Choose one of the topics below. This is not a research paper. 1. You are asked to study what makes some schools in New York’s public school system more effective than others. What factors–other than curriculum and teacher ability–would you include in your study? Explain why these are important factors in shaping educational success. 2. You work for a squimetrex factory. A member of the board of directors has suggested hiring a sociologist on staff. The CEO, knowing that you took a sociology course in college, asks you to write a brief memo explaining how a sociologist might be useful in a squimetrex factory. Write that memo. 3. When the coronavirus pandemic is past us and we can return to our more accustomed way of life, what are two or three of the research questions that sociologists might explore that have both general sociological significance and day-to-day impact? 4. You head a major foundation that funds projects to encourage intergroup amity. The board has decided to do only one big project instead of a lot of smaller projects. What would you do? Why do you think it would work? Why is it more important than other projects that might be suggested?
