Question 1
Inequities occur in schools at all levels of education, and these can happen through the curriculum, teacher pedagogies, education policies and schooling practices. By focusing on one of the above topics, discuss how education can contribute to schooling inequities. What are the ramifications of these on students, teachers, and schools? Draw on theoretical concepts used in subject TEAC7032 (Social Justice and Schooling) in your discussion. 

This assignment requires you to write a research paper of approximately 3000 words on a topic that explores a key issue in business and society in a changing world. Your paper should examine a problem or controversy that raises policy or governance questions related to one of the two topic areas described in section II below.
The list of topic areas below provides general guidance, but you are expected to further define the research question and line of inquiry that will form the basis of your paper. While you should use the relevant course readings please be advised that the key goal of this assignment is to utilize outside research materials – primarily scholarly articles and books – to develop your proposal and bibliography and eventually your final paper.
In the case of both topic areas A and B, several possible specific sub-topics are indicated. You may include multiple sub-topics where it allows you to address the research question you have formulated.
A. The Climate Crisis. Discuss the social, economic, ethical and/or political challenges related to the climate crisis. Your paper may address one or more of the following questions:
To what degree will dealing with the climate crisis require new business and policy models?
What are the prospects and obstacles for making the necessary social and economic adjustments?
1
Are the best models for change also consistent with economic growth or do they require consideration of structural changes such as “post-growth pathways,” as Hickel argues?
What are the political constraints and conditions for developing effective approaches to the climate crisis?
B. The Digital Platform Economy: Social and Regulatory Challenges. Many of the “corporate transformations” in the early 21st century have been linked to the rise of digital platforms, which have brought innovations and convenience to our lives, but have also raised concerns and controversies about their social and economic impact. Among the examples that have been featured in this course are:
Targeted advertising.
Changes to our news and information ecosystem.
Challenges for workers as a result of new technologies and the rise of digital
labour and service platforms.
Taking one or more of these areas of digital economy transformation, analyze and explain what, if any, aspects have become controversial and the possible issues of regulation or reform.

SOC 3393 Final Exam Answer four questions: you MUST answer ONE question from Section A, TWO questions from Section B, and ONE question from Section C.
In total you must write four essays (minimum of 8 pages, total). Your answer for each should consist of an application essay that demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of the sociological traditions and related readings, your ability to think critically about them, and your ability to apply them properly to each question. You must cite directly from the course readings to prove your answers – using only the class lecture notes will result in a failing grade. As with the final paper, this exam will be submitted to SafeAssign by the professor prior to grading.
SECTION A
1. What influence did philosophy have on the Durkheimian tradition and the micro-interactionist tradition? Examine how the history of these traditions evolved from other disciplines, and what concepts from previous discipline informed the key theorists, and allowed them to built their own research and traditions.
2. Compare the micro-interactionist tradition to any of the previous macro-traditions (conflict, rational/utilitarian, Durkheimian). What is the micro-interactionist critique of the macro approach? What concepts do you identify as the strongest/weakest from these theorists? What theorists do you think does the best job of bridging these two ways of studying the micro- and macro-worlds?
SECTION B
3. Examine Durkheim’s claim that social density contributes to (or detracts from) the moral unity of society. How convincing is Durkheim’s explanation of social bonds and social solidarity on the “health” (physical, emotional, mental, moral) of a society? What other theorists from our readings give the strongest support to Durkheim’s ideas, in your view?
4. Discuss Addams’, DuBois’, and Freud’s critical contributions to sociology. Elaborate on your answer using their research, concepts, and theoretical approaches. How, in your view, did they expand the focus of classical sociological theory?
5. Discuss Cooley’s, Mead’s, and Blumer’s theories on the development of the “self”. How do their theories relate back to concepts from previous macro traditions (Durkheimian, conflict, rational/utilitarian)? Which theorist do you consider as having the strongest theory on the “self”?
SECTION C
6. Examine how Addams’ and DuBois set a standard for American sociology. What made their works unique, and how did these works reflect the specific conditions within the U.S.? What challenges to traditional perspectives did they present? How do their theories relate back to concepts from other classical traditions (Durkheimian, conflict, rational/utilitarian, microinteractionist)? 7. How did other academic disciplines (economics, anthropology, history, etc.) and scientific rigor influence the works of Durkheim, Marx, Weber, and the microinteractionist tradition? Give specific examples of this influence to highlight your argument.

r the final paper, you will write a 5-6 page essay (double-spaced, 11 pt calibri font) on a social problem of your choice (i.e. aging in society, racism, economic inequality, poverty, etc.). In your essay you will:
Identify the causes, history, and context of your chosen social problem
Elaborate how your social problem effects society
Predict what your social problem will look like in the future if it is not solved/addressed
Offer some potential solutions to your social problem

(1) Summarize the ideas of one or more sociological theorists, and (2) apply their theories in an original analysis of a contemporary phenomenon – like an event, social institution, pattern of social interaction, or any other example. In other words, show how the ideas of theorists like Durkheim, Weber, Marx or others might still be relevant and applicable to the study of contemporary society. At least one academic source on the theorist is required (beyond class notes and our two texts); Internet sources used must clearly be from academic sources.The paper should be double-spaced, and at least six pages long. Paper must be in your own words; material taken directly from another text must be quoted.

Sociology 1 Paper 2: My Playing Field Application and Analysis
Instructions For Paper 2
The assignment is to apply the course material to your specific playing field/your life and analyze your playing field/life from a sociological perspective. Make sure you have reviewed your notes from the online lecture titled “The Family” as the concept “playing field” is introduced in that lecture and that you understand the concept “playing field” before you begin this assignment (review online Family lecture).
The assignment is to discuss three main characteristics of your playing field and explain how each has affected you. You are required to include family as one of your main topics and must choose from the following main topics for your other two main topics: gender, social class, education, race and ethnicity, or religion. Your paper must include one very lengthy paragraph for each of the three main topics you have chosen.
You will apply the course material and subtopics covered in the course materials on each main topic to examples of your specific playing field and your specific experiences; directly relate the material and subtopics presented in the course material on each main topic to your specific experiences. Each main topic section must include at least six subtopics. In terms of subtopics, each of the topics covered in the lectures, chapters in the textbook, assigned articles, and films/film clips for each main topic are considered subtopics. For example some of the subtopics associated with the main topic gender are: gender socialization, gender role expectations, gender inequality, patriarchy, pay gap (data), glass ceiling, male privilege, glass escalator, second shift, gendered division of labor, gender and the media/Kilbourne research, feminization of poverty, feminism, etc. You are required to discuss your specific experiences on each of the subtopics you include in your paper, directly apply the material. You must apply the terms/concepts, research data/findings, and social theories related to the main topics to your playing field/your experiences. Go through the chapters in the textbook, online lectures, and articles/other course material provided in the lessons on each of the main topics you are including in your paper and apply the relevant material to your playing field/your experiences (this is the way you will go about working on this assignment). It is required that you utilize the online lectures material, textbook material, and articles/other course material for each main topics included in your paper.
A minimum of six instances of application of terms/concepts/research data is required in each main topic section (application of the material with each subtopic); a minimum of eighteen instances of application of terms/concepts/research data throughout your paper. Clear and complete application and analysis required. In some instances a subtopic is a key term (for instance, patriarchy is a subtopic and a key term), in other instances this is not the case (divorce is a subtopic for a family section, however, it is a common word, not a key term…you would need to apply the research data on divorce – causes and effects – to be considered application).
It is also required that you apply a minimum of one social theory in each main topic section; a minimum of three social theories are required throughout your paper. It is required that you utilize at least three different theories throughout your paper and that at least one of the theories included is one of our three main theories. Apply the social theories presented in the course material: structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, social learning theory, or theories of deviance. Theories must be directly applied to your specific playing field/experiences. Do not discuss the theories in general, directly apply them to your playing field and your experiences and explain application. Explain the theory and explain application. Social theory can be applied to a specific example or can be applied to the overall theme of the main topic section. Clear and complete application and analysis is required.
In some instances students will need to predict the long term effects of particular experiences, predict according to the research data/findings on the topics. In terms of predictions ask yourself, how, according to the data presented in the course, the events have affected you or will affect you in the future. If the effects presented in the research/study findings for a particular issue do not apply to you then you can state what the effects generally are (according to the research data/findings) and then discuss what the outcome(s) were for you and explain why.
It is not required that you include sensitive issues if you are not comfortable doing so. In this case it is suggested that you focus on other aspects of your playing field.
