have a heading. The heading should include student’s name, the date, and the course. The professor’s name should not be included as it is understood it is for my course. In essence, each heading should be 3 single spaced lines while the actual paper is double-spaced. There should only be double-space between the heading and the title

Discussion 6 – Inequalities of Race and Ethnicity ?????? ???? Discussion Posts checklist:   All Sections   No unread replies. No replies. Did I answer all the questions. Must write each questions, then answer that one question. Did I use at least two terms from the chapter in question. In my post, BOLDing each term so that everyone knows which terms I used. Is it long enough. Did I answer each question fully in sociological terms or did I just write a sentence without referring to the knowledge in the text book. Did I write in proper English and use proper netiquette According to the notes and text, we are ALL prejudiced. Yes, even you. Being prejudiced simply means that we pre-judge people and situations. We do this as a quick way to assess our surrounding and to maintain our safety. We like things that are predictable and easy to understand. Hence, we use schemas, stereotypes and prejudgments as an aid for negotiating life in an often very busy society. It is only when we discriminate based on our prejudgments that we can often go astray…. (and this happens a lot!) Part One: For this post, I would first like you to explore your likelihood of being prejudiced toward ethnic groups other than your own and with gender. Please visit the website below, take a look around, and then choose the race test and the gender test to assess your degree of prejudice towards those groups. You can either choose to take a demo test or register fully with the cite. Since this Discussion Board is about ethnicity and gender, I’d like you to focus on two tests re: ethnicity vs other types of assessment and the gender test. Once you’ve completed your test, 1) please report back to the group what you learned about yourself. Since admitting prejudicial attitudes is definitely NOT politically correct, you don’t have to give raw data and the exact results of your tests. 1a) I just want to know if you feel it matched what you thought and what you thought of the test/process…                https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/  (????????) Part Two: 2) For the second aspect of this DB, please discuss the concepts of prejudice and discrimination as related to race and ethnicity and to gender. 3) What have been your experiences with discrimination, inequality and the like? This can be either discrimination and inequality that you personally have been subjected to or things you’ve witnessed. 4) Do  you think it’s getting better? 5) Can we be a society that does not value discrimination to some degree? Do you think that there will always be someone that might be looked upon as the minority? 6) Given what you know about stratification and the relationship that education has to income and well-being, will indicators of well-being ever even out among the many different groups living in the US – why or why not? Last but not least, I’d like to hear what you think about the following question: 7) To what degree do you think ethnocentrism might sometimes be confused with racism? Posts should indicate that you have read and understood the material and utilize sociological concepts or examples from within the text/notes.

Question A Paragraph-length answer (up to 350 words) Q: Identify the qualitative research method used to collect data such as the following course reading and discuss its strength and shortcomings. My son Pao, who had a telephone in his home, called us when he heard the news that General Vang Pao was fleeing. He told me, “We Hmong can’t stay in Laos. Vang Pao is going to Thailand. He is leaving today. Decide if you want to go or stay.” I cried because I did not want to go without my sons. But I thought it over and decided to leave. We left our home without taking anything. I did not want to sell our stored rice, but my wife wanted to do so.”…

(2014). Understanding Child Abuse and Neglect (9th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Education, Inc. ISBN 13: 978-0-205-39969-7 WE HAVE TO HAVE TO PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL ARTICLES AS SOURCES

Community Organizing/Advocacy Project: Design your own type of organizing or advocacy activity.  Students may base their project on their field placement/internship (if participating in one), initiate their own project, or volunteer with one of a wide variety of neighborhood, community or campus organizations. They may continue a current project or begin a new one. Projects should be designed to achieve measurable outcomes by the end of the semester based on mobilizing the participation of others and/or influencing a local, state, federal, or international issue or problem. Students are expected to spend at least eight (8) hours on this project (not including writing the paper or preparing the presentation).  . . The paper should be eight (8) pages in length, no less than seven (7) full pages, no more than ten (10) pages. Include your signed time sheet (does not count as one of the 8 to 10 pages). Your presentation should be at least eight power point slides and should be about six to seven minutes with three to four minutes for questions, lasting a total of ten minutes.

We have to respond to two people on why we agree or disagree and add valuable information to our discussion response to each peer. Each Peer has to have two sources that are peer reviewed journal articles COLLAPSE PEER 1 :Centenarians are individuals who have lived over one-hundred years. This group type has increased thought the last decade. It is expected to have more than twice the number we have today by the year 2050. This individuals have lived over 100 years and we should learn the lifestyle the practice, the physical activity they have practiced through the years. This would help the community to have a better life expectancy. They usually consume this with small meals at the end of the day, usually plant based, and they consume one to two glasses of wine every day.  The centenarians they participate in physical activities such as, walking, biking, swimming. They also participate in mental health activities, such as reading, painting and playing musical instruments. This helps them to have a higher competence at an older age.   Gender plays a role in the centenarians. Most of the centenarians are females, although most females reach this age, the male who live to be 100 years of age are healthier than females.  They also show a lower rate of dementia.  Estrogen plays a role in longevity.  The chromosomes give woman an edge, as well as being able to child bare.  Having a strong family base influences to reach this age. “Based on Lawton’s ‘the good life’ theoretical framework, we constructed our QoL model with four dimensions: physical health, mental health, family and social relationships, and socioeconomic status”(xu eu al, 2020).   Xu, X., Zhao, Y., Xia, S., Cui, P., Tang, W., Hu, X., & Wu, B. (2020).

D. (2019). Dimensions of human behavior: The changing life course. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. PEER 2: COLLAPSE Centenarians are people in society who reach the age of 100 or more. ” This year, the United Nations expect the number of centenarians to rise to approximately 573,000 worldwide. “(Buchholz, 2020) Diet, and exercise have a lot to do with this because these things can help keep you healthy. The diet is different depending on the culture and where you live. These matter more than your genes because are you grow older those genes won’t be as strong so making sure to keep yourself healthy while you grow up is very important. Individual characteristics impact you too, there are races that are more likely to live longer because certain races take care of themselves better because it is a part of their culture and society. ” Living to 83 on average, the Japanese have long had one of the highest life expectancies. Okinawa, often called ‘the land of immortals’, has been a global centre for longevity research, as these southern Japanese islands have more than 400 centenarians. Much credit for this has been given to the local diet, which includes plentiful tofu and sweet potato, and a small amount of fish. Active social circles among older residents and a strong community also contribute to lower levels of stress and a strong sense of belonging. “(Galloway, 2017) Things I would consider when working with a person from this cohert is making sure they are intruiged, making sure they are healthy physically and mentally.

The co-culture i have chosen for this paper is veterans of war, here are the instructions for the paper: This paper/project experience is worth up to 40 points. REMEMBER THIS IS A RESEARCH NOT OPINION PAPER. 10 HOURS RESEARCH  Shown through your  ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY. Look it up. Footnotes needed. Inerpretation of research detailed in your own words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQwPMnNgvh4  (Links to an external site.) A research paper has a title an introduction, research content and interpretation, and a conclusion or summary of what you learned. Find a co-culture new to you to broaden your co-culture base. PUT us/me/you in that Co-culture.  The subculture project begins with the selection of a subculture or co-culture in the United States during the current time.  In this case, the dominant culture would be the U.S. culture.  This clearly changes as the country being focused on, e.g. France, England, Iraq, etc, becomes the dominant culture. Here it is the USA. The subcultures or co-cultures are the various groups that live in harmony with the dominant culture, which means that 50% or more of the dominant culture accepts. can identify, and recognizes the subculture or co-culture. (Countercultures such as gangs, hate groups cults or the like or subgroups live outside the value system and are not accepted by 50% or more of the dominant culture.) NOTE:  This project is to focus on a “co-culture”, not a “counterculture.”  Examples of co-cultures could be based on ethnic or cultural identification, religious beliefs, lifestyle choices, atheism, ageism, gender, recovery status, e.g. alcoholics, or general belief systems or group identity found living in harmony within the dominant culture. Examples from last semester were Foster children, hearing impaired, returning prisoners, obese co-culture, hindus, autistic, learning disabled, feminists, and millenials. All identifiable co-cultures living with their own commonalities. The co-culture would be one you are likely to encounter in our immediate geographic region. More  co-culture examples  might be those with Learning disabilities like ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Overweight/Obese(eating disorders) Hinduism,Islam, Judaism,Social classes that struggle, Ethnic groups like Mexicans, Muslims, LGBTQ+, Feminists,” Alt-Right”  groups (with-in civilized standards ie not hate groups”, or Millenials, Boomers, Gen Z or I, Black Lives Matter or your interest in a co-culture you have always wanted to explore. The key is to narrow your topic so as to have a major focus (drug recovery, related to teens, women, people in sensitive careers, etc).  Once having chosen and had your topic approved, be sure to include the following aspects in your paper/project as relevant and then submit it through the sub-cultural project/paper. This automatically submits your paper through a plagiarism site, turnitin.com Your summary must include what you learned and how this knowledge will work in creating a high level of understanding/communication when interaction occurs. How doing this paper can used as an approach to co-cultures in general.   Instructions: Typically a research papers has 10 hours of reviewing scholarly sources that have done research about your co-culture choice. The annotated bibliography can only be done when this review of literature is done. Do look up what a research paper entails For the bibliographies: Each person must select a minimum of 5 different academic-quality resources. Each entry must be annotated.  This means that you should write a paragraph explaining why you chose this resource and what particular information it provided. The credentials of the resource is important. This a research paper. Only 2 internet sources may be used. This means academically qualified experts in this co-culture knowledge base. At least 1 interview or if in-person not available internet sources, youtube, phone calls, facing other videos. make contact to get feedback from a co-culture member, needs to be conducted and implemented into the paper/project.  If you are doing an interview then that is considered one of the 5 sources. Do not indicate the full name of the person. Have questions ready before the interview. Detail their experience in terms of larger dominant society. How are they  perceived? Their perceptions, as to whether their co-culture impedes communication equality and quality of communication. Apply the concepts relating to intercultural communication that we have discussed in other parts of the course, The following are ideas from which to build your co-culture overview to really give a perception by the larger dominant society.  Use the most relevant to your showing in depth knowledge of your Studied group. organization/structure/hierarchy what makes them a co-culture and how are they viewed in the social hierarchy? a brief history or discussion of the subculture’s origins when attention given co-culture by researchers of social sciences. symbols, characteristics, stereotypes, criteria for membership,  values—ideals or abstract ideas about what is right and wrong within the co-culture. norms—rules or guidelines for behavior within the sub/co-culture positive and negative social controls—incentives/rewards for compliance with rules and/or disincentives/punishments for noncompliance with rules of the co subculture stereotypes that apply to your group gender roles—expectations regarding the proper behavior, attitudes and activities of males and females socialization (and/or initiation)—the process through which people become part of the subculture and learn its attitudes, values and behaviors, different from other co-cultures and dominant culture. future prospects of the subculture—growth, decline, other compare/contrast subculture characteristics with those of the dominant U.S. culture distinctive communications strategies or characteristics employed by the subculture (include nonverbal communication techniques)slang, co-culture terminology,  other relevant distinctive traits. ideas for improving communication between the subculture and the dominant U.S. culture and/or reducing stereotyping personal testimonies from subculture members, if applicable (first, consult with the instructor about veracity and confidentiality if necessary with interviewee. Sensitivity is the key consideration.
