Content Options: Select and use the assigned Durkheimian, Weberian, or foundational feminist theory to analyze the current pandemic and/or public health crisis. Another option is that you may pick two of these three sociological theory traditions and compare and contrast their insights when applied to the topic of pandemic and public health. Use the assigned readings and intros in the Kimmel course textbook as your only or main source for theory in this theory course. For the current topic, use credible sources (unless you're doing a study of, say, fearmongering in social media. Such non-credible sources will be used as data, rather than credible authority.) 

Here is the Sociology guide (courtesy of the Sociology librarian) on how to research and find credible sources for Sociology: https://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/sociology. I don't care which professional citation style you use, though you must use it consistently; but my favorite style is ASA: https://www.asanet.org/sites/default/files/savvy/documents/teaching/pdfs/Quick_Tips_for_ASA_Style.pdf. Here is a writing guide for Sociology: https://sociology.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/documents/student_services/writing_guide/Writing for Sociology Guide Second Edition.pdf You will be graded on your writing (in the paper option) and logic quality, your proper use of and literacy with the assigned sociological theory, and your sociological approach to the topic.

Global Housing Research Paper- For this assignment you will be assigned a country to research and report on. To complete your research paper, use articles that you have found on your own. They should be different than those uploaded to Beachboard.  You can use journal articles, trade publications, online resources, and any other resources related to the topic and develop a paper that summarizes, analyzes, discusses, and compares and contrasts information from your research. Your paper should be at least 5 pages of double-spaced text (1500 words minimum excluding coversheet, illustrations, and references). You should submit your paper online through Beachboard by the scheduled due date. Make sure your paper’s Turnitin Similarity Score is less than 15%. Use APA in citing your sources and reference list.


Please include a cover sheet with your paper, identify the title of your paper (can be more specific than the topic), and include a line of text indicating the total word count in the paper (excluding your citations list). Use the ''word count" feature in MS Word or your word-processing software to calculate the number of words; don't count them by hand. Listed below are suggested steps for completing your research project.





Step 1: See what country you have been assigned.


Step 2: Read some of the articles on BeachBoard devoted to your topic. Use the library and other resources (including the text) to further research your topic. You can use a variety of articles from journals, trade publications, and other resources. Remember that the best information usually comes from scholarly works published in peer-reviewed journals. Any materials you find should be published after the year 2000, unless there are historical and/or comparative reasons for using older works. Some materials are "classics" and using older publications because they are classics is permitted. This "published after the year 2000" is not a mandatory requirement and will not negatively affect your grade; however the best materials are usually recent.


Step 3: Start working on your paper, perhaps using the guidelines as follows:
Identify the problem/issue/concept of your topic. In other words, what overall issue(s) are addressed in the resources you read about your topic? Include information about why it's important to study this topic.
Delineate the problem/issue/concept. In other words, say more about the topic (for example, cite statistics about the topic and who it affects and why). What do other people say about your topic?
Identify additional aspects (features) of the topic, which may be related to the materials that you have read. Think outside the box. Are there interesting, compelling, obscure, or unusual aspects related to your topic? Including this information would help make your paper more interesting.
Develop your own synthesis, discussion, and conclusions. In this section, write about what you think about the topic and why. Are the conclusions of the materials you read sound? Do you agree or disagree with the journals and other articles you read? Or, is there some doubt about what you read? Include any assumptions or inferences from what you read.
Please try NOT to use first or second person in your paper. In other words, don't use the word "I" or the word "you" in your paper unless it's necessary. If you can't help using first or second person in your paper because you are relating the material in the articles to your own experience or opinions, that's okay. But please limit the words "I" and "you" as much as possible.
Think about developing a section devoted to "Further Research." In other words, indicate what additional research might be conducted by others to gain more knowledge about the topic that was not provided in the articles you read. What else needs to be done about the problem/topic/issue? Did the materials you read include enough information? Did the author(s) reach the correct conclusions?  Do you trust the articles? What about the credibility of the sources you found and used? Are conclusions from the articles valid and reliable? Why or why not?
Include a References Cited section at the end of your paper. Use American
Psychological Association (APA) style in both the text of your paper and in the References Cited. Do not include any references in this section that were not "cited" in your paper.
Use at least five (5) different references, such as references from a peer­ reviewed journal, one reference from a trade publication, one reference from a newspaper, etc. You should be referencing at least one peer-reviewed journal article in your paper. The rest of your references can be from any legitimate source. How many times you cite each source is up to you.
Submit your paper online through Beachboard by deadline. Your paper will be reviewed using the University's plagiarism detection service. Plagiarize papers will result in a grade of "F" in the course with no opportunity for resubmission. Please do not plagiarize.
Make sure that your research paper is something of which you can be very proud. Being able to write well is a skill that will serve you well for the rest of your life. Being a good writer will earn you professional success, respect, and admiration from your peers. It will help you in your career and it will make you a sought-after team member in all of your endeavors.

1. For this assignment, you will break a folkway or social norm in front of 3 different groups of people (they can be family, friends, and/or strangers). It is important that you perform this norm-breaking exercise at 3 different times and/or in front of 3 different groups of people. Take notes of how others respond to your behavior (you can just take mental notes or write them down on a pad of paper). The goal is to examine the different responses you get from different audiences in different social contexts. The more different the audience or the locale, the more varied the responses. Plan your experiment with an eye towards assessing the impact of different social contexts and different social audiences in the responses you observe to your deviance. Do not engage in any act which is widely seen as immoral, illegal, or could potentially get you arrested!
   
   ii. You will then write-up your findings in a short essay. Your essay should be in 3 parts:
   
   1. Explanation of your behavior, the norm broken, and social context where you broke the norm/folkway,
   
   2. Recollection of how others responded to your behavior,
   
   3. Significance for the study of deviance and connections to course material.
   iii. Your paper should be 3 pages, double-space, and should include at least 3 citations. 
   
   iiii.
