Assignment 4 – Literature Review
In a minimum of 500 words, summarize what you learned about your topic from reading the sources on your reading list (Assignment 3). Note that in grading I will consider whether you took my feedback on your reading list into consideration—you must include a minimum of three sociological sources on your list. Treat this assignment as the first draft of your literature review, which should each accomplish each of the following tasks:
1. introduces a problem that can be investigated sociologically.
2. provides existing background information about that problem.
3. synthesizes existing sociological research on the topic, identifying key concepts and theoretical frames that sociologists use to describe your research interests, and explaining in detail what they mean and what they tell us about what you want to study.
4. charts the terrain of existing sociological research, identifying what we have not yet figured out (identifies a gap in the literature) and states this clearly as a research question.
Drawing on what you learn from your literature review, you should edit and revise your research question into a concise question you plan to investigate. You should consider the research questions of the sources you read, using them as a model for how to pose your own original research question.

SOC 3393 Final Exam
Answer four questions: you MUST answer ONE question from Section A, TWO questions from Section B, and ONE question from Section C.
In total you must write four essays (minimum of 8 pages, total). Your answer for each should consist of an application essay that demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of the sociological traditions and related readings, your ability to think critically about them, and your ability to apply them properly to each question. You must cite directly from the course readings to prove your answers – using only the class lecture notes will result in a failing grade. As with the final paper, this exam will be submitted to SafeAssign by the professor prior to grading.
SECTION A
1. What influence did philosophy have on the Durkheimian tradition and the micro-interactionist tradition? Examine how the history of these traditions evolved from other disciplines, and what concepts from previous discipline informed the key theorists, and allowed them to built their own research and traditions.
2. Compare the micro-interactionist tradition to any of the previous macro-traditions (conflict, rational/utilitarian, Durkheimian). What is the micro-interactionist critique of the macro approach? What concepts do you identify as the strongest/weakest from these theorists? What theorists do you think does the best job of bridging these two ways of studying the micro- and macro-worlds?
SECTION B
3. Examine Durkheim’s claim that social density contributes to (or detracts from) the moral unity of society. How convincing is Durkheim’s explanation of social bonds and social solidarity on the “health” (physical, emotional, mental, moral) of a society? What other theorists from our readings give the strongest support to Durkheim’s ideas, in your view?
4. Discuss Addams’, DuBois’, and Freud’s critical contributions to sociology. Elaborate on your answer using their research, concepts, and theoretical approaches. How, in your view, did they expand the focus of classical sociological theory?
5. Discuss Cooley’s, Mead’s, and Blumer’s theories on the development of the “self”. How do their theories relate back to concepts from previous macro traditions (Durkheimian, conflict, rational/utilitarian)? Which theorist do you consider as having the strongest theory on the “self”?

SECTION C
6. Examine how Addams’ and DuBois set a standard for American sociology. What made their works unique, and how did these works reflect the specific conditions within the U.S.? What challenges to traditional perspectives did they present? How do their theories relate back to concepts from other classical traditions (Durkheimian, conflict, rational/utilitarian, microinteractionist)?
7. How did other academic disciplines (economics, anthropology, history, etc.) and scientific rigor influence the works of Durkheim, Marx, Weber, and the microinteractionist tradition? Give specific examples of this influence to highlight your argument.

Purpose: Social media platforms( instagram,tiktok, facebook, YouTube ) have been seen over the years for causing many of the mental problems young children and teens have suffered with over the years. What if there is a link between juvenile delinquency and the platforms?teenagers use these platforms as a way to garner attention from their peers, but over the years, these platform have become a hierarchy problem, with people the flashiest, and most dangerous garnering the most attention. As kids try to replicate this same come up(minority groups) they have had to likely due deviant things to gain these new heights of “fame”. It has been said that video games like call of duty, gta, and other violent games have been responsible for the desensitizing of children to the harsh realities of their crime. – Interconnection between the three( mass media, games , and drill music) Is social media a cause or mechanism? Is video games a cause or mechanism? Is Drill music a cause or mechanism? I don’t need a super heavy background on the topics , just a moderate one. But their relations and how they have impacted juvenile delinquents is needed. In 1-3 paragraph towards the conclusion can you also look at solutions ,recommendations or solutions that can be implemented to help the youth

Sociology 1 Paper 2: My Playing Field Application and Analysis
Instructions For Paper 2
The assignment is to apply the course material to your specific playing field/your life and analyze your playing field/life from a sociological perspective. Make sure you have reviewed your notes from the online lecture titled “The Family” as the concept “playing field” is introduced in that lecture and that you understand the concept “playing field” before you begin this assignment (review online Family lecture).
The assignment is to discuss three main characteristics of your playing field and explain how each has affected you. You are required to include family as one of your main topics and must choose from the following main topics for your other two main topics: gender, social class, education, race and ethnicity, or religion. Your paper must include one very lengthy paragraph for each of the three main topics you have chosen.
You will apply the course material and subtopics covered in the course materials on each main topic to examples of your specific playing field and your specific experiences; directly relate the material and subtopics presented in the course material on each main topic to your specific experiences. Each main topic section must include at least six subtopics. In terms of subtopics, each of the topics covered in the lectures, chapters in the textbook, assigned articles, and films/film clips for each main topic are considered subtopics. For example some of the subtopics associated with the main topic gender are: gender socialization, gender role expectations, gender inequality, patriarchy, pay gap (data), glass ceiling, male privilege, glass escalator, second shift, gendered division of labor, gender and the media/Kilbourne research, feminization of poverty, feminism, etc. You are required to discuss your specific experiences on each of the subtopics you include in your paper, directly apply the material.
You must apply the terms/concepts, research data/findings, and social theories related to the main topics to your playing field/your experiences. Go through the chapters in the textbook, online lectures, and articles/other course material provided in the lessons on each of the main topics you are including in your paper and apply the relevant material to your playing field/your experiences (this is the way you will go about working on this assignment).
It is required that you utilize the online lectures material, textbook material, and articles/other course material for each main topics included in your paper.
A minimum of six instances of application of terms/concepts/research data is required in each main topic section (application of the material with each subtopic); a minimum of eighteen instances of application of terms/concepts/research data throughout your paper. Clear and complete application and analysis required. In some instances a subtopic is a key term (for instance, patriarchy is a subtopic and a key term), in other instances this is not the case (divorce is a subtopic for a family section, however, it is a common word, not a key term…you would need to apply the research data on divorce – causes and effects – to be considered application).
It is also required that you apply a minimum of one social theory in each main topic section; a minimum of three social theories are required throughout your paper. It is required that you utilize at least three different theories throughout your paper and that at least one of the theories included is one of our three main theories. Apply the social theories presented in the course material: structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, social learning theory, or theories of deviance. Theories must be directly applied to your specific playing field/experiences. Do not discuss the theories in general, directly apply them to your playing field and your experiences and explain application. Explain the theory and explain application. Social theory can be applied to a specific example or can be applied to the overall theme of the main topic section. Clear and complete application and analysis is required.
In some instances students will need to predict the long term effects of particular experiences, predict according to the research data/findings on the topics. In terms of predictions ask yourself, how, according to the data presented in the course, the events have affected you or will affect you in the future. If the effects presented in the research/study findings for a particular issue do not apply to you then you can state what the effects generally are (according to the research data/findings) and then discuss what the outcome(s) were for you and explain why.
It is not required that you include sensitive issues if you are not comfortable doing so. In this case it is suggested that you focus on other aspects of your playing field.
Important information on how to work on your outline for this assignment
