I am doing a groups assignment, my only task is to write the Perspective and recommendations part of the paper. Civilian right act of 1964

This assignment is associated with the following learning outcomes: Define socialization; and Identify the key agents of socialization throughout the life course.

In our textbook, Sociology in Action, the media is identified as an “increasingly influential agent of socialization” (Korgen and Atkinson 2019).

For Discussion Board Assignment 3 you are to select two (2) songs and answer the following questions:

1. What values, beliefs, and/or behaviors are promoted by the songs you selected. It is important that you include lyrics from each song in your post to illustrate your points.
2. How does music affect our socialization?

*If you select a song that contains explicit lyrics, please include the term “Explicit Lyrics” in the title of your post.

To complete this assignment, choose a day that will be your “Day of Compassion” and try your absolute best to live each minute of that day as compassionately as possible. In other words, for a full 24-hour period you should do your best to reduce suffering of others, help those in need, be considerate and respectful, and avoid causing harm to any living being.

When carrying out this assignment, leave no behavior unexamined from watching TV to eating lunch to decisions about giving time or money to others (for example, have you ever considered visiting the cats at the animal shelter or taking a shelter dog for a walk?). That is, don’t limit yourself to simply holding the door open for a stranger or petting a lonely dog; think about all the unnecessary suffering in the world, and strive for the greatest impact and deepest level of compassion without being phony or insincere. It is up to you to define what compassion is and to decide how best to realize it.

If you are already quite compassionate, try being compassionate toward groups you don’t often focus on, and even if your actions don’t differ much from how you normally behave, carefully observe and analyze what transpires during the day. If outside events make it difficult for you to participate on the designated day, or if you feel dissatisfied with your performance of the assignment, feel free to repeat the exercise on a later day.

Instructions:

1. Choose an Observation Site: Select a location where you are likely to be able to have compassionate interactions (e.g., a volunteer event, a charity fundraiser, a public park).
2. Observe and Record: Pay close attention to the interactions between you and other individuals. Note the verbal and nonverbal communication, the setting, and any props or symbols used.
3. Analyze Through the Lens of Dramaturgy: Consider how individuals manage impressions, present themselves to others, and use the setting and props to convey meaning. Identify instances of front-stage and back-stage behavior.
4. Analyze Through the Lens of Exchange: Analyze the interactions in terms of costs and benefits, reciprocity, and the potential for building social capital.

.

Part II: Write About Your Experience

Submit a social psychological analysis of what the day was like using at least 4 class topics, concepts or theories and references to class material. Please address the following questions:

• How did you define compassion, and who were the recipients of your efforts?
• If your behavior was different than normal, which person did you like more: the “Day of Compassion you” or the “normal you”? If you preferred the “Day of Compassion you,” what are the factors that prevent this “you” from coming out?
• What are the social and psychological costs and benefits of behaving compassionately? In your opinion, do the benefits outweigh the costs?
• How did others respond to your compassion? Do you think they noticed a difference in your behavior? What attributions did people make for your behavior, and why?
• How can social psychology be used to foster compassion? Which topics/concepts/ theories covered in class so far best relate to this exercise?
• Discuss how the principles of dramaturgy and the exchange approach helped you understand the complexities of compassionate behavior in real-world situations. Provide specific examples from your observations to support your analysis.
• A 35-page Word Document
• Must include a title page, abstract, and references. These are not counted in the page count/slide count.

This discussion addresses module outcomes 1 and 2. You have learned about the institutions of politics, education and religion. You have learned theories that examine how these institutions promote solidarity and stability in society even though they also contribute to inequality and dysfunction. Functionalists argue that the institutions interact and support each other in order to maintain social order. You will critically evaluate how these institutions interact and discuss whether this stability functions well or does harm to society.

Engage

Before beginning this activity, be sure to read the Module Notes and the assigned readings and viewings. Use as much detail from the readings and other learning materials in the module as possible to answer the following questions.

1. Pick one topic that has been covered in class thus far from the following options: racism, deviance, poverty.
2. Apply one theory to a discussion of how this topic is supported in politics, education and religion.
3. Do these institutions support social solidarity on this topic, or do they promote social dysfunction? Use evidence from the module readings and viewings to support your answer.

This writing assignment addresses course outcomes 3 and 4. This assignment will require you to think about gender, sexuality and social institutions. You will apply a social theory to discuss how sexism and heterosexism are embedded in social institutions. You will evaluate how inequality is created and maintained by social institutions. You will be asked to think carefully about current policies in place to prevent discrimination and bias against women and against members of marginalized sexual and gender orientations. You will be asked to make suggestions on how these policies could be improved.

For this activity, you will identify one area where sexism or heterosexism is evident in one of the key social institutions you have studied. You will find a current event article from a local, national or international news source that details an institutional act of sexism or heterosexism. This might include laws that allow women or the LGBTQA community to be treated unfairly, reports on differences in pay or hiring practices, publicized violations of Title IX, or any other act that appears biased that is committed by an institution. For example, several years ago, the Boy Scouts of America (an institutionalized group) came under fire for refusing to allow gay men to serve as troop leaders. This is an example of heterosexist bias. Recently, the Pope made a statement that women were allowed to nurse their infants in any Catholic church during Mass; this was due to some parishes banning public nursing. Banning public nursing is an act of gender bias. Be sure that you are discussing an institutional act and not an individual act of bias. You will describe the event that you have chosen. You will then apply key sociological concepts and theories to your discussion of this event. You will also apply a social theory to explain why this institutional practice exists. The theory you pick will be the one that best fits your world view (structural functionalism, Conflict, Symbolic Interaction, Feminist or Queer Theory). You will review the positive (social stability) and negative (social dysfunction) consequences of this practice. Your review and analysis will focus on the structure of society and not on the individual. You will support your arguments with appropriate outside sources as needed.

Evaluate

Before beginning this project, please be sure you have thoroughly read and reviewed all of the content in modules 4 and 5. Pay special attention to the terms and concepts from your reading material that help you understand the way that sociologists look at and make sense of gender and institutional development in society. Next, select a current event from a local or national news source that discusses a sexist or heterosexist act. Then, please write an approximately 750 words of text (approximately 3 pages of double-spaced, 12-point font of text) essay addressing the following question prompts. A references list should make up an additional page.

• Briefly summarize the article that you have selected. Provide the specifics of the act and which social institution is engaged in the act.
• Provide a theoretical explanation for why the act occurred. This must be a structural explanation that focuses on the institution. Use the theory that best fits your understanding of the act.
• Discuss how this act was managed. For example, if it was illegal, what were the legal sanctions against the institution? If not illegal, what was the public response?
• Finally, suggest policy changes that might prevent future occurrences of this act.

Your essay will be evaluated in terms of how thoroughly you: answer the questions above; use resources to document your main points; and properly cite referenced work. Your essay should address all of the questions above and should consist of approximately 750 words of text (3 pages of double-spaced, 12-point font of text). Citations and a references list will likely make up an additional page.

To successfully complete Project 1, you will need to organize your responses to the questions and then craft a formatted essay that includes each of the following:

1. A title page;
2. Well-developed introductory paragraph explaining the purpose of the essay and briefly referencing some of the main points/contentions offered in the essay;
3. The body of the essay should consist of your effort to best answer the primary questions from the assignment prompt and should consist of approximately 750 words (approximately 3 pages of double-spaced, 12-point font of text). Though the method by which this is done is largely up to you, it is essential that the responses to the questions in the prompt be based upon scholarly readings and should remain at all times defensible (in an academic sense). You have a great deal of information to draw from in creating your essay, including the assigned readings and hyperlinked sources in the module notes. As is the case with every assignment in SOC101, presenting any unsubstantiated, illogical, or indefensible position will have an adverse effect on the final grade. Please direct any questions regarding these expectations to the instructor;
4. A concise concluding paragraph that briefly restates both the purpose of the essay as well as some of the primary argument offered by you, the essays author. Be sure the concluding paragraph does not introduce new information;
5. A list of all sources consulted in the preparation of the essay. The essay should be formatted according to APA-style documentation. This includes the format of the list of references.

What is your zip code area like? You probably can answer this question without having done any research based on the ordinary observation you have done while living there. In the first lab you did some investigation of the area using statistics and maps from the census bureau and Claritas data. In this assignment you will continue your study of your zip code area by exploring it on your own and writing your own report combining results from your observation and statistical information. For this assignment, you want to observe your zip code through a conscious sociological observation, rather than ordinary human observation. That is, try to avoid selective observation, over generalization and the other errors of ordinary human inquiry. Spend at least one hour walking around your zip code. Make sure you visit several places along the boundary, including those that are farthest apart. You will want to bring a notebook with you, and may want to bring a camera. Some things to look for are: Different areas–with their own identities, populations, land uses–within the zip code; Evidence of the presence of specific ethnic or racial groups; The presence of people of different ages; The presence of any of the segments listed by PRIZM NE or any other segmentation system you looked at ; The built environment (What kinds of buildings and open spaces are there? What condition are they in? What kinds of uses (residential, retail, industry)? ; Anything about sociological themes that are worth noting (such as schools, religious institutions, facilities for the elderly, health care resources, services for immigrants, types of families and workplaces)? Write a 3-page double-spaced report using 10-point font on what you learned about your zip code, combining your personal observations and the information from the census bureau and Claritas data. In your report you should reflect on the usefulness of the different kinds of data you use (such as the census and direct observation) and any differences. You may want to explore maps of various characteristics for your zip code at ( ) (make sure you click on more to get a longer list). (Note: if you zoom on one of these maps you can get a good map of the zip code boundaries). Also explore some of the other tables that give detailed information on ethnicity, housing patterns and other topics. You may also want to visit the NYC government homepage website for more data and locations of places of interest (enter your address). You do not need to include every statistic in the report, but select the ones you feel are most useful for describing your zip code area (and these might be very different than those useful for other areas). Feel free to include selected tables, maps, photographs and drawings to enhance the writing (but not to substitute for it). Be sure to provide citations for any tables, maps or statistics you use. Although it would be possible to spend the whole semester doing this project, this assignment is intended to be done in one week and to have a brief write-up (most likely 3-5 pages). There are three main motivations for this assignment: to start the semester with some sociological writing; to have you to practice looking at the world using sociological eyes; to have you do some research using both existing data and your own direct, qualitative observation. A strong paper will not just be descriptive, but will be organized around one or two key points. That is, have a thesis and use evidence to support it. Also make sure to refer to the data from the Census study and Claritas study. Make sure the paper has an introduction and a conclusion and each paragraph has a topic sentence. The paper should be proofread for grammar and spelling. Make sure to include the actual zip code on the title page along with your name and section number. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TURNING IN THE ASSIGNMENT. Put a copy of your essay in Google Docs in the folder you shared with me. Share with jelisebrown@gmail.com. Paste the link to your document in the comments area. Title your google document with your name and the title of the assignment
