Format: 5 pages (double spaced, 12-point font, standard margins) minimum and 6 pages maximum. Do not deviate from your spacing. That is, once you begin your essay the entirety of the essay will be in double-spaced formatting only. Please do not triple space etc. between paragraphs. Be sure to indent when beginning a new paragraph. Your essay must have consistent font use throughout your essay. If you must cut and paste be certain it is made consistent with the rest of your essay. Your essay must adhere to either an MLA or APA formatting (be sure to look this up if you are unfamiliar), your essay must include a separate title page (that also includes a word count) and bibliography page, and neither of these are included in your page total requirement.
Bibliography: You are required to use, consistently and throughout your essay, a minimum of three academic sources and a maximum of five. This is strict. Part of your score is based on your research, and it is up to you to find, investigate, and determine whether a source is applicable. That is, this is a sociology course and as such you need to find sources that are sociological in nature. Start on RULA and begin typing in the keywords you identify as central to your essay.
Purpose: You are required to research and write a critical essay examining the topic of your choice from a sociological perspective in which you examine the central issues you see as most pertinent. Avoid first-person, avoid flowery celebrations such as ” _______” and avoid the phrase “I think.” You are writing a critical essay that examines the sociology of popular culture.
Since the paper is so long you are able to use multiple key concepts, hence why 3 are listed in the Assignment topic. You are not only limited to those 3 options though. If you find it hard to write 9 pages with the 3 options, you can add something else as long as approach the subject from a sociological perspective and using reference materials appropriate for sociological research. The titles are
general by design as not to limit your imagination in approach to the paper or your scope of
interest within the topic.
Keep in mind this is a social science research paper. The purpose of the paper task is to illustrate the student can
properly apply the scientific method and the sociological imagination to the study of social phenomena. The paper
is to be computer generated and dropped into the course’s corresponding drop box – not emailed or turned into a
mail box on campus.
I left the rubrik in files box for you can see how she is going to grade it.
1. Define all your terms.
2. Apply either APA, MLA, ASA or Chicago Style: regardless of the style you choose, you need to break your paper
down into the following sections: Title page, Abstract Page, Introduction, Review of Literature, Theory Section,
Conclusion and Reference Page.
3. Illustrate all your key points with detailed examples.
4. Avoid using anecdotal evidence, non-scholarly sources, and personal opinions. Note: Personal opinions can
be presented in the paper’s conclusion.
5. Do not use many quotes- one or two short quotes is more than enough for most research papers.
6. Apply a value-free sociological approach and the sociological imagination when formulating the paper.
7. Address the chosen topic question fully.
8.Make sure you cite all key ideas, facts, figures, statements and historical data in text and have a
corresponding scholarly reference listed on the reference list at the end of the paper.
For this assignment, you will provide an in-depth sociological analysis of your gender socialization. Apply what C. Wright Mills called the sociological imagination to an analysis of your own experiences with gender socialization. Consider how they were shaped by social institutions and historical forces.
Some of the questions you might consider are:
What are some of the ways in which you are/were socialized into an “appropriate” gender role?
How has that impacted your life, your work, or your family relations?
How did various social institutions (e.g. your family, mass media, religious institutions, educational institutions, sports etc.) shape your gender identity?
How do these institutions shape gender identity in general, outside of your own experiences?
Why do we place such great importance on “proper” gender role behavior?
How does society deal with people who violate gender norms?
How does gender socialization shape who we become as individuals?
Your paper will be evaluated on its structure as well as its content. It should have an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement. The thesis statement makes clear what the main issue of your paper is. The body should be organized around the key points that support your thesis and provide examples to illustrate how your experience was shaped by social institutions. Use this as a rule of thumb: One idea per sentence, one topic per paragraph. The final paragraph is where you draw conclusions from the material presented in the body of your paper (not a summary). Drive home the main idea presented in your thesis. It is important you include in text attributions consistently through this paper, especially when tying to key terms from our readings and your supplemental resource.
Be sure to cite the textbook and one peer-reviewed sociological article in the paper. This APA style paper is worth 100 points. The body of your paper should be no less than 1,000 words in length. It is due by 11:59 pm CT Sunday.
One of the more meaningful skills you can develop in college is how to write clearly and concisely. Although this is an introductory class, I want to give you the opportunity to hone this skill by writing a final literature review paper.
This course will culminate in a 10-page final paper that will review literature relating to some form of inequality (broadly construed).
1) How does social class affect parenting practices?
The trick is to pick something that
Sources: Your final paper will need to include at least 10 academic sources (from books or peer- reviewed articles). You may also use other sources (news articles, podcasts, etc), in addition to this 10 academic source minimum.
Formatting: The paper should be 10 pages (including intro, body, and conclusion, but not including your references or any title page you add). The paper should be double-spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font and 1” margins. Your paper should include page numbers and a title. You should use in-text citations to cite your work using EITHER APA or ASA style and provide a complete reference page.
Final Paper Resources:
See attached
write an annotated bibliography based on the following article:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-021-01962-5
Step 1: Pick a Topic
Select a community group to study. Some examples of community groups you might explore include:
An activity-based group like a book club, a soccer team, or a community choir
A religious or ideological community such as a church congregation or a local political party
A community organization like a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), a neighborhood association, or the volunteer committee at a local soup kitchen
An identity-based organization such as a social club for veterans or a fraternal type organization
It should be a group in which membership is voluntary and recreational. Avoid:
Families
Workplaces
Ethnic or racial categories
Friend groups
You might wish to choose a group that you are a part of, or you might not. You can use your personal experience with the group to form the basis of your research question. Or you can ask members of the group about their experiences, which will help you develop your research question.
In the template, write a paragraph (approximately 6-8 sentences) describing the community group you have chosen. In particular, be sure to answer the following questions:
What is the community group?
What are the attributes or characteristics of this community group? (e.g. What activities does this group do together? What element of the members’ interests or identities brings them together? How is membership in the group defined, if at all?)
What kind of experience with or access to this community group do you have?
Step 2: Ask a Question
Next, you will formulate a question related to this group, and to topics related to diversity and/or collaboration. You might think about diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, socioeconomic status, or along multiple intersecting identities. Be sure to use what you learned in Unit 1 about the ways sociologists ask questions.
Examples:
What are the challenges of a mom’s community organization in appealing to moms with children of different ages?
How does a group of car enthusiasts reach out to the surrounding community to get support for their events?
How has the Boy Scouts accepting girls impacted their mission and programs?
Do gender segregated sports teams for kids help maintain traditional gender roles?
In the template, write the question you have formulated for your study. Be sure to identify the Independent and Dependent variables and identify them correctly. (HINT: Refer back to Lesson 1.3.3: Asking Questions and Lesson 1.3.5: Formulating a Hypothesis for help.)
Step 3: Prepare a Bibliography
Finally, you will begin developing a bibliography for a review of the existing literature that relates to your question. Before conducting a full literature review, a sociologist will build a bibliography, or a list of potential sources that they will read and study in greater depth in the review.
Collect 4-6 articles, books, or other resources that relate to your question and list them in your template. You don’t have to look into these materials in depth right now! You’ll review this literature more closely in a later Touchstone, and you will also be exposed to additional relevant research and frameworks in Unit 3. You’ll also be able to add to or amend your bibliography before your Touchstone in Unit 3.
Attributes of good readings for your literature review:
They are academic, scholarly works about research findings or they are reliable journalistic reporting based on scientifically credible and reliable data.
They should have been published in the last 20 years—unless they are a landmark work on the topic and provide important background or as a comparison.
They look at different sides of the argument and a variety of perspectives.
They do not have to be written by sociologists or published in sociology journals, but they should be academic and not popular works.
Where to find readings: More than likely you will use a major search engine like Google Scholar. Start your search by identifying key search terms related to your research question, to generate relevant results. Google Scholar specifically searches scholarly literature. However, keep in mind that much of this literature may have limited or paid access. Another good place to search is in a public library or university library catalog or database. You might also want to try regular Google, but you will have to be careful to screen your results and make sure you only select academic sources. Whichever way you choose to search, make sure that you are selecting credible sources.
What makes a source credible? Credible sources are written by authors who are well known in their field. They are based on scientific data—not opinions or with biased observations. Sources should be from reliable outlets, like major publishers, universities, think tanks, and credentialed current practitioners. (HINT: Refer back to Lesson 1.3.4: Researching Existing Sources for more guidance.)
How to format sources in your bibliography: Sociologists use American Psychological Association (APA) format for their research. However, you will use a more simplified method to format sources for your bibliography. You will include five key elements for each source, with each element separated by a period:
Author’s name(s)
Publisher and publication date
Title of the source, in quotation marks
Page numbers (if applicable)
Source’s location for web-based texts (URL)
