  SOC 100 – Assignment 1.1: Topic Selection and Thesis Statement (Cloning)

  $3.00

  Consider a social issue in which you are interested. It could be human freedom, sexuality, deviance, crime, social mobility, poverty, education, aging, and similar issues. Select a specific social issue to investigate in this assignment. In this assignment, you will begin your exploration by developing a thesis statement. A thesis statement is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The body of the essay organizes the material you gathered and outlined that you present as your argument in support of your claims. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. (Note: Students please consult Stanford University’s Website with tips on how to construct a proper thesis, the Web page can be found at: http://www.stanford.edu/~steener/handouts/thesis.htm.)

  Write a thesis statement that is one to two (1-2) sentences long in which you:

  1. Describe the topic you have selected.
  2. Identify the sociological significance of the subject matter.
  3. Develop a thesis statement that supports your stance on the topic and directly answers the position you pose with your topic.
  4. Speculate on opposing views of the sociological significance of your topic.
  5. Determine a counter argument based on your topic and justify your response.
  6. Use three (3) credible sources and APA citations where appropriate.

  Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

  HUM112 Assignment 1: Essay

  $3.00

  Assignment 1: Essay Due Week 4 and worth 100 points
  Choose one (1) of the three reading selections from the list of topic choices below. Read the selection in the textbook. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (250 words) which analyzes the “surprise ending” of the reading selection.
  Topic Choices:

  • Reading selection from Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (Part IV). Descartes begins with the problem of being able to prove his own existence but ends up with an argument proving the existence of God. Read more about the Discourse on the Method located at http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/authors/descartes.html.
  • Reading selection from Swift’s A Modest Proposal. Swift begins with offering the solution that the English could do things which might solve the problem of overpopulation and the mistreatment of citizens in Ireland. It ends by offering the solution that an internal change in the Irish government would best solve the problem of overpopulation and a populace victimized by its own government. Read more about A Modest Proposal located at http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/modest.html.
  • Two reading selections from Voltaire’s Candide. The story begins by acknowledging the foolishness of the superstitious traditions held by the people in the city of Lisbon but ends by confirming Voltaire’s belief that religion in general is equally based in false superstitions.

  For the reading selection you choose:

  1. Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Identify the point in the reading when you realized that the ending would be different from what the beginning of the reading suggested that it would be.

  2. Since you were expecting a different ending, evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was not clearly suggested at the beginning.
  Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. (Note: Students can find APA style materials located in the course shell for reference)
  • Include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

  Cowley, M. (2000). The view from eighty. In D. N. Sattler & V. Shabatay (Eds.), Psychology in context: Voices and perspectives (2nd ed., pp. 156-159). Boston, MA: Houghton-Mifflin.

  Question One (4 marks)

  A common stereotype of aging involves the decline of an individual’s abilities and prospects as they settle into ‘old age’. However, older individuals are generally noted as being better at the regulation of negative feelings, and are more capable of focusing on the positive parts of their life.

  Does Cowley’s recollection in the chapter The view from eighty conform to this understanding of older adults?

  Which stage of Erikson’s psychosocial development theory would be most relevant to Cowley’s example?

  Provide a relevant example for each question from the chapter to support your answers.

  Recommended sources of information for this question: introductory psychology textbooks, developmental psychology textbooks, and journal articles.

  Question Two (4 marks)

  While physical changes are outwardly apparent for older individuals, cognitive and social changes are also important to consider when examining development at this later stage of adult life.

  Discuss the importance of social and cognitive changes in this part of adulthood, providing examples of each from Cowley’s recollection to support your answer.

  Recommended sources of information for this question: introductory psychology textbooks, developmental psychology textbooks, and journal articles.

  Question Three (7 Marks)

  Use the Library Catalogue to find a journal article (published 2005+) that reports on a piece of original research regarding a factor or factors related to ‘positive ageing’. Summarise the study aims, and explain in your own words what the key findings of the study were.

  How might these findings related to positive ageing be applied in an everyday context for older individuals?

  Note:

  •  An original research study will have a Participants, Method and Results section. It involves the collection of some form of data. A review article, meta-analysis, or theoretical article is NOT appropriate for this question. Try to choose an article that you can make sense of, as you will need to paraphrase the aims / findings of the study as part of your answer.
  •  Any example of a characteristic or human behaviour that is measurable is appropriate. Examples of characteristics / behaviours might include life satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, self-esteem, cognitive functioning, moral reasoning, or many others.

  Referencing (5 marks)

  •  Appropriate paraphrasing
  •  Correct in text citations for material from published sources
  •  Correct acknowledgement of direct quotes
  •  Reference list is complete and in APA format
