  5. Do you think that Buddhism has changed since the time of Sakyamuni Buddha Gautama? Why?
  6. How did yin–yang and social harmony become a crucial religious ethics among Confucians and Taoists?
  7. How have Chinese religious traditions tried to “modernize” themselves?

  What do you think of the notion that a woman of today makes a choice

  $15.00

  The Role of a Woman

  Your essay should be understood as an extended form of a reflection paper. I am looking for you to provide a reflective engagement with the question that demonstrates not a quickly derived answer but rather demonstrates a consideration of the question as something that is pertinent to yourself and your life. What matters in this assignment is not your answer to the question but how you got to your answer. No research is required. Be Bold and clear in your thought.

  QUESTION: What do you think of the notion that a woman of today makes a choice, if she is able, between going to work and staying at home with her children? Is the fact that this is presented to woman as their choice already demanding certain things of women that are not demanded in the same way of men? If so, does this suggest that the notion that this is the choice of a women already a pressure and a playing of a role?

  How does our society through its many and often opposed voices, try to influence this decision for the individual woman? What is the connection to be found that unifies all these different voices and opinions and how does the fact that so many people have something to say about it speak to you about the ways we understand women in our society?

  Why the confrontation between “land is sacred” with “manifest destiny” might best be understood as a religious conflict of competing cosmologies

  $5.00

  Using the following links as suggestive leads, learn more about Wyoming’s Sacred Lands by focusing on three sites found in Northwest Wyoming: Bear’s Den, Medicine Wheel, and Medicine Lodge. Choose at least one of the sites, conduct additional research if needed, and compose a thoughtful discussion post.
  Contemplate why the confrontation between “land is sacred” with “manifest destiny” might best be understood as a religious conflict of competing cosmologies. If so, does that mean that “property”–the Western designation of land as a commodity that can be owned–is sacred to the cosmology of the conquering, settler traditions?

  FINAL RESEARCH PAPER – Gender and Career Choice

  $65.00

  HW7: FINAL RESEARCH PAPER – Gender and Career Choice

  As part of the academic rigor in this course, you will be expected to write a 12-17 page paper (page count not including cover page, references, etc). It will be the culmination of the term giving you an opportunity to engage sociology as a tool to explore a topic & specific research question relevant to you, and at least 15 sources (12 of which must be peer-reviewed research articles).

  The purpose of the paper is for you to be able to explore a topic of interest to you from a sociological perspective. To do so, you must accomplish the following:

  * Clearly state your thesis/research question and how it is significant to the study of society

  * Select a minimum of 12 peer reviewed articles and 3 other sources which will permit you to explore and evaluate sociological research and perspectives on your thesis/question –
  – discussion of each article should include noting how the article addresses/answers your research question; the article’s main research question/thesis; primary theoretical perspective used; sample size and composition; methodology and analysis used; brief summary of findings

  – the best discussion will be formatted by themes comparing and contrasting articles (i.e. phrasing of question, methodology used, measurement of variables, size and composition of sample, findings, etc.)

  * Be sure key concepts in your paper are defined (conceptual and operational definitions) and cited using sources such as past sociology texts and peer-reviewed articles

  * Employ appropriate use of APA format in-text citations and references

  Evaluation Criteria:

  1. The paper begins with a clear thesis statement that is well articulated in the first or second paragraph
  2. The paper draws appropriately 12 peer-reviewed articles and 3 other sources to support the thesis statement presented. This means that if you could have used findings from a paper listed to make your point more clearly and you do not do so, you will be penalized.
  3. The paper is well structured and synthesizes the material appropriately. Rather than summarize each of the readings referenced, the paper identifies common themes or divergent findings that must be taken into account in making a logical argument in support of the thesis statement.
  4. The concluding paragraph summarizes the focus of the paper and identifies the implications for the study of society.
  5. Well written, proper grammar, proper referencing, spelling, and punctuation

  Writing: Your written assignments will be graded not only for content but for logic, clarity, and mechanics. Remember to proofread your work carefully. When assignments are returned, take note of any corrections or recommendations, and incorporate these into later writings.

  Some instructions:

  1. Papers should have clear introductory and concluding paragraphs.
  2. Avoid moral evaluations.
  3. Avoid claims that you cannot back up. Only state something as a fact if you have supporting evidence, or you can cite someone reputable who does, or it is something truly

  self-evident (e.g., a misstep while crossing the street can result in injury).

  4. Use the thesaurus sparingly. So-called synonyms are rarely truly synonymous, and you

  should never use a thesaurus in an attempt to create the impression that your vocabulary

  is larger than it actually is.

  5. Use in-text citations of the format (Gibson, 2004) or (Gibson, 2004, p. 12) and then provide full bibliographic information at the end of the paper.
  6. Quote written sources sparingly, but strategically.
  7. Avoid vacuous statements. An example: “Theorists such as Blau illuminate the social world by theorizing phenomena contained therein.”

  Papers should be typed, include a title page, page numbers, and a reference page. You should double-space your papers, use 1” margins, and 11pt. Arial or Times New Roman font. You should carefully check your papers for spelling and grammar. You should use sub-headings throughout the paper. I am always willing to look over rough drafts and help you with your papers. You will use in-text citations in the American Psychology Association (APA) style. You may find more information at http://www.apastyle.org.
