About Research Paper

“You want to know the
difference between a master
and a beginner? The master has
failed more times than the
beginner ever tried.”-unknown
Structural Functionalist Perspective
Family is the back bone of society
– Replenishes population
– Socializes children
– Provides emotional and
physical care
Conflict Perspective
Focuses on power distribution in marriages
• Why do women take husbands last name?
• Why do children take father’s last name?
Symbolic Interactionist Perspective
Look at social meanings of
divorce, single parenthood, and cohabitation
• “Visitation rights”
• “Single mom”
• “Living in sin”

1. Followed the scoring rubric provided on the website and discussed
in class
2. Answered the question with specific detailed examples (from
research studies, history, news, world events)
3. Did not have errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation
4. Demonstrated a strong understanding of the concept
5. Introduction had a strong, clear thesis previewing the 3 examples
Choice A: Norms.
Define norms, mores, and folkways as defined in your text.
Research and provide three examples of norms that were
once mores in our society, but over time have become folkways (or
the other way around).
Provide an analysis of why you think this change occurred.
Choice B: Subcultures.
Define sub-cultures and counter cultures.
Research and provide three examples of sub-cultures or counter
cultures in American society.
Why do they fit the definition of a sub-culture or counter-culture?
What are some of the norms and values of each?
Choice C: Race
100 years ago, sociologist W.E.B Du Bois said “The problem of the
20th century is the problem of the color line.”
What is racism?
Why is W.E.B Du Bois an important sociologist?
Research and describe two modern day (recent) events related to
racism.
Choice D: Prejudice:
Describe three of the four sociological approaches to explaining
prejudice (Cultural Transmission, Group Identification Theory,
Personality Theories, Frustration-aggression hypothesis)
Research and provide a real-life example of each (from history,
news, or one from personal experience, be specific and detailed).
Which of these theories do you feel best explains discriminatory
behaviors, why?
Choice E: Illegal Immigration
Research and analyze illegal immigration through each of the
sociological perspectives.
Conflict theory, Structural Functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism
Weak Example
Frustration-aggression hypothesis states that ethnic prejudice
develop from people’s need to cope with the frustration in their
daily lives (class notes). The Frustration-aggression hypothesis is
illustrated by the Japanese Americans being sent to internment
camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan during World War
II.
Problem 1-definiton not in your own words or
with quotation marks around it
Problem 2- no researched details about the
example
Strong Example
Frustration-aggression hypothesis states that ethnic prejudice starts from people
needing to find a group to blame for the frustration they feel (class notes). The
Frustration-aggression hypothesis is illustrated by the Japanese Americans being
sent to internment camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan during
World War II. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor many people in our country
developed an instant prejudice against the Japanese-American citizens living in
United States. The American government assumed that the Japanese-Americans
were spies and none of them could be trusted, so they confined the JapaneseAmericans to internment camps under Executive Order 9066 (Siasoco and Shmuel,
2011). The Japanese- Americans faced prejudice and discrimination in their
communities. The United States government ruled that denying JapaneseAmericans their constitutional rights was necessary to protect America from
espionage. Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their communities,
families, homes, businesses, and properties (Roberts, 2008) .
