Please follow the instructions on how to write a position paper and the rubric to make sure this is completed properly!
1. Write 2-3 page position papers on select topics we discuss in class such as legislative efforts at the local or national level (more on this below). 2. Discuss the policy issue, its potential impact on immigrants in the U.S. and your personal thoughts on the issue.
3. You can build on the classroom timeline project work for this assignment. Select a theme or thread from doing this immigration timeline project- which focused on national immigration-related policies up through 1998. For example, it can focus on a particular country, region or people over time, a comparison between two laws/policies, the relationship between a particular law and historical moment, war and conflict and its relationship to policy, economic issues in relation to policy, race, class or gender, etc. These are just examples, not that you have to choose one of these areas. (I have provided 3 different slideshows for immigration timeline to choose from like it speaks about above, you can pick to ONE slideshow to speak on and include the groups names from the slides you are taking )
4. Remember to include at least 3 sources to support your points, a reference page, and in-text citations APA FORMAT PLEASE

The internet can be a powerful ally when you are trying to figure out how to solve a problem. When you select the link to Learning Material for the week of the class, you will see a section labeled Handy Helpers.
Clicking on the word-cloud takes you to a page with links to videos, math sites, PowerPoints, cheat sheets and other materials that explain the topics covered in that section. MATH125 Week 1
Pick one of the Handy Helpers from either Week 1 or Week 2 that no one else has reported on, select Start a New Conversation, and make the subject the name of the link (for example: YouTube patrickJMT: Finding the Slope of a Line). Then give us a review of the “helper”. Include what you like or don’t like about it and why you think it may be helpful to others.
In the body of your text, also include a hyperlink to the site since it is sometimes difficult to find a specific item among all the resources. That way your classmates can also benefit from the site – or avoid it, depending on your review!
You must also give a substantive response to two classmate’s posts. You may ask questions to elicit a more in-depth explanation, add additional information to your own posting in response to questions, share additional knowledge on another posting or share an example from your own life related to the topic. Simply saying “Good post!” will not earn any points.
Please pay attention to spelling and grammar. These skills are most important in about 80% of college courses that require written papers. Good writing skills will also reflect more positively on your status as a college student and graduate.

Step 1 (Post) due at 11:59pm on Th. Feb. 15 || Step 2 (Responses) due at 11:59pm on Sun. Feb. 18)
On the discussion board you engage in a discussion with your classmates about an article on a current social phenomenon and how at least one of the classical theoretical paradigms can hep us understand that social phenomenon. Step 1: Your Post
You will choose one of the listed articles to read, then choose one of the classical sociological theoretical paradigms to explain how we can understand the social phenomenon described in the article you chose. First, select one of the following articles to read and focus on in your answers (click on the title to access the article):
Good Time to Not Have ChildrenActions (access online hereLinks to an external site.)
Behind the Scenes of the Financial CrisisActions (access online hereLinks to an external site.)
Intensive Motherwork: Racism and Black Women’s MotheringActions (access online hereLinks to an external site.)
Racism and its impacts on the Black homeless population are real Actions(access online hereLinks to an external site.)
Then, answer the following questions:
Start your post telling us the title and author of the article you selected. Put the title in quotation marks and be sure to include at least the last name of the author (for example, “A Good Time to Not Have Children” by Holly Hummer). In at least 3 sentences summarize the main points of the article you read. Select one of the following theoretical paradigms that you will use to help us understand the social phenomena described in the article. Tell us theoretical paradigm you will focus on:functionalism (Durkheim)
conflict theory (Marx)
race conflict theory (Du Bois)
symbolic interactionism (Weber)
Now tell us how the theoretical paradigm helps us understand the social phenomenon described in the article. In your explanation, be sure to clearly:tell us what the theoretical paradigm emphasizes when understanding and explaining the social world, and what the theoretical paradigm would emphasize in explaining the particular social phenomenon in the article. To do this, I suggest you first explain what the theoretical paradigm emphasizes more generally when understanding and explaining the social world. Then, identify portions or main points of the article and frame them in terms of the theoretical paradigm. explain how at least one of the theoretical paradigms central concepts is relevant to the social phenomenon described in the article. To do this, I suggest you first identify and define (in your own words) at least one of the theoretical paradigm’s central concepts. The central concepts are those that are bolded in the textbook’s Introductory chapter that you’ve read or those that I italicized in my questions introducing each theoretical paradigm in the Canvas pages Videos about Theoretical Paradigms, Part 1 and Videos about Theoretical Paradigms, Part 2.
rely only on and incorporate class material (i.e., the textbook and videos/additional content I post on Canvas) in your explanation and application of the theoretical paradigm. write information you get from the textbook or additional content I post on Canvas in your own words. If you are using the exact wording of a long phrase, a sentence, or a passage from the textbook or content I post, put the exact wording in quotation marks.
indicate in parentheses the sources from which you get the information or quotations that you use about the theoretical paradigm. Why do you do this? The reason is to help you get used to citing or indicating your sources, which is a main requirement in college classes. How do you do this? Whenever you write information about the theoretical paradigm, tell us where you got that information from by putting information about the source in parentheses. If you got the information from the textbook, you will put the last name of the author(s) and page number that the information comes from.Following is an example of how to cite information gotten from the PDF Introductory chapter of A Sociology Experiment. Note that there are 3 authors of that chapter so I include all of their names. Note also that the sentence’s period goes after the last parenthesis: Karl Marx sees society as made up of social conflict between social classes (Khan, Sharkey and Sharp, pg. 9).
To cite content I posted on Canvas, such as from a video or something I wrote, you can write my last name and the title of the Canvas page it comes from. Here is an example of a sentence relying on information from content I posted, followed by the appropriate citation: Conflict theorists view society as made up of social classes that can be understood as the “haves” and “have-nots” (Jacob-Almeida, Videos about Theoretical Paradigms, Part 1).

You will identify an adult individual for whom you have enough historical and biographical information to examine the individual’s experiences in their family of origin as well as their participation in different groups in childhood and adulthood. I want there to be flexibility and comfort for students in engaging in this process, so you have options in terms of who you use:
You can choose a character from media (e.g., a movie or a show). The character ought to resemble people from real life, meaning: not a cartoon, not a super hero, etc.
I want to write it about the GRINCH Character The approach you choose will have no bearing whatsoever on your grade. We’ll partly use this assignment to ensure that you’re well positioned to complete the remaining assignments.
Written Submission
What you’ll provide here is a brief overview of your chosen subject. I’m thinking approximately two pages of written narrative. Consider incorporating basic content on the following prompts:
Relevant demographic details.
A general history including information on family of origin, personal relationships, and education and/or work life.
Major life events and noteworthy health/mental health considerations.
Exemplary work will effectively communicate relevant data on the proposed subject of these assignments.
If you have any questions or concerns about this assignment, you should reach out before it is due! I’m glad to respond to any inquiries you may have.
Biographical Case Study Part 1 is worth 5% of your final grade. Exemplary work will earn the full 5 points. Satisfactory work will earn 4 points. A passing grade is 3 points.
AlignmentThis assignment addresses the following module learning objective(s):
Interpret client needs in a clinical practice setting within an ecological systems context.

I have attached two articles write two separate summary that come up to at least 200 words. Keep the two separate on different documents as they are not related. Use commas properly. End a subordinate clause beginning with such words (called subordinating
conjunctions) as “when,” “since,” “although,” “as long as,” “while,” “as” with a comma. When he
finished the assignment, he handed it in. “But” usually has a comma before it as in: I went home, but
no one was there. Words or phrases in apposition have a comma before and after. Similarly, such
words as “however” in the middle of a sentence has a comma before and after. Capitalize proper nouns
and adjectives: Greek/Greeks, not greek or greeks. Do not capitalize the word ancient: ancient Greece.
Do not use contractions in formal writing.
Common Errors to avoid
Iliad or Iliad, not Iliad: underline or italicize titles of books and poems. Titles of articles are
enclosed by quotation marks.
it’s = it is
its = possession
their = possessive vs. there
punctuation: “…store.” “…store,” “…store”; “…store”: (Single punctuation marks are placed
within the quotations, while double punctuation marks are placed outside.)
Avoid run-on sentences: He wanted to go home as soon as he finished, however he stayed
behind. There should be a semi-colon before “however.” A complete sentence ends with a
period or semi-colon, except when you string several very short sentences in a row: I came, I
saw, I conquered.
Avoid fragmentary sentences: Since he lived in the South for over ten years during the 1960s
and experienced many facets of country living in those years. Drop “Since” and you have a
complete sentence.
