 Week 4 ProjectAssignment Task: Submit to complete this assignment Due December 27 at 11:59 PM

Assignment Overview

For this assignment you will have the opportunity to conduct an experiment, or quasi-experiment, in order to explore deviance in our society. As we learned this week, deviance is ”any behavior, belief, or condition that violates significant social norms in the society or group in which it occurs” (Kendall, 2013, p. 180). Cultural norms are behaviors and expectations for a group and fall into three categories: folkways, mores, and laws. For this assignment you will explore society’s reaction to a folkway violation. You will then utilize the textbook, online materials, and the South Online Library in order to write a two-page essay on the deviant (not criminal) experience.

Below you will find a step-by-step guide for completing this paper:

  • First, review the sections on Research Ethics and the subsection on Testing a Hypothesis under the section Research Methods in chapter one of your text in order to familiarize yourself with sociological experiments. Then, begin this assignment by choosing a folkway to violate. Examples include (and there are many folkways to choose from): wearing the other gender’s clothing, speaking a foreign language to an English speaker, sitting with a stranger at a restaurant, and eating dinner with your hands. Be sure to ask your facilitator if you are unsure if the norm you choose to violate is appropriate for this assignment. Here is an example of a norm violation for you to watch.
  • Violate your chosen folkway (not a law) in at least one situation and document it with pictures, video, and/or notes. Be sure to note how you feel when you violate the norm, as well as other people’s reactions to the violation. If you do not receive adequate data (reactions) in one situation, try it again in another.
  • Write an organized essay that explores the norm you violated, how you felt while being deviant, and the reactions you received while you were violating the norm. You should then analyze the experience, including the theories of deviance presented in the text. Your paper should also include an introduction with a thesis and a conclusion that reviews all main points you present.

Assignment alternative: you may choose to do a reflection paper on an instance when you have been deviant in the past. A reflection paper must contain analysis and integrate concepts from the text. Review the grading criteria to ensure that your reflection paper contains all of the necessary components.

Remember to use APA format for the essay style as well as in-text citations and when listing the references. Submit your 2–5-page essay (maximum 12 pt. font) describing your application project and your findings to the Submissions area.

WHITMAN ACTIVITY

 

 

  1. What five adjectives would you use to describe Whitman’s style, poetic technique, and/or worldview?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. What are three philosophical, theoretical, cultural, or political concepts that Whitman seems to admire or endorse? (e.g. “fraternity”)

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Copy and paste or type out two to four lines of Whitman’s poetry below. Add a few annotations to them, making note of techniques, themes, or arguments. (e.g. “This image recurs several times in the poem,” or “This line speaks to a larger theme about knowledge versus experience”).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Formulate a sentence that ties Whitman’s poetic praxis to the conceptual arguments he makes or to the worldview he develops (e.g. “Through his persistent use of ____________, Whitman poetically suggests that _______________________________,” or “Whitman deploys _________________ with the effect of __________________”).

 

 

With your team, create three tools: a survey, a set of interview questions, and a set of focus group questions.  Questions can be similar or even the same across all three tools. You must use at least two of the tools in your audit.

  1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
  2. With your team, create three tools: a survey, a set of interview questions, and a set of focus group questions.  Questions can be similar or even the same across all three tools. You must use at least two of the tools in your audit.
  3. Develop two versions of each tool:
    1. a “clean copy” version that you can use with your business/organization.
    2. an annotated version that explains the rationale for the questions. (This means you provide a reason for why you are including that question. The reason should be based on the communication principles you are learning in this course. Provide citations and references appropriately.)
  4. By the end of the workshop, finalize the three research tools. They must be posted as attachments in the discussion and accessible by the whole team. Each team member must acknowledge the consensus on the three tools within the discussion board. If any team member does not participate, the other team members can proceed with what was collaboratively created.

TOPIC: Multicausality: Confounding Assignment

These estimates include the influence of other extraneous variables, such as confounders. Confounding is often considered a type of bias, but it is a real relationship that requires an adjustment in the study design or analysis. Understanding how to identify confounding is important as most associations have multiple causal factors. Recognizing if a study adjusted for the appropriate confounding variables is important to determine the validity of the association. To assist your proficiency with the concept of confounding, and how it ultimately affects public health, this practice assignment has been provided.

Complete Problems 1 to 4 from the “Multicausality: Confounding – Assignment” by Schoenbach, located in your Topic Materials. Check your answers against the solutions presented in the “Multicausality: Confounding – Assignment Solutions” Topic Material.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.

HIST 114 Final, Fall 2020
This final consists of two sets of questions – you must answer all of them. Your writing is important:
focus on writing clearly, with strong topic sentences, and reread your work before you submit.
However, in terms of grading, your thinking is even more important: the best answers will draw on ideas
and examples from across the decades we studied and contain specific details. Don’t just write one or
two vague paragraphs – make sure you give enough information to show me that you know what you’re
talking about!
You may use your textbook, any primary sources we used in class, your notes, and the online lectures to
help you compose your answers, but your work must be your own – things like discussing answers with
classmates or others outside the class and/or copying materials found on the web will be considered
academic dishonesty.
The final will be due on Moodle by 11:59pm Monday, December 21. Because of the deadline for
semester grades, I cannot grant any extensions.
** If you encounter problems or are confused about the questions, I will help you. Please contact me as
soon as possible so that I can help you get on the right track.
Short Answers (4 points each):
Read these descriptions of documents, and then evaluate their usefulness. What was the author’s
purpose – why did they create the source? What kind of argument would this source be useful making?
Each answer should be 1-2 sentences.
0) Sample: A flyer written by the CIA about someone who had escaped to America that was
dropped from a plane over Communist Poland in the 1950s.
Answer: The authors of this source are trying to convince people in Poland that Communism is bad
and that they should make plans to try to come to America – it would not be a good source about
what Communism was actually like. It would be helpful in an argument about how Americans
understood Communism or how the American government tried to fight Communism in Europe.
1) A speech by Joseph McCarthy in which he accuses members of the American military of being
secret Communists, given in 1954.
2) A memorial plaque outside of Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King was pastor,
installed by the congregation in 1968.
3) The same memorial plaque installed by the Atlanta historical commission in the 1990s as part of
the campaign to make Atlanta a civil rights tourist destination.
Essays (44 points each):
1) The move from liberalism to conservativism is the big story of the 1960s-1980s. How can we
understand the shift between LBJ’s Great Society and Reagan’s revolution?
You should be imagining a 5 paragraph essay:
 Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the LBJ and Reagan eras. How did
Americans’ attitudes about the role of government change? About economics?
 Then, identify and discuss THREE things (people, events, ideas) that moved the nation away
from LBJ-era liberalism toward Reagan-era conservatism.
 Finally, choose the idea, event, or person that you consider to be the most important factor
and, in a paragraph, explain why. Please be sure to use specific examples, dates, and other
details from our course to support your answer.
2) How has something you learned in this class – an idea, a perspective, a set of facts, a way of
learning – challenged your beliefs about the story of America or changed the way you
understand what’s happening in the world around us now?
In 1-2 double spaced pages, describe the process of learning about and understanding this new
idea and how your perspective has shifted. What is the most important thing that you will take
with you from our class?
Extra Credit:
In our class, we spent a lot of time examining primary sources from the past: documents, photos,
political cartoons, films, and even objects. What primary sources will historians in the future use to
understand what’s happening right now? Pick a single document or item that you think represents the
current moment, describe it (or enclose a photo), and explain why you c
