Term Paper (Core Curriculum & Learning Objectives Assessment)
Write a paper in which you conduct research on a recent (within the last two months) topic in the news.
1) a summary of the topic; My topic is on AI. I would like to do it in an article from the New York Times. Ross Douthat’s article “Should We Fear the Woke A.I.?” 
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/24/opinion/google-gemini-artificial-intelligence.htmlLinks to an external site.
link should lead you to the article. Thank you
2) the “sociology” of the topic, including
a) using the sociological imagination, describe the reason(s) why this an issue for sociologists to consider,
b) identify the scale(s) of the social world that are being/will be most impacted by the news and explain that impact,
c) discuss how sociologists could generate additional research on this topic;
and,
4) a reference list of sources – in a professional citation style (e.g., ASA, APA, MLA). Note: All sources must be cited in the body of the paper as they are utilized, as well as in the reference list at the end.
The grade will be based upon the demonstration of relevant research, the level of analytical and critical thinking conveyed, and spelling/grammar/formatting. Reference related material from the course readings as you write your paper, and provide your own research on the issue from at least three legitimate academic and professional sources, in addition to any you reference from the course (e.g., books and journal articles). References must be cited within the text and a bibliography provided at the end of the paper. If you are not familiar with another professional citation style (e.g., MLA, Chicago), use the American Sociological Association (ASA) style guide, which is available at: http://www.calstatela.edu/library/guides/3asa.pdf. The papers must be submitted through Turnitin on Canvas no later than the beginning of class one week from the date of your presentation. The paper must be at least 1000 words. Failure to meet the minimum word count may result in a score of zero for the paper.
Reference Assistance
You need to provide at least three (external to the course) reference sources, and you should provide as many sources as necessary to adequately address the issue that is typically missing quite a bit of information due to the length of the news article. Use your judgment, and just ask if you are uncertain. Some excellent academic journals that likely have research related to your topic are: American Sociological Review (ASR), Social Forces, or Sociological Perspectives (all are available through electronically through the library, search for them by entering the name of the journal in the “Find:” box at the Journals section of the library search engine on the main web page http://www.sjcny.edu/Library)

This essay exam is designed for you to think across the ideas, issues, and concepts we have covered in the course to date. The questions are intended to be straightforward and your answers may draw on a variety of sources- readings, lecture, discussions, etc. It is best to focus primarily on arguments, examples, and materials from our common reading and activities, although a reference or two from outside our common material is acceptable if you feel it is absolutely necessary. References to specific passages and pages from our reading are highly valued to connect the understandings you express and the texts we have covered. 
Be sure, 1) to answer all parts of the question, 2) to answer the questions directly (keep off-topic digressions to an absolute minimum), 3) to make sure your writing is clear, succinct, and grammatically correct, 4) most importantly, to make sure that your answers do not force me to assume anything about what you understand. Clarity is essential.
Format: Double spaced, 10-12 point font, 1-inch margins. Do not list the question and sub-question and then give short answers. This is an essay. So it should hang together as a composition that analyzes and gives explanations based on the questions asked, drawing from the readings, lecture, discussions, etc. Do not copy the questions verbatim in your essay. This will not count for space used. Your essay should be only your arguments supported using the class sources. Get right into your argument when the essay begins. Be sure to properly cite all sources.
Task: In approximately 3-5 typewritten pages, write an essay addressing one of the following exam prompts.
A key social problem discussed in this course has been class inequality and its influence on people’s everyday lives.  Be sure to use examples from the readings and other course material. You should address the following questions in your answer: What is class inequality? What is poverty? What is the relationship between wealth and poverty as described in the book? How has class inequality and poverty in the U.S. changed over the last sixty years? What are some of the ways that social class standing and poverty influence people’s everyday lives and live outcomes? What is the housing problem in the U.S. on how does it relate to social class inequality? What are some of the social causes and consequences of evictions and housing inequality? What potential policy changes or social action could help does Desmond suggest to help address this social problem?
A key issue for sociologists is social inequality. Describe how gender, race, and social class represent existing social inequalities in society. Be sure to use examples from the readings and other course material. You should address the following questions in your answer: What is social inequality? How are gender, race, and social class sources of social inequality? What evidence is present in the readings for these inequalities? What does it mean that race, gender, and social class are intersectional? What are some examples from course material and readings that demonstrate this intersectionality? What other forms of social inequality (besides race, class, and gender) can you identify?
A key issue for sociologists is social change. Describe social change including the role it plays in society and how sociologists analyze it. Be sure to use examples from the readings and other course material. You should address the following questions in your answer: What is social change? What are some social actors that influence social change? What role do social actors such as social movements play in causing social change? How do the evolutionary and dialectical theories explain social change? What is globalization? What is the connection between globalization and postmodern society? What influence has globalization played in causing social change? Which theory of social change (evolutionary or dialectical) do you think best explains changes from globalization? 
grading will not be based on length but rather on whether the report thoroughly addresses all the component parts. 
I DO NEED SOURCES but it doesn’t have to be a specific number. 

We have to watch the following film https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-the-interrupters-graphic-language/ After watching the above video, answer the following questions. 1. Define violence as a social problem in the United States and globally. In what ways is the United States a violent nation and is non-violent? Provide supporting evidence from the video and text. 2. Do you believe violence is a matter of deviance, culture, family, race, gender, class, education, or all? Why and why not? Support your position with evidence. 3. Connect different types of violence and the three (3) main sociological perspectives. Provide evidence from the video and text based on the three (3) main sociological perspectives. 4. How does violence impact the various social institutions, health, family, education, employment, criminal justice, and overall community? Provide supporting evidence. 5. What solutions do you propose to address the issue(s) of violence and its effects as a social problem? Which social institution(s) do you propose are best to address violence as a social problem? 6. Referencing one (1) sociological perspective, in what ways do you think it can address violence and remedy its effects as a social problem? 7. What were The Interrupters working to “interrupt”? Do you think their efforts were effective? What do you think was the most effective strategy and your reason why? Provide supporting evidence. 8. Reflecting on your major and/or career pursuits, identify ways community-based violence can be addressed for restoration to a healthy, safe community where inhabitants have a sense of well-being. For question 8 my major is Criminal Justice, nothing specific yet but you can use being a police officer if you want.

This discussion includes several steps. Please complete the following steps and write an initial post answering the questions:
Part One:
1. Watch this Bugs Bunny cartoon called “Rabbit Season.” (Rabbit Season Duck, Season Trilogy Again (youtube.com)As you watch this nearly 2 and half minute video, count the number of violent acts that you witness in the video.
2. Make an initial post telling the class about how many acts of violence you counted during the video. After stating your witnessed number, explain what you considered a violent act in the video.
3. Keeping in mind your answers above, provide a definition for violence that should be used when watching the video.
4. The likelihood is that we will have many different numbers for the acts of violence that each of us witnessed during the video. Considering that the likelihood is that we will see different counts in the class, this means that we may have different ideas and definitions for what we consider violent acts. This also means that if we are using different definitions for key elements of a given research question, we would not have high inter-rater reliability. So, what does that inform us about the types of research we have been learning about throughout this class?
Part Two:
1. Using one of the research questions that you created in the Week 2 Discussion or a new research question that you create for the purpose of this week’s discussion, how would you define the various variables that would be used in your research question? How would this definition help researchers maintain high inter-rater reliability when conducting research?

This project should be submitted in the Project 3 folder in Assignments under the Assessments tab in D2L.
If you would like Dr. Hunt to look at drafts of any of your projects, send them to me as an email attachment at least two working days before the due date
and I will look over them and give you general comments back about how you can improve them. You do not have to have me review them, but I am willing to if
you want me to.
To submit a project, use the Assignment tool under the Assessments tab at the top of the course page in D2L and attach your file in the particular project
folder. However, I will not review any projects that have been submitted in a folder. For a review, you must send them to me as an email attachment with a note
telling me you want me to review it.
Grading Rubrics for each of the Projects can be found under the Assessments tab on our D2L course page. You can also see them if you click on the
submission folder for each of the Projects using the Assignments tool under the Assessments tab.
For my research project, I am using the research question: How do gender 
stereotypes and social norms influence women’s participation and 
experiences in the sport of golf? My hypothesis is that women who have fewer gender stereotypes associated with golf and feel less pressure from social norms will have higher levels of participation and engagement in golf compared to those who have higher stereotypes and norms.

Minimum of 7 sources are required 5 of which need to be peer reviewed; 6-8 pages (NOT 
including citations) double spaced in 11-12 Times New Roman font; 

Affirmative Action Policies have long been a source of hope, controversy, and resentment among the American people.  Even as inequality along racial and gender lines persists in universities and workplaces, Americans disagree as to the best way to remediate these problems.  Please read the following articles on the recent Supreme Court decision that ended the race-based affirmative action policies which have shaped college admissions processes for decades. You will then write a speech on the issue as if you are presenting it to an academic conference hosted by National University—although you are writing it as a speech you are required to use formal, scholarly language and cite your sources properly.  
Specifically, you will focus on the issue of Affirmative Action policies as they apply to college admissions, and the continuing need to address diversity in higher education by examining the policies struck down by the court and reflecting upon alternatives.
Here are the links to the articles:

https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/07/princeton-class-based-affirmative-action-not-progressive    
The parameters for your response are as follows:
The response must be between 1150-1250 words. Students that fall short of the required word count will receive a 10% deduction.
You must cite a minimum of 3 scholarly sources—news media articles do not count as scholarly sources, only peer-reviewed journals, books, etc.  Provide data from peer reviewed sources on racial and gender inequality in higher education.  Be as specific as possible and remember to name your sources directly so that your audience knows that they are high quality and reliable.  Do not be afraid to quote sources directly with pertinent statistics or insights. 
Review the traditional arguments (including relevant Supreme Court cases over the last half century) made by those who are conventionally in favor affirmative action policies and those against.  Be sure to note whether these arguments are consistent with the data made available by scholarly studies on the topic, particularly as they pertain to the issue of college admissions and diversity in higher education.  Take a clear position, either in defense of conventional affirmative action policies in higher education or you may argue for the need for a more novel approach to the topic.  Be specific in why you are taking your position and defend that position with data from peer-reviewed studies.  Remember, you are making an appeal to the public in a town hall and advocating for why your solutions are the best course of action!   
You must include a works cited (not part of the word count) at the end.
Your response should include considerable reflection on the pertinent course terms and concepts, failing to reference these consistently throughout will result in a deduction.

In Week 3, we studied social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. Imagine you are a sociologist who works for an elected official who has no background in sociology or a related field. You have been assigned the task of identifying an important example of social stratification that impacts the elected official’s constituency. After you have read the textbook and lectures assigned for this week, draft a 2-4 paragraph memo that accomplishes the following:
Quotes the definition of social stratification from the textbook and/or lectures in correct APA citation.
Identifies at least one example of social stratification in your community.
Identifies one of the sociological explanations of class inequality in the United States and explain why you think it is helpful in understanding the example you discussed in part 2. For example, you could discuss the classical perspectives of Marx and Weber, the symbolic interactionist perspective, the functionalist perspective, or the conflict perspective.
