In text citations are necessary! There should be at least one in text citation per paragraph. If you state a fact you need to cite where you got that information. Lack of citations means several points off.
Two: You should try to write at least a page per theoretical concept such as Conflict theory; and what I mean is defining via paraphrasing and then explaining the theory in detail including (if you are using Marx) the ten to fifteen terms (definitions and explanation of those terms). Since you need 5 pages of sociology that would be five theoretical pages (or less if you take more than one page to write).
If you can’t write one page just on conflict theory, (or functionalism, symbolic interaction, feminist, etc) then you are going to need between 20 to 30 sociological concepts (and their sub terms) to discuss. This is a research paper so do some research. Use the text. The text gives all kinds of theories per chapter and many in detail (as much as two pages). If you don’t have five pages dedicated to introducing concepts, defining them, and explaining them, points will be taken away. (this is not an opinion or reflection paper so make sure to include lots of sociological terms.
Last race, class, gender, poverty and class, etc are things we study not sociological terms. Sociological terms and theories try to explain why there is racism, classism, poverty, etc. So while you need to explain things we study, the bulk of the paper should be sociological terms explaining why these issues exist.
Remember this is a sociology course, so do not write about psychology or philosophy theories concepts (unless the text book talks about them.

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.
