Complete the following (250 words per question):   Milgram argued that situations can be structured to make people do unusual things. Assume that you want people to violate one of their basic moral values—say, the value that life is sacred. How might you structure a situation to get people to act in violation of that value?

PROFESSORS NOTES:  Formatting The literature review needs to be: 5 pages long minimum double-spaced, using a standard 12-point font (no courier) with standard margins, and numbered pages, with name, date, section number, and instructor at the top of the first page (no title page) Synthesis You must use at minimum 8 sources for this assignment. References and quotes must be cited appropriately in the citation style of your choosing (but must fit an existing citation style). The Literature Review must be at minimum 5 full pages in length & roughly follow the section outline below. STEP ONE: The first step is to identify the clusters/camps: What are the points of convergence? Who is talking to each other (via citation)? What are the topics and subtopics in the conversation? Who is talking about the same topics and subtopics? What clusters/camps are forming around the topics and subtopics? What are the connection points where ideas intersect and/or push against each other? STEP TWO: The next step is to group together the clusters and identify the big ideas: Are there smallish clusters that can be joined by a slightly larger idea? Are some of the ideas emerging as more important than others, by virtue of more citation, more explanation, etc.? Do you find some of the clusters more compelling than others? Why? List three or four of the big ideas under which you can group the clusters. Those clusters that you can’t fit in may just not fit in this literature review. Don’t force ideas together, but make sure you are looking for every angle and every point of connection. STEP THREE: The next step is to organize the ideas. Is one of the ideas more current and treated more favorably in the most recent literature? Is there one idea that you prefer?  What are the logical connections between the ideas? How are the clusters/camps building on each other? The big ideas will become the subheadings for the literature review. You need to decide what order to put the big ideas in. It’s common to work both chronologically and by importance of the ideas within the context of your particular contribution. You’ll begin with the formation of the conversation and the fundamental concepts and ideas, to innovations and developments of those ideas, and then to the most recent adjustments and tweaks to the arguments. This is because, you are working toward your own argument which needs to be fitted into the most recent and important arguments. STEP FOUR: What do “They Say” and what are the stakes? What are the stakes in this conversation? According to the sources in your body of research: What are the most important issues? Why does the topic matter? Who does it matter to?  What does it impact? These are the stakes of the conversation. For each big idea, pull two or three quotes out of the research you’ve done on your topic. The quotes should be about important points you need to make sure to include in the literature review. Underneath each quote, explain it in your own words. Make sure that a couple of the quotes get at the stakes of the conversation.   STEP FIVE: Write the literature review. Here is a basic structure for a literature review: Introduction: +/-3 paragraphs, in which you describe the topic generally, define any key terms, and define and label the clusters/camps that will structure the rest of the literature review. Section 1 (Needs a subheading that indicates the general subtopic you will discuss): This section should be about the fundamental concepts and the beginning points of the conversation. This section should include the major authors who are nearly always referenced in other articles on the same topic. Call attention to what is at stake in the conversation. In 2+ pages, describe that subtopic, by bringing together the clustered ideas, calling attention to and explaining what kinds of arguments are already being made about that subtopic. You should note the relationships between ideas, authors, clusters/camps as you describe the big idea of that section. Your thesis probably belongs in this section. (See note on thesis below.) Section 2 (Needs a subheading that indicates the general subtopic you will discuss): What’s the next logical idea? What is the big idea that most closely builds our of and develops the big ideas. In about 1 1/2 pages, describe the next subtopic, by bringing together the clustered ideas, calling attention to and explaining what kinds of arguments are already being made about that subtopic. You should note the relationships between ideas, authors, clusters/camps as you describe the big idea of that section. Section 3 (Needs a subheading that indicates the general subtopic you will discuss): What’s the next logical idea? What is the big idea that most closely builds our of and develops the big ideas. In 1 1/2 pages, describe the next subtopic, by bringing together the clustered ideas, calling attention to and explaining what kinds of arguments are already being made about that subtopic. You should note the relationships between ideas, authors, clusters/camps as you describe the big idea of that section. Conclusion: In 2-3 paragraphs, draw some general conclusions about the conversation in general, which will allow you to recap the major parts of the argument. The general conclusions should get at why the topic is relevant–the stakes. Point out existing holes in the conversation, gaps in the conversation where more research needs to be done or where a different argument needs to be made.   Writing a Thesis for a Literature Review A literature review needs a thesis, but it won’t be in the form of “I will argue…”. Instead, the thesis of a literature review needs to overview the conversation, calling attention to the major points of convergence, divergence, and clusters. It might follow this template: In reviewing the literature on ____________, I will show that ____________________ viewpoint differs from ________________viewpoint, and that ultimately what is at stake in this conversation is _________________________.

Essay #1 will focus on the conceptual materials that are part of the beginning material of our course, including basic concepts like “culture/material/non-material” and the framework of seeing the Global Order from macro levels, while understanding the micro levels of such issues and examples as global stratification and its impacts on everyday life. Follow the following outline as a guide to developing your essay.  Please be sure to cite and make specific references to class materials:  the Chirico book, chapters 1, 2, 3, and the documentary Humanity from Space.   Essay Format: Length: 1000-1500 words. Essay style: Introduce the essay, develop your points/ideas in full paragraphs, and conclude your essay. Cite your course references. ESSAY QUESTION: Describe and discuss what is meant by the macro/micro study of the global order, including such concepts as the expansion of the technological, economic and social order of the planet, from the past to the present. Present your understanding of the course concepts of how our world became and is stratified, with great wealth and great poverty from the engines of development like industrialization. In your conclusion try to position yourself in this global order that is stratified:  are you a “global citizen” – in what ways? Do you think that you are ethnocentric in any way? Explain the meaning the concepts that you use without merely defining them. Your own words should be used, keeping in mind the accuracy and factuality of information that you present.

Post an image of a book or film that you loved as a child. What did this book or film teach you about the norms and values of your culture (think about what it tells you about norms around gender roles and family and other relationships; social expectations and what is acceptable or not; what does it tell you about success or failure?). Do you still agree with/follow those norms and values today? Why or why not?

Students will regularly submit a short reflection essay on something new that they’ve learned in their preceding units, either from another student, from the text, or from class discussions. They are intended to give students further opportunities to think about what they are learning and think critically about its meaning, and also allow them to speculate on how they will use this new information or skill. Reflection essays should be approximately 250 to 300 words. Students should title their submission with their name, Unit and the theme of their reflection. While these are informal reflections, and so strict adherence to APA formatting not expected, students should cite and give credit to anyone whose thoughts or words influenced them, whether it is an article, textbook or website reference, or ideas expressed by the instructor or peers in Discussion. you may also look at the textbook first 5 chapters https://opentextbc.ca/introductiontosociology2ndedition/

First, review the sections on Research Ethics and the subsection on Testing a Hypothesis under the section Research Methods in chapter one of your text in order to familiarize yourself with sociological experiments. Then, begin this assignment by choosing a folkway to violate. Examples include (and there are many folkways to choose from): wearing the other gender’s clothing, speaking a foreign language to an English speaker, sitting with a stranger at a restaurant, and eating dinner with your hands. Be sure to ask your facilitator if you are unsure if the norm you choose to violate is appropriate for this assignment. Do a reflection paper on an instance when you have been deviant in the past. A reflection paper must contain analysis and integrate concepts from the text.

Identify each person’s class, race, and gender, supporting your work with the text and/or outside resources. What role has class, race, and gender played in their lives? How do you see these stratifiers as playing a role, even if the interviewee is unaware of it? Apply one of the sociological perspectives to the individuals’ lives. Why did you choose this particular perspective? How does it explain each person’s life and life choices? What are some of the benefits and limitations to using interview as a research methodology? Analyze each person’s specific components of culture and relate them to his/her stratified position in society.

Hi, I need help. I’m trying to do a social research project and I was thinking of the topic “WHY RESPECT SO IMPORTANT IN PRISON?” or similar to it. I will attach a few articles that might help with the project. and if you can add to it, would be very helpful. Now, here’s my professor’s asked us to do; 1. Develop four questions that you might investigate about the topic you just selected. 2. What topic would you focus on if you design a social research project?
