Final Project Research Essay -----As a culmination of your work in this class, you will analyze a contemporary (current) issue/social problem and how social inequality plays a role. Once you have made a topic selection, find a related media source from https://www.ted.com/talks (Links to an external site.) or a podcast from https://www.npr.org/podcasts/ (Links to an external site.) to use as a point of initial reference. Then, you will analyze, compare and/or contrast your chosen issue using at least two (2) sociological perspectives from this course (structuralism, conflict, symbolic interactionism, feminism).
This essay should be no longer than 3-4 pages, double spaced, 12-font, and Times New Roman and set 1” margins for top/bottom/left/right. All films, books, peer-reviewed articles, documentaries, podcasts and course materials must be referenced on the reference or bibliography page and cited within the essay text when referred to using proper ASA, APA or MLA formatting. I require the use of a title page, running head, pagination, in-text citations and a reference page that includes the course text. Once you have selected your topic and media reference, you will begin to organize your essay by addressing the following:
Brief introduction of your topic, a statement of the problem/issue and why it is relevant for this course. Why is this topic important to you and relevant to a sociology course? Provide a brief overview of the history of the topic including relevant people, places, events, policies, statistics, etc… Discuss the current status of the topic, interesting statistics, and include which theories from this class (Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, Symbolic Interactionist Theory or Feminist Theory) have strong contributions to this topic. Summarize with brief thoughts on where this topic/issue/social problem is going. Support this summary with your sociological knowledge learned during this course and include course concepts such as social inequality, social stratification, ethnocentrism, racism and discrimination. Integrate key terms and concepts from the course material and always use proper references in ASA, APA or MLA format. This is a professional college essay and you should not use “I” or first person throughout your paper, with the exception of recommendations in the conclusion section. The paper must reflect a proper sociological approach and therefore you should not write opinions as to the right or wrong nature of your topic. Your work should be more of an academic examination of the various sociological positions of your topic. However, you may include your sociological opinion in the conclusion.
Technical Guidelines for writing assignments:
The essay should flow and make logical sense with the use of proper transitions and the grouping of similar concepts. This will strengthen your essay. You will be graded on grammar, form and organization. You must include your name in the upper right corner of the first page. You do not need to include an abstract. Please include a title-page and a reference page. If you use an idea that is not your own, you must reference in ASA, APA or MLA Style. Using someone else’s work or ideas that are not your own is plagiarism and is a violation of College policy. Late assignments are not recommended and points may be deducted for late submissions. Name your attachment to coincide with the assignment. However, do not use symbols, instead use only letter and/or numbers (FinalEssay) or (CourseEval) or (ExtraCredit). If I cannot open a submission, I will contact you or the assignment could be assigned a Zero. Submitting early can help avoid this. Be sure to only use Microsoft Word or PDF – no other formats are accepted. Save all your course work to a hard drive, a flash drive, cloud, Google or in email storage. This will ensure that you have a record of all your work in case there are any computer issues. I practice these precautions too!

Respond to two colleague's post by suggesting two alternative methods for measuring their phenomenon. Explain why your suggestions have value. Please use the resources to support your answer
Colleague 1 Identify the phenomenon you would measure and explain how you conceptualize this phenomenon.
The impact of older adults receiving intervention for their suffering from the ills of ageism.
I conceptualized this phenomenon by choosing the variables I would measure.
1.The two variables are, (the impact of receiving intervention or not receiving intervention) & 2. Their (suffering or not suffering from the ills of ageism).
The older adults who receive social work intervention for ageism, will be more productive in society then those older adults who don’t receive intervention.
Provide at least 3 questions you would use to measure this phenomenon and explain how these questions operationalize the phenomenon.
What interventions are utilized by social workers to prevent the impact of societal ageism for this fast-growing population of older adults? What changes will occur in society when large numbers of older adults receive the intervention needed for empowerment to combat the barriers of ageism? How can the social worker motivate 200 older adults, to participate and complete questionnaire’s pertaining to their demographic location, mental health condition, economic status, and physical health condition for study on ageism?
Define reliability in 2-3 sentences and give one example of how you would establish reliability for the questions you created.
It’s important that while the researcher is doing a study, the test or tool being used formulates similar results, consistently, during diverse situations, because if the results are not consistent under various conditions it will be of just about no use (Yegidis, Weinbach & Myers, 2019, p. 236).
When I conduct my research with structure and accuracy, I will utilize pretest or questionnaires more than once to show reliability (Yegidis, Weinbach & Myers, 2019, p. 231).
Define validity in 2-3 sentences and give one example of how you would establish validity for the questions you created.
The validity is about accuracy of a research or test, I have to make sure my instruments which are pre-test and post-test for the independent variable creates the same results for what it claims to measure for validity, no matter the amount of trials (Yegidis, Weinbach & Myers, 2019, p. 237).
I will be able to show validity for my research by creating a culturally sensitive questionnaire geared for the older adult population, about ageism and the barriers it causes.
Create a measurement plan to assess the phenomenon. Describe the methodology you would use to collect data using your measurement tool (your method for acquiring this research data). Explain the advantages and disadvantages of your choices.
To create my measurement plan I have to choose a sample from a quantitative research participant, I will present data as pre-test, post- test and a questionnaire for extra data, because this is research for older adults, I want it to be structured with accurate measurements. The advantage is that I will help this population regain empowerment to be productive in society and curb ageism, the disadvantage is that some older adults are not always available or consistent for the best results because of adversities and barriers.

Colleague 2
COLLAPSE Working in the field I’ve encountered various emotions from my clients due to their mental and physical diagnoses, but we work hard to encourage them to not let their diagnoses define “who they are”. The phenomenon I would measure would be anger because it’s often their first reaction and is often projected towards their parents and/or staff members. To conceptualize anger, I would breakdown the dynamics of what triggers this emotion, understand why it’s often displayed, and why do they often project anger towards parents and staff. Before engaging with the client it’s best to allow them time and space to calm down and get a clear understanding as to what happened. The three questions I would utilize are the following:
What caused you to become angry and why? Why do you instantly project your anger towards those who are only trying to help? What can you do to prevent this problem rather than choosing to act out in anger? I feel that the questions asked can help gain clarity on what causes the person to react the way that they do and potentially help to develop positive ways for them to express themselves and get the help that they may need. Often times anger is triggered from another emotion that a person is unable to control or understand. “Reliability refers to how consistently a method measures something” (Middleton, 2019). “If the same result can be consistently achieved by using the same methods under the same circumstances, the measurement is considered reliable” (Middleton, 2019). I’ll check the reliability by using the test-retest method to check the consistency patterns with each question asked. “The validity of a measurement can be estimated based on three main types of evidence” (Middleton, 2019). “Each type can be evaluated through expert judgement or statistical methods” (Middleton, 2019). Utilizing a standardized questionnaire can establish validity to gain a perspective of the common triggers of anger amongst clients. By using standardized consistent questionnaires, I can understand what causes certain reactions and why. I’m able to gain understanding of the specific group of individuals to help develop coping mechanisms. The advantage of the questionnaire would be that we would have a direct cause and effect of the client’s actions to trigger points and ways to prevent it. Disadvantages would be if the client is unable to explain why they become angry or chooses to answer incorrectly.
