To successfully complete this course, you must write a
research-based term paper. It should consist of five paragraphs
that span somewhere between three and five pages,
double-spaced.
Objective
The purpose of your paper is to use factual information from
your research to persuade readers that your position on
the chosen subject is the most suitable, logical way to
view the topic.
Choose a Topic
Base your paper on one of the following topics. For each
topic, you’ll argue for or against the proposition. You must
choose to either defend or reject the proposition you select. In
that context, you’ll state the pros and cons of the proposition
as you defend your position (whether you agree or disagree
with the proposition).
1. Socialization. Many sociological sources maintain that
the family has the responsibility for socializing children
to a basic understanding of societal norms. Proposition:
When socialization fails, the parent(s) should be held
accountable.
2. Deviance. Proposition: The main purpose of a prison
sentence should be reforming the offender.
3. Economy. Proposition: The American Dream is more of a
myth than a reality.
Begin Your Research
Regardless of the topic you choose, start your research with
your texts. Review all the material relevant to your selected
topic in your main text, Sociology: the Basics, and your
reader, Seeing Ourselves.
Next, expand your view of the issue by tracking down sources
beyond the text, using the following resources:
Topic 3: Economy. Consult “The American Dream: Still a Reality?” in Chapter 8 on page 231 and read or reread the “Sociology in the News” feature on pages 232–233, “Waking Up from the American Dream.” In Seeing Ourselves, read “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America,” beginning on page 209.
