Sociology

WILL TURN IN TO TURNITIN Intro:  1/2-2/3 page paragraph What you did/norm for the behavior:  1 paragraph, up to 1/2 page Interpretation:  1-1 1/2 pages. Theory section:  2-3 pages (make sure you discuss the theory AT LENGTH before applying to your breach) Conclusion:  1 paragraph, up to 1/2 page. When you write the paper, you will be take a position concerning a concept or theory discussed in class or in the readings.  Then, using the reactions of others who witnessed your breach, you will support or challenge the concept or theory.  You are expected to draw from the readings, lectures, and discussions in your paper.  This is a normal academic paper, which includes an intro, body, and conclusion as follows: Introduction Questions to answer include:  what are norms?  What are they for?  What do they give to individuals and to society?  What happens when they are breached?  Why do people care?  Then, give us the purpose of the experiment and of the paper.   What you did Please explain the norm that you breached, and show what the typical fulfillment of the norm looks like in our society. Then, briefly summarize the reactions you received (you should not talk about them individually yet—just a brief summary of them all).   Interpretation In this section, you will look for patterns of reactions in your experiment, and in your group members.’  How did women tend to respond?  Men?  Older people? Younger?  How did ethnicity or culture seem to affect the reactions of those around you?  How did your own characteristics govern how your behavior was received?  You will want to look at reactions in the context of socialization, and think of how each group has been socialized to respond to your behavior.   Theoretical Analysis You will want to pick two or more theories from our course to explain how and why you performed, and others responded to your breach.  This is NOT the time to include as many terms as you can from the course; instead, select two theories, explain how they work in detail, and then apply them to specific examples from your experiment.  You can draw on any group member’s experience in writing this part, and show how the theory operates in these experiences.  Some good theories to include in this part come from our social psychology chapter, chapter 4.   Conclusion So, the big question is….did people notice your breach?  Why do even mild modifications of “normal” behavior bother people?  You will want to include the “taken for granted view” in your overall analysis of this experience.

COVID-19 has dramatically curtailed aspects of human interaction and connectivity since the virus first became known to the global public in December of 2019. Drawing on an example from anywhere in the world in the past 8 months, discuss the consequences of globalization by describing how COVID-19 has impacted the social lives of people in a specific geographical location. What sorts of issues has the spread of the virus revealed about global social relations and domestic policies in your chosen country of investigation? How have people found new and creative ways to foster connections to one another while mostly having to practice some form of social distancing? Rather than a simple return to “normal,” how might creativity in the midst of catastrophe lead the way to new possibilities in future worlds to come? After posting your example, please be sure to raise at least two provocative questions related to your case study for your colleagues to engage with.

People in the United States vary widely in their acceptance of the sexual and gender choices and orientations. The impact of those with views of lesser acceptance is felt the hardest by the most vulnerable among us- our children. Watch the following video of a Ft. Worth City Councilman speaking about his experiences as a young man marginalized based on his sexual orientation and consider the impact such a message would have on a young person in a similar situation and on an adult who is intolerant of the LGBTQ community. · Joel Burns: It Gets Better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax96cghOnY4 (transcript located on YouTube site) Compare and contrast what you believe the experiences of these two individuals (the insecure LGBTQ youth and the intolerant adult) viewing this message would be. How might it reinforce existing beliefs about themselves or motivate them to see themselves and/or the world differently? What additional information would you propose to share with either or both of these individuals to persuade them into such a paradigm shift?

Answer the following four questions: Describe the elements of the labor relations process and the relevance of each to effective labor-management relations. The text outlines three basic assumptions underlying the labor relations process in the United States.  To what extent do you agree or disagree with these assumptions?  Does your response differ depending on whether you think about the question from the perspective of an employer or an employee? Read “Discharge for Whistleblower Activity” on pages 38-39 and answer the following question: Should the federal appeals court deny Broom and Miller’s appeal and enforce the decision of the state district court upholding the discharge of the two whistleblowers?  Explain your reasoning. Final chapter related question: Discuss some employer tactics used to prevent or minimize union membership growth prior to the passage of the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act in 1935.  Which, if any, of these tactics would be lawful today?  What anti-union tactics are used today?

Who is investing in Adventure Tourism – Mexico? (e.g., government, industry partners, NGO’s, etc.)    1pageWhat are the top businesses or industry leading organizations offering this activity? And what makes them successful? 1page

answer the question base on the fact but include your opinion as well. also please answer each question with at least 200 words  1.Forum: General Discussion Question: Cultural Representation: What is it worth?  Referring to the tremendous amount of interest in African-American artists such as himself, Langston Hughes famously remarked that  ?the Negro was in vogue? during the Harlem Renaissance. But despite that artists of all types, including musicians, writers, poets, filmmakers and painters were receiving unprecedented attention from white publishers, white record company owners, and white patrons of the arts, what did the artists of the Renaissance and the Blues Queens accomplish? How important was it to the New Negro Movement to have cultural representatives like these ccelebrities?  And how important were these cultural icons to African American audiences?  Feel free to make comparisons and draw parallels to present-day or recent cultural movements. 2.Primary Document Analysis: Bessie Smith, ?Backwater Blues? Options Menu: Forum With  ?Backwater Blues,? Bessie Smith takes up tragic events in the 1920s and documents them in a very socially-conscious song. This was fairly common among 1920s blues and folk singers, who not only wrote typical songs about love and loss of love but often documented other real-life events. For example, I argue in the Great Migration and the Role of the Blues Queen slides that besides providing sheer entertainment for their audiences, many of the blues queens served as chroniclers, or you might say journalists, of the Great Migration, relaying information to both African Americans already in the North and folks down South who had yet to make the trek. Although it is stated in the document you read that contains ?Blackwater Blues? that it was not written about the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927, it came to represent that flood. Why would hearing about the floods down South be important to African-American audiences in both the North and the South? What can we learn from a song and what can a song convey about an event that you might not find in a printed document? Can a song be considered a valid document of an event? Why or why not? 3.The New Deal: Pros and Cons Options Menu: Forum The New Deal (1933-1940), The Roosevelt Administration?s response to the Great Depression, accomplished much in the 1930s but was also limited in many respects.Foremost, it never really pulled the country out of the Depression. On one hand, labor made significant gains and the country?s social services were vastly improved for many with the institution of the Social Security Act. On the other hand, gains achieved by women, African Americans, Mexicans, and Indians were minimal for some and nonexistent for others. Choose what you think were the greatest achievements of the New Deal as well as it?s biggest disappointments and discuss. 4.Primary Document Analysis: Rose Chernin on Organizing the Unemployed in the Bronx in the 1930s (1949) Options Menu: Forum This document is located on p. 340 in Zinn. The Unemployed Councils that Rose Chernin is talking about were formed under the auspices of the Communist Party USA in the early years of the Great Depression. As Chernin explains, the Councils agitated for a number of things during the Depression, including food, price controls, and unemployment insurance. They also organized hunger marches and rent strikes for the unemployed. First, search for some information on Chernin?s background and briefly describe who she is, then address Chernin?s document. What did Chernin?s Unemployed Council accomplish in the Bronx? What are some of the aspects of her organizing work that make her feel ?fulfilled?? And why were women so important to the Unemployed Councils? And finally, what do you see occurring during the Covid Crisis that is similar, if anything?  5.Although the U.S. government repeatedly stated that the U.S. was fighting in World War II to establish freedom and democracy across the globe, and fighting against a form of slavery imposed by the Nazi regime in Germany, neither freedom nor democracy were very apparent to African Americans on the Home Front. African Americans still faced the Jim Crow laws of segregation and economic deprivation in the South, they faced discrimination in the workplace across the country, and they fought in a segregated military. They also fought back. Did the experiences of African Americans during World War II lay the foundation for the modern civil rights movement, and, if so, how did they do so? 6.This post requires that you read the Yuri Kochiyama document on p. 359 in Zinn, and view the George Takai and U.S. government videos on Japanese-American internment included in this weeks folder Yuri Kochiyama, George Takai, and the U.S. Government all portray what happened to Japanese-Americans from a differing perspective. Takai was a young child when he moved to a relocation camp (some say concentration camp),and  Kochiyama was a young adult. Both of them, writing and recollecting as much older adults, are basing their accounts on memory. The U.S. Government film that you watched was made during World War II to show other Americans how the Japanese-Americans were experiencing the camps and, unlike Takai and Kochiyama, portrays the ?relocation camps? in a very favorable light. Which interpretation or interpretations do you most believe, and what makes it or them convincing? Conversely, why are other interpretations less convincing? And finally, did Japanese-Americans pose a threat to national security following the bombing of Pearl Harbor that necessitated the camps? You can also bring in any research that you may have done on your own or info that is in the slides or the Foner text 7.The Modern Civil Rights Movement gained momentum in the 1950s, nearly ninety years after Reconstruction. Explain how the movement finally took off in the 1950s. How did  the Cold War interact with and help shape the Civil Rights Movement? Why did it not begin a decade earlier? What had changed in the 1950s both in the realms of technology and in what was politically possible? 8.Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, two Jewish immigrants and U.S. citizens, were convicted of espionage and sentenced do death for spying in the United States and transmitting nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union in 1951.  The Rosenberg trial and the death sentence caused a tremendous amount of controversy in the U.S. and around the world during the Red Scare of the early 1950s. To this day, it remains controversial. As you can see by the letter, the couple maintained their innocence right up to the time that they were put to death in 1953. What made this case so controversial? In what ways was or was not the sentence commensurate with the crime? And in what ways did the ordeal reflect the Cold War atmosphere in the United States at the time? Finally, what was Ethel Rosenberg attempting to convey to her children in her letter of June 19, 1953? 9.The many freedom movements of the 1960s, including the Women?s Liberation Movement, The Chicano Movement, the Antiwar Movement, Red Power, the Gay Liberation Movement, and the Environmental Movement were all heavily influenced by the African American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. What made the Civil Rights Movement so influential and what what were some of the most successful tactics of the Civil Rights Movement? Do you think the other movements would have existed without the Civil Rights Movement? And How were the goals of the other movements similar to the goals of the Civil Rights Movement? 11.The document you are reading — John Lewis?s ?original? speech at the March on Washington–is not the speech he gave at the event (Zinn, p. 398). As it says in the introductory paragraph for the ?original? speech, the speech he gave was toned down so as to not upset the U.S. Government, including President John F. Kennedy, and white (and black) moderate liberals who supported the Movement. Congress was in the midst of debating Kennedy?s Civil Rights Bill, which Lewis originally referred to as being insufficient and unacceptable. Why should (or shouldn?t) a compromise have been made? I have posted a video of the actual speech Lewis made on August 28, 1963 in the Civil Rights folder under content in Blackboard. If you compare and contrast the two speeches, what are some of the outstanding differences? What to you is most impressive about the speech? 12.?I Am Not Your Negro? is a Raoul Peck film based on a book that noted author James Baldwin had left unfinished when he died in 1987. It successfully connects the Civil Rights Movement that many people periodize as having occurred in the 1950s and 1960s with present movements like Black Lives Matter, lending itself to the conclusion that the CRM is ongoing. After viewing the film, briefly summarize how you think Baldwin may have finished his book had he lived until the present times. You can refer to how director Raoul Peck finished his film or you can stray from that storyline. It?s up to you.

Included in this week’s assignments are arguments that racial inequality, including that within criminal justice and the economy, can’t be remedied by focusing simply on changing people’s attitudes.  They suggest that government policies throughout American history, including current policies, have promoted inequality. What specific policy changes are required to promote greater racial equality in the U.S. today?  Posts are not opinion. They are to be informed by the information and analysis of assigned course material.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the final exam is to allow you to not only obtain information and knowledge about major theoretical approaches to understanding the causes of crime, but also transition you into thinking about what you do with this knowledge. You will write a (7-10 pages double-spaced) persuasive/argumentative essay. A persuasive/argumentative essay uses reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. This type of essay must present evidence, facts, empirical data, statistics, theories, or examples, in order to defend one’s claims. You are required to use information you have gathered from your readings over the course of the semester. Outside research is welcomed, but you will be graded on how well you summarize, integrate, and utilize information from the required readings from this course.ESSAY QUESTION: You have just been named United States Secretary of Homeland Security. The U.S. government is considering the largest immigration reform policy in the history of the country. You have been asked to produce a report on whether the history of Mexican Americans and their struggle for civil rights is related to border identity, politics, policing, violence, militarization, and migration. You must first explain the history of Mexican Americansnamed Police Chief of Las Cruces. Congratulations. The Las Cruces Police Department is undergoing the largest reform in its history and has chosen you to lead this endeavor. You will implement new policies to address current law enforcement issues impacting all Departments throughout the United States. But first, you must explain the theoretical foundation and underpinnings for your new policies. In order to achieve this, you must define, explain, and rank the top five theoretical frameworks that best explain the causes of crime, deviance, and criminal behavior. Furthermore, you must argue why these theoretical frameworks are important to understand in order to alleviate future crime in Las Cruces. Be sure to define and explain each theoretical framework and compare and contrast the theories to one another. You will be graded on your ability to connect the required readings from class to your argument. Again congratulations and good luck.You may use any theoretical framework covered in class: Classical School, Positive School, Chicago School, Differential Association, Anomie Theory, Subculture Theory, Labeling Theory, Conflict Theory, Social Control Theory, Gender-Based Theory, Rational Theory, Critical Criminology.
