Groups make up the fabric of society. Each one of us is a part of many large and small groups that provide us with a sense of identity and connection. Seth Godin argues that these groups or tribes will change the world in the age of the internet because it is so easy for us to connect to others, make a tribe, and lead a movement. Consider how this idea of finding your tribe might influence you as you continue to develop your identity.

Step 1: Watch the TedTalk

Watch Seth Godins TedTalk from 6:50 to 14:18.

Step 2: Answer QuestionsQuestion 1

Describe models of primary groups, secondary groups, formal groups, informal groups, and reference groups. What are some examples of tribes from the TedTalk that provide models of these types of groups?

Question 2

Describe e-communities. How does Godin describe the impact of e-communities on finding your tribe?

Question 3

How would a sociologist analyze tribes (groups) in terms of status? Are tribes in-groups or out-groups?

Question 4

How does Godin analyze tribes or groups in terms of values and mores? In other words, how do tribes come together based on their values and mores?

Question 5

How does Godin analyze tribes or groups in terms of membership roles? In other words, how do tribes come together based on leadership and membership?

Question 6

Analyze tribes or groups in terms of role conflicts and methods of resolution. In other words, how might people in tribes experience role conflict? How do you think tribes come to resolutions when facing disagreements?

In the digital age, mass media dramatically shapes society. From a young age, many American children have access to pop culture and other trends through social media. But even before social media and the internet, mass media impacted American society, influencing social trends and schools of thought. Changes in mass media throughout the decades are worth studying as many of them have had lasting effects on society.

Step 1: Research the History of Mass Media

Research the major developments in the history of mass media in the United States. In your research, identify the different periods where print media, electronic media, and digital media reigned supreme. In your research, find out how each form of media came about and identify two major societal impacts these forms of media had during the time they had the most influence.

Step 2: Create a Timeline

Create a timeline of your research. Your timeline should include:

• The date each type of media was developed (print, electronic, digital)
• The dates that each media development was most popular in the United States
• Six major social impacts of these forms of media on American society

You may make your timeline in word processing software, using graphic design software, on a poster, or using another method of your choice.

Step 3: Analyze Your Research from a Sociological Perspective

Analyze the developments in mass media you identified from a sociological perspective. Answer each of the following questions in one or two sentences using word processing software. You may need to do further research to answer the questions.

1. Explain the differences between the functionalist and conflict perspectives on the developments in mass media in the United States.
2. Examine how contemporary mass media issuesbias, false information, privacy, and/or inequalityare made more prominent by digital media versus other forms of mass media.

Question 1

Identify and describe the five different types of societies that exist in the world today. Explain the evolution of one society from another to differentiate the types of societies. In other words, how do societies evolve from one type to the next?

Question 2

Define these four different types of government: monarchy, democracy, authoritarianism, and totalitarianism. Differentiate between the level of freedom and level of citizen participation among these different types of government. Discuss the impact of each government on its citizens. Trace the participation of different citizen groups through time. How has a lack of freedom impacted citizens living under different governments in the past and present?

Question 3

Explain the ways that the functionalist, conflict, and social interactionist theories within sociology might view education. Provide a real-life example that supports each theory.

Question 4

Define the economic models of socialism and free enterprise. Differentiate between these two models and how they impact society. How are societies that use the two economic models different?

Question 5

Based on the trends in data on American families from 1970 to 2000, a sociologist states that they anticipate a 15 percent decrease in nuclear families by 2030. Given the decrease in nuclear families depicted on the graph, do you think the sociologist is correct? Why or why not? Use this sociologists mathematical reasoning to analyze the trends in American society regarding family life, estimating the increase in singles and other family structures by 2030. (File attached)

Each student will need to find a minimum of 4 scholarly sources about your topic, preferably from sociology, anthropology, or criminology journals or academic books. You will use these sources to write an annotated bibliography that summarizes the research problem, theoretical approach, methodology, and key findings of each source. The goal is to provide enough information that you do not need to re-read the article to use it as a source. These bibliographies will be used to construct your literature review. I recommend each student take a specific set of search terms or a specific area of literature relevant to your project. What is an acceptable scholarly source in this class? (Topic is: The impact of anonymous social media (specifically Fizz) on college student communication, behavior, and campus culture) 1. Peer-reviewed journals and books sources written and reviewed by experts in the fields of sociology, anthropology, or other social sciences. If it is not clear whether the source is peer-reviewed, check with me. 2. Certain federal and private research organizations may publish relevant research. 3. Most of your sources should be empirical studies (data is collected), and some should be qualitative research specifically. Theoretical sources (summarize and push theoretical debates) and review articles (summarize and analyze all major research on a topic) are acceptable, but should not be the only sources used. What is not an acceptable scholarly source? 1. Wikipedia, dictionary and encyclopedia websites, newspaper articles, and most other online sources (for the love of god, no A.I.). These may link to acceptable sources. 2. Textbooks, though these are great sources to point you toward acceptable sources. 3. Certain behavioral science sources (psychology, economics, family & consumer science, etc.) may be acceptable, but many are not appropriate. Check with me. Building your Annotated bibliography 1. Using your research proposal and concept map, identify the topics, key phrases, concepts, and other searchable terms that you will need to research. Divide up responsibilities among your group members to focus on specific important areas. 2. Provide a full reference for each source using ASA style. I will provided a guide for ASA style on Blackboard. 3. Underneath each separate reference, you will write a 1-3 paragraph annotation of the source (separate pages for each source recommended). Again, the goal is to provide the group member writing the literature review with enough detail that they do not need to read every source themselves. It may be best to use separate pages for each annotation. Your annotation should identify the following for EACH source: a. Summarize the overall argument of the source. b. Identify key concepts/theories that are used to help explain the research. c. Describe the research design, including: (1). A description of the sample or case study chosen; (2) the specific research techniques; (3) other relevant details. d. The major findings and conclusions of the research. e. Identify key quotes and include in-text citations with page numbers. f. How your project will use, build upon, or critique this research.

What am I like this?

Objective:

You will critically examine the processes of socialization that have influenced your

development and identity. You will reflect on the agents of socialization (family, peers,

education, media, etc.) and analyze how these influences have shaped your beliefs,

behaviors, and sense of self.

Assignment Guidelines:

1. Introduction:

o Begin with a brief overview of socialization, defining the concept and its

importance in shaping individuals.

o State the purpose of the paper: to analyze the factors and experiences that

have contributed to your personal identity and explain why you are the

way you are.

2. Body:

o A. Agents of Socialization:

Family: Reflect on the role your family has played in your

socialization. Consider values, traditions, parenting styles, and

familial expectations. How have these shaped your personality,

beliefs, and behaviors?

Peers: Discuss how your friendships and peer groups have

influenced you. Think about peer pressure, group norms, and the

social dynamics within your friendships. How have these

relationships affected your identity?

Education: Analyze the impact of your educational experiences,

including the influence of teachers, the school environment, and

academic expectations. How has education shaped your worldview,

aspirations, and sense of self?

Media: Consider the role of media (social media, television, music,

etc.) in your socialization. How has media exposure influenced your

perceptions, interests, and attitudes?

Other Influences: Include any other significant agents of

socialization that have impacted you, such as religion, work, or

community involvement.

o B. Critical Analysis:

Identify specific experiences or events that were particularly

formative in your socialization. How did these experiences reinforce

or challenge the norms and values you were exposed to?

Discuss any conflicts or contradictions in your socialization. For

example, how have you navigated conflicting values between

different agents of socialization (e.g., family vs. peers)? Reflect on the concept of “resocialization.” Have there been

instances where you had to adapt to new norms or values that

differed from those you were originally socialized into?

3. Conclusion:

o Summarize the key points discussed in the paper.

o Reflect on how your socialization continues to influence your current

identity and behavior. Consider how ongoing socialization may shape your

future self.

o Conclude with a personal statement on the significance of understanding

socialization in the context of personal development and identity

formation.

Paper Requirements:

Length: 3-5 pages, double-spaced

Format: Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins

Grading Criteria:

Depth of Analysis: How well do you examine the influences of socialization on

your identity? Are you able to critically analyze these influences?

Personal Reflection: How deeply do you reflect on your experiences and how

they have shaped who you are?

Use of Sociological Concepts: How effectively do you integrate sociological

theories and concepts into your analysis?

Organization and Clarity: Is the paper well-organized, with clear arguments

and coherent structure?

Writing Quality: Is the writing clear, concise, and free of grammatical errors?

Are the citations properly formatted?

1. Identify three to six articles from the library search. List the titles below. You will write the annotations later.

2. Google / Report Search (AI Use Allowed):

You will also conduct a general Google search (or another search engine) to find recent research reports from reputable research institutes about your topic.

Examples of reputable institutes include:

• Brookings Institution
• Pew Research Center
• Urban Institute
• Cato Institute

If you are unsure whether a source is reputable, email me before using it.

Next

• Brainstorm effective Google search terms
• Identify reputable research institutes related to your topic
• Summarize what kind of information a report provides

You may not copy and paste AI-generated annotations or summaries into your assignment.

Identify six research reports from reputable research institutes. List the titles below. You will write annotations next.

3. Create an annotated bibliography

Create Your Annotated Bibliography five (5) sources total (journal articles and/or research reports). I have provided links to help you create annotated bibliographic entries. Go back and view them. Each entry starts with a full APA citation. Then you will create an annotation that helps you quickly recall what the article or report is about by considering the questions below. The annotation you write should be about 100 words each. Do not use AI to write your annotations. You write them for you. I will go back through these, even though you will receive an instant grade based on word count. I can change the grade if I look at it and think it is too surface-level. Engage with the topic you have chosen by exploring the importance of the articles you choose.

• Use APA citation style
• Write in complete sentences
• Your annotations are for youto help you understand the research and think sociologically about your issue

Each annotation should address:

• What aspect of the issue does the article or report examines
• Whether it focuses on scope, lived experience, policy, or programs
• How the source is useful for writing an op-ed, bog, or educating others
• The main conclusions or recommendations of the research
• Important facts or figures you might use later
• Whether you agree with the authors suggested next steps, and why or why not

I have done the assignment I need to re write it. Please use simple words noting crazy below I will attach the work I have done please re write it I also used the book social problems sociology in action 2nd edition ( MLA formatting) make sure to space it out like I did for each article
