Sociologist
C. Wright Mills preferred to call the sociological perspective the sociological
imagination, and he saw it transforming personal troubles into public issues.
Let us begin our discussion this week by considering suicide, which is
thoroughly explored in Chapter 1 of the textbook.
For the
initial post, address the following:
How does
the sociological imagination help to examine private acts such as suicide
within a larger societal context?
What are
some examples of social forces influencing youth suicide trends in the United
States, suicide trends in India, and suicide trends in the U.S. military?
Use the
sociological imagination to explain your observations, and how the sociological
imagination helps us consider the causes and possible solutions to suicide.

In the
article noted in this activity, the authors point out that most introductory
sociology textbooks identify the main socialization agents as family, peers,
schools, media, work, and religion. "...[W]hat is far less often
acknowledged is the contribution that children's toys and games play in representing
and reinforcing dominant conceptions of 'appropriate' social identities found
in social discourse and in institutional arrangements." Toys and games can
allow us to experience the subtleties of race, class, gender, and political
socialization that are embedded in play. Sometimes players may challenge and
subvert these images and messages at the delight or disgust of other players.
For the
initial post, address the following:
What toys
did you have as a child that you think of as agents of socialization?
How did you
use toys to understand relationships, or prepare for new ones?
What
specific theoretical perspectives on socialization from this week's reading
(symbolic interactionist, functionalist and/or conflict theoretical
perspectives) best help you understand your childhood toys as agents of
socialization and why?

Post Instructions
Social
psychologist Irving Janis coined the term groupthink to describe how people
often respond differently in a group context than they might if they were alone.
Another interesting topic of sociological study is the area of deviance and
social control. The textbook provides multiples examples from history where
groupthink may have influenced people to participate in socially deviant
behavior that they might have otherwise avoided.
For the
initial post, address one of the following:
Option 1:
Share an example from your personal experience (of your own or of someone you
know), or an example from history, where groupthink may have influenced people
to behave or arrive at a decision in a way that many individual members
privately might have avoided or thought unwise.
Option 2:
Choose a form of deviance with which you are familiar (not necessarily
something you have done, but something someone you know did). Examine why
society views that behavior as deviant and whether perceptions of that behavior
have changed over time. Determine and explain which theory of deviance you
think works best for understanding the deviant behavior you have chosen to
discuss. Remember to be respectful in light of potentially sensitive topics,
and consider what you might be disclosing as there is no guarantee of privacy.

End-of-course
student surveys exist for you to share your anonymous feedback on your courses.
The purpose of the survey is to gather data from a specific population (you,
the students) to understand your experience in the course, and to determine
areas of success and improvement in our courses, including this one (so
hopefully you do share your feedback because we always want to improve our
courses and teaching).
Chapter 1
of the textbook and Week 1 of this course explored the research process. As
mentioned in Week 1, research is fundamental in the social sciences, and a
survey is a common sociological data collection method. If we look at the
course surveys from a sociological perspective, we see that they are used to
understand a specific population's perspective of a social experience/issue.
For this discussion, then, you will observe and analyze and evaluate the survey
itself, as the budding social scientists you all now are, based on your
learning in this course!
Now, to
come full circle, analyze the end-of-course surveys for their effectiveness as
a sociological measurement tool.
How would
you improve the survey itself to create the very best snapshot of student
impressions of this or any Chamberlain University Online course?
Which questions
would you add and why?
Which would
you delete and why?
What
questions would you change and why?

Introduction
There is a
strong tradition of writing both sociologically-informed biographies and
sociologically-informed autobiographies in the discipline of sociology. For
this assignment, you will be doing a bit of both of those. You will both
reflect on your own life story, making connections between your everyday life
or your life story and broad sociocultural structures within which you live,
and you will also compare and contrast those with someone you interview.
The
socioautobiography is a "disciplined, systematic exploration of one's life
from a sociological point of view" (Hill, 2009, p. 3). Also, the
sociobiography is the systematic exploration of another person's life from a
sociological point of view.

this assignment, consider your own life as you review all the textbook readings

explain in connection to a part or parts of your own life story. Click on the

Instructions
In this
week's lesson, you learned about the U.S. Census Bureau's most recent racial
and ethnic categories. For this assignment, consider the racial and ethnic
categories used in the 2010 Census with the four racial, ethnic, and gender
categories used in the 1790 Census: Free white males, free white females, all
other free persons, slaves (Pew Research Center, 2015). Analyze the concepts of
race, ethnicity, and gender as social constructs, just as sociologists do, by
addressing the following:
Explain how
you might have been categorized by the 1790 Census and how you would have been
categorized by the 2010 Census.
Compare and
contrast the two potential categorizations and explain how this exercise shows
that the concepts of race, ethnicity, and even gender change over time. Most importantly,
explain how this exercise shows that the concepts of race, ethnicity, and
gender are social constructs.
Determine
and describe what ethnic, racial, and/or gender categories, if any, would be
best, in your view, for the 2020 Census or the 2030 Census, to most accurately
show the diversity of the U.S. population. What categories would be best to
reveal the segments of the U.S. population most vulnerable to racial, ethnic,
and/or gender inequalities or discrimination? What categories could be listed
in the 2020 Census or the 2030 Census that might best educate the U.S.
population on differences between race and ethnicity? Explain your decisions.
