Final research Assignment Sheet (PSY 100, PSY 200, SOC 230)

Overview: The goal of this project is to see if you can accurately and critically, research a specific topic in the behavioral sciences (psychology and sociology) and document your findings in power point presentation.

Description: A critical review is a summary of the research, your understanding, and your ability to tie all of the information together in a clear and concise manner. The information you will include in your presentation is based upon current research, no later than 5-6 years old; anything prior to 2019 is considered OUTDATED. The content is separate from the title page and reference pages.

Procedure:

Choose one of the listed topics for the concentration of your paper. Email me by the end of week 6 if you have not done so already. We will discuss topics and focus during week 5.

What are the key characteristics of the research? Demographic information, socioeconomic status, etc.; treatments, prognosis, etc.

Relate the research to readings, notes, or your personal knowledge. Does it contradict or support anything you have learned?

Summarize briefly emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of the current research (this info should be contained in your introduction).

Requirements:

All presentations must have a title page, double-spaced with a 12 pt. Font (Arial or Times New Roman).

The presentation will be at minimum FIVE slides, no more than TEN in length (that does NOT include the ref page or title page)

All pages must have appropriately sized margins(1).

There can be NO LESS than FIVE separate graphics included in the presentation. Remember: you are creating a presentation for an audience, and your goal is to inform and impress.

NO LESS than FIVE references!

Your presentation MUST have a reference slide.

Should not have ref from Web MD or Wikipedia (.edu, .org., .gov are highly preferred)

Use Purdue Owl for proper citation instruction (link provided)

*Remember that sections should be at least a paragraph or more and that you should fully answer and analyze the required points (last page) in the body of your presentation.

Thought experiment assignment(20%) In this assignment, students will apply course concepts to a contemporary issue related to forced migration or refugee protection. Students will select a current event, policy debate, media representation, or humanitarian response (e.g., the U.K. return hubs/proposed offshoreprocessing centers) and analyze it using ideas and frameworks introduced in the course (such as labelling, externalization, prolonged displacement, spaces of encampment, humanitarianism, governance, deservingness, etc.). The goal is not to propose policy solutions, but to demonstrate conceptual understanding and critical analysis by using course material to rethink how the issue is framed and governed. Papers should be approximately 1,5002,000 words in length -double spaced times new roman 12pt (excluding references) -use scholarly articles- APA reference- also include in text citations (author, date) ,and also include the page number you are citing from. NOTE: These were the professor’s concerns- I am writing to follow up regarding your recent essay submission. After reviewing the paper, I have several concerns that I would like to clarify before proceeding with grading. In particular: The essay does not cite any sources related to the UK return hubs proposal itself, despite relying heavily on it as a case study. There are sections where claims are made without supporting citations. The citations included do not provide page numbers or close engagement with the assigned readings. -I attached some course readings-

In an entry of at least 800 words, you are to reflect on health care and society.

You should address the following in your own words utilizing concepts from the course:

What responsibility does society owe to the environment, and what legal strategies should be implemented to address societys impact on nature?

How could the U.S. health care system be improved to create more affordable quality care for all? Be sure to include various theories and to consider minority and majority applications.

How does the nature of social mobility in American society directly impact the family dynamic?

How have the theories discussed in this course impacted your personal educational journey?

You must use at least one peer-reviewed or academic source to support your journal entry. All sources used must have citations and references properly formatted in APA Style.

Overview:

This week, we examined how institutions regulate behavior and how stratification produces inequality. Sociology shows us that these processes are deeply connected. Institutions do not just organize society. They sort people into unequal outcomes by distributing opportunity, monitoring behavior, and attaching value or risk to different groups.

For this assignment, you will create a visual sociological model that shows how one institution contributes to unequal life chances.

This is not an essay. Your task is to make inequality visible.

Instructions:

Step 1: Choose ONE institution

Select one institution:

• Education
• Healthcare
• Criminal Justice
• Housing
• Labor and Employment
• Media
• Government

Step 2: Create a System Snapshot (Visual)

Design a 1-page visual that shows how this institution sorts people.

Your visual must include all four of the following elements (you decide how they appear):

1. Entry Points
2. How do people enter this institution?
3. What factors shape where they start?
4. Rules and Controls
5. What rules, monitoring, or expectations shape behavior inside the institution?
6. Labels and Judgments
7. What labels are applied?
8. Who is seen as successful, risky, deserving, or deviant?
9. Unequal Outcomes
10. What different outcomes result?
11. Who gains advantages or mobility?
12. Who faces barriers, surveillance, or exclusion?

You may represent this as:

• A flowchart
• A tiered or ladder system
• An app-style interface
• A decision tree
• A premium vs basic model
• Any clear and creative format

Step 3: Short Written Explanation

Along with your visual, include a 300350 word explanation that:

• Explains how your system works
• Connects your model to at least three concepts from this week, drawing from both modules (institutions, social control, labeling, stratification, class, life chances, mobility, meritocracy)
• Uses at least two outside sources properly cited and includes one direct quote from each
• Explains why this system often feels normal or invisible
• Identifies who benefits from the system staying the same

This should read like a walkthrough, not a formal essay.

Be creative, but also sociological: explain why your choices make sense
