Explain the prosperity gospel in your own words. How can this perspective benefit groups in society, and how can it be harmful? Your answer must be at least 250 words and contain your thoughts and chapter material.

Sociologists use the concept “relativity of deviance” to describe how acts of deviance can vary among groups, often within the same society. Thus, it is not the act itself, but rather how a group labels and responds to an act that determines if the act is deviant in society. Consider the recent policy from the National Football League (NFL) regarding players standing for the national anthem.
NFL owners have unanimously approved a new national anthem policy that requires players to stand if they are on the field during the performance but gives them the option to remain in the locker room if they prefer. (The policy is currently on hold as of July 2018).
The policy subjects teams to a fine if a player or any other team personnel do not show respect for the anthem. That includes any attempt to sit or kneel, as dozens of players have done during the past two seasons to protest racial inequality and police brutality. Those teams also will have the option to fine any team personnel, including players, for the infraction.
This discussion will require you to apply three sociological concepts and/or theories related to deviance to analyze the existing tension regarding the National Anthem during NFL games. How can the policy be viewed as “deviant” from multiple sides of this discussion. Consider the perspective of the thirty-two team owners, the players and the fans who purchase tickets to the game and subscribe to football packages each season.

I need help with a short essay, the prompt is: How do white nationalist and right-wing populists recruit, retain and mobilize their members? Your essay should incorporate the film: “Skin”, (screened in class), and all four of the required readings from 1/29 (Minkowitz, Blee, Kelly & Wilson). There should be approximately 850 words. The course readings are: – Donna Minkowitz, “How the Alt-Right Is Using Sex and Camp to Attract Gay
Men to Fascism”
– Kathleen Blee, “Becoming A Racist: Women in Contemporary Ku Klux Klan and
Neo-Nazi Groups”
– Annie Kelly, “The Alt-Right: Reactionary Rehabilitation for White Masculinity”
– Chris Wilson, “Nostalgia, Entitlement & Victimhood: The Synergy of White
Genocide & Misogyny”
The film “Skin” directed by Anthony Fabian should also be incorporated. The course readings are attached to this message

Social Inequality and Social Change Exercise Part 1 This exercise emphasizes the idea that “How you define the problem is prescriptive.” That is, being able to identify manifestations of inequality is a critical first step to determining the intervention or response to the problem. In order to expand our problem definition capacity, the course will expand our collective vocabulary concerning mechanisms and practices within organizations/systems which promote inequality. This includes structural drivers of inequality (such as formal and informal rules, norms and practices) which serve to maintain the advantage of some identities and the marginalization of others at collective levels. Students will apply their expanded vocabulary and models of structural inequality, fairness and conditional inclusion to analyze a real-world scenario reflecting inequality. Students will have the opportunity to pick their own scenario and this analysis will include identifying and describing the manifestations of unfairness (what is wrong), and explain why the mechanism represents unfairness. Students will use at least six references from the course to support their problem analysis and proposed prescriptions.

Only focus on one clip of the reading. include your thoughts about any aspect of the readings that interest you AND the questions you have after reading. You are strongly encouraged to response to your classmates’ posts. In your reading responses, here are four types of questions: 1) What is the assigned reading text about? 2) What is this text/film trying to achieve? 3) what materials does the author rely on to make his/ her argument? 4) what analytics or methodologies does the author use? **Analyze, don’t summarize.

> First 6 pages: indication of the substance/argument of the topic, focusing on the belief that the concept of the ‘American Dream’ started off being realistic, and ultimately becoming more and more difficult to obtain. Run viewpoints from American citizens (ie: lower class moving up to middle class, middle class being able to live the same lifestyle that their parents provided), as well as immigrants looking to find a better life in the US. Lean towards social science as being the viewpoint of this argument (those from lower economic means have less chance for success, those with less access to education have lower chance for success vs. those who have the financial means to get a good education, assistance from family, etc). Include at least 3 statistics/data points from references.
>Remainder of paper include a focus from the humanities: tie in poverty with a work of art or quote from a work of literature. Ideally here you’ll be weaving together the humanities with the social science work for the first portion of the project. References:
20 references required:
>6 social science journal articles
>5 humanities journal articles
>4 works of art and/or literature references referenced
>5 non-journal sources

Follow these instructions: Watch the movie, Baby Boy (2001), and be sure to answer ONLY EIGHT of the 23 questions listed In at least nine, well-written paragraphs. With those responses you should compose a nine-paragraph, well-considered essay by analyzing Jody’s character from at least two-three different psychological perspectives. Explain the motivations for his behavior by using scenes and visual elements from the film to support your contentions. DO NOT answer all of the questions. ONLY ANSWER 8 of your choice. Each paragraph should be 1/3 of a page, single-spaced, and your assignment should be three single-spaced pages in total. Do NOT include any pictures. You want to develop your responses into nine in-depth paragraphs where one flows into another to create a coherent essay. Be certain to use APA-style in-text citations and supply a Works Cited page at the end of the paper. QUESTIONS: 1) Note the unusual image of the main character, Jody, in a fetal position but as a fully- grown man. Then couple that with the quote that Jody iterates from Frances Cress Welsing. How does this image and narration both complement and contradict each other? What is happening to Jody? 2) What is happening to Yvette? Who is she? Where does Jody go after he drops her home from the clinic? How does Jody project himself to kids in the ‘hood? What does this tell us about him? How does Singleton depict Jody on his bike as opposed to driving Yvette’s car? 3) What does he do when he goes to Peanut’s house? Who is she to him? 4) How does Singleton depict Jody when Melvin arrives and kisses his mother? 5) Who is Sweet Pea and how may we compare him to Jody? 6) Note the montage sequences that Jody dreams.

How does Singleton depict each of them when they are in the same frame? 8) When Jody complains to his mother, Juanita, about him living there, what does she advise Jody to do? 9) How does Jody choose to earn a living? How does Jody value success? How does Melvin attempt to school Jody and Sweet Pea about the nature of real value? 10) A key theme in this film is “hyper-masculinity”. How does this affect the way men treat women? How do the men resolve their problems with their women? Provide examples from key scenes in the film. Note the subtle differences in the way that Jody, Sweet pea, and Melvin treat their women? 11) How may we characterize Yvette in comparison to Jody? Provide examples of Jody and Yvette’s arguments and how these are resolved. How do they speak to each other? 12) How may we liken Yvette to Juanita? To Peanut? 13) Who is Rodney and why does Yvette still speak to him while he is in jail? 14) What does Sweet Pea want and what does he fear? 15) What does Sweet Pea confess to Jody in the garage? Why does he kick the other kids out? 16) Why does Jody insist that it is his car and not Yvette’s? What kind of lesson does Yvette want to teach Jody? 17) What happens to Jody when “kids” attempt to steal his bike and his liquor? How does Sweet Pea respond? Look at Jody’s face when Sweet Pea whips one of them. What does this indicate? 18) What happens when Rodney shows up at Yvette’s home? What does he do to her? 19) When it is a choice between Jody and Melvin, what does Juanita decide? 20) Who does Jody see when he is about to kill Rodney? Why? 21) What does Jody attempt to do before Melvin stops him? 22) Identify all the images/sequences that are both tragic and comedic?
