Please pick ONE out of three topics– DOUBLE SPACED —

RESEARCH ESSAY

Students may pick any topic that deals with any social issue from the course materials or lectures. Students are required to write a sociological paper that is analytical and critical.

It is imperative to note that the writing of a sociological paper requires the primary use of scholarly sociological sources, such as sociological scholarly journals, sociological books, and sociological edited collections.

The paper MUST include a minimum of FIVE sociological scholarly sources (books, scholarly journal articles) NOT including the course text book and relevant course materials.

The essay should be 7-8 pages in length, with one inch margins, size 12 font, double spaced and stapled, not including bibliography and title page.

Do not triple or quadruple space between paragraphs. In doing so, you immediately signify to me that you have not met the minimum length requirements for this paper.

Moreover, triple and quadruple spacing between paragraphs is improper formatting and does not meet the standards of APA or Chicago Style. This means your paper must have 6-8 pages of substantive content.

Students are required to include a full bibliography of all materials used in the paper. Late papers will not be accepted without consent from the course director obtained PRIOR to the scheduled due date. Papers will NOT be accepted via e-mail. Papers will only be accepted in person in class.

Please note that references that are NOT scholarly sources and will NOT count in your bibliography as scholarly sources include the following:

• newspaper articles (i.e., The Toronto Star, The Toronto Sun, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, etc.)
• magazine articles (Maclean’s, Newsweek, The Economist, etc.)
• encyclopedia references (including Wikipedia)
• dictionary references (including Oxford Dictionary and other dictionaries)
• non-scholarly websites, blogs, etc.

Students should also note that government websites and statistical data are NOT scholarly sources and will NOT count as one of the five scholarly sources required for this paper.

Government websites and statistical data provide information that is NOT scholarly and NOT analytical. Statistics denote a social trend but can be interpreted in numerous and contradictory ways. Statistics themselves are devoid of analysis. Simply stating a statistic does not explain or explore any critical sociological analysis.

Similarly, government websites state government policy that is devoid of analysis, and usually reproduces mainstream stereotypes, assumptions and misconceptions.

Critical sociological analysis provides a critique of mainstream stereotypes and assumptions. The use of government data requires critical sociological analysis. Please note that these government websites and statistics include, but are not limited to the following:

• Statistics Canada
• Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship
• Government of Canada website
• Government of Ontario website

Students must get approval from the course instructor for any internet sources they may wish to use. Scholarly journal articles can be retrieved on-line through the Ryerson Library journal abstracts website, Sociological Abstracts. Sources acquired on-line through Sociological Abstracts do NOT require instructor permission.

Students should also note that the research paper is a SOCIOLOGICAL paper that requires SOCIOLOGICAL analysis. Scholarly sources are required to be limited to sociological sources. Scholarly sources that are NOT sociological and will NOT be counted as part of your FIVE required sociological scholarly sources include:

• Nursing journals and books
• Medical journals and books
• Economic journals and books
• Business journals and books
• Social work journals and books
• Psychology journals and books
• Social psychology journals and books
• Behavioural science journals and books
• Biology journals and books
• Genetics journals and books

Scholarly sociological sources that are ACCEPTABLE are the following:

• Race and ethnicity journals and books
• Feminist and Women’s Studies journals and books
• Sociology journals and books
• Communications journals and books
• Criminology journals and books
• Sociology of Education journals and books
• Sociology of the Family journals and books
• Sociology of Work and Occupations journals and books
• Sociology of Health and Illness
• Political science journals and books
• Political economy journals and books
• History journals and books

Papers that do not include a minimum of five scholarly sociological sources will be assigned an automatic failing grade. Make sure that your sources and your analysis are sociological.

Make sure that your sources are SOCIOLOGICAL and NOT psychological, medical or derived from popular mainstream media. Papers that are written from a psychological, medical or mainstream popular media perspective will automatically be assigned a failing grade.

Students should never reference lecture notes in their papers. The reference of lecture notes in essays is improper and shows laziness on the part of the student for failure to research their topic properly. Lectures are based on scholarly sociological research.

Any issue raised in lecture must be referenced in its original scholarly sociological source upon which the lecture is based. This means that students are required to seek out the original scholarly publication.

Please note that students who do not submit the research paper will automatically fail the course.

Possible research topics include but are not limited to the following:

• The Eugenics Movement/Biological Deterministic arguments
• The restructuring of work
• Social inequality/social mobility
• Poverty in Canada
• Canadian immigration policy and Canadian nation-building
• Immigration and settlement issues
• Aboriginal peoples in Canada
• Racialized minorities in Canada (pick a particular racial/ethnic community)
• The role of the state
• Class and the education system in Canada
• The restructuring of work and globalization
• Precarious work
• Post-Fordism
• Globalization (pick a specific issue)
• Racism and policing
• Racism and the criminal justice system
• Anti-Racism education
• Racism and nursing
• The feminization of nursing
• Racism in Canada (pick a particular issue involving one particular racial/ethnic group)
• The domestic labour debate/gender division of labour in the family
• Women and part-time work
• The feminization of work
• Women and the “glass ceiling”
• Women in a particular male dominated job
• Men and the “glass escalator” (i.e., men in feminized jobs)
• Men, masculinity and sport
• Women, femininity and sport

Grading Criteria for Research Essays:

Your research paper is worth 30% of your final grade and will be evaluated on a 30-point scale based on the following criteria:

1) Content: (15 points) adequately addressing the topic with an emphasis on Sociology, and critical analysis that considers the strengths and the weaknesses of the research sources in light of the paper’s main research argument.

Avoid relying too heavily on summarizing and/or describing your research sources, or simply describing a problem. You must engage the sources and critically apply them to your argument (i.e., thesis).

Your analysis should address how and why this social problem/issue occurs. Your paper should emphasize HOW this social phenomenon becomes normalized in our society. In other words, you need to examine the social process by which this social phenomenon occurs and is legitimated in our society as normative.

2) Thesis Statement and Clarity of Argument: (5 points) focus, direction and logical organization and integration of ideas in a well structured argument. Do you have a clear and concise thesis statement?

3) Structure and Organization: (5 points) paper should include the following components:
a. Introduction: clearly stating your thesis/research argument and the specified points you will be arguing in the paper.
b. Body of Paper: where you develop your argument with support from your reference sources.
c. Conclusion: links your main ideas together.
4) Proper referencing style and grammar: (5 points) Both direct quotes and an author’s ideas must be referenced in your paper. Your paper should not have more than one or two (maximum) direct quotes.

The paper should primarily be written in your own voice with social science citations crediting the scholars to whom those ideas belong. APA is the preferred referencing style.

All referencing citations must include the author’s name and the year of the publication using social science citations. Social science citations are located as the end of the direct quote or an author’s idea.

Social science citations are located inside brackets and include the author’s last name, the year of the publication, and the page number. For example, (Miles, 1989:18).

Your references in your bibliography must include the author’s name, the year of the publication, the exact and complete title of the article/book, the publisher’s name, the city of publication, and (in the case of a journal article or book chapter) page numbers. Please note that essays that do not include the required FIVE scholarly sources (as defined in the terms above) will automatically be given a failing grade.

5) Bibliographic References: The following are examples of proper bibliographic reference styles for books, edited collections, and journal articles.
a. Book Reference Example:
Miles, Robert. 1989. Racism. London: Routledge.

b. Edited Collection Reference Example:
Mitchell, Allyson & Karaian, Lara. 2005. Third Wave Feminisms. In Nancy Mandell (Ed.). Feminist Issues: Race, Class and Sexuality. Fourth Edition. Toronto: Pearson Education Canada Inc.

c. Journal Article Reference Example:

Latin and Greek Scientific terminology

Step I – Choose an Article Find a journal in a chosen scientific field. Pick a journal article from a new issue: remember, the article must have been published after October 2018. Once an article is selected:

1. Make sure the article has appropriate words for the assignment (see Step II below).

2. Choose the section of the article for the paper (500 words) which contains 15-25 scientific terms with Latin/Greek roots.

3. Understand the contents of the article to be able to discuss it in the paper (ex. in the introduction).

Step II – Choosing Words Choose 15-25 words for the essay which are scientific terms of Latin/Greek origin. Both languages must be represented in the assignment. Some words will be hybrid words, that is, they will have both Latin and Greek components. These hybrid words are also appropriate choices.

1. Reflect on the distribution of Latin, Greek or hybrid terms found in the article. If the article favours Latin words, use more Latin words in the paper. If the article has an even split between Latin and Greek, show this in the essay.

2. Make sure that the words chosen are technical terms specific to the field. i. Scientific words, not regular words – many words in English or French have Latin or Greek roots. Pick only words that are scientific. ii. Technical terms – words that are specific to the chosen field. That is, the word does not have the same meaning when used in other contexts. a. Example of choosing appropriate terms: “The computer programmer dexterously engineered a new interface that was resistant to viral attack. “The immunologist effectively formulated a vaccine to the virus.” 1. Here, “virus” & “viral” are technical terms, as they each mean something specific (i.e. different) in each context (computer science vs. medicine). 2. “Interface,” “vaccine” and “immunologist” are all examples of appropriate scientific terms in these two sentences. 3. “Resistant”, “effectively” and “dextrously” are not appropriate terms; they are used in a wide variety of contexts with the same meaning. iii. Check with a TA if you are unsure whether the word is a scientific and technical term. Please be sure to provide the context/sentence that the word is in.

**Nota bene: The technical terms that you will deal with in your paper have been coined by “modern” – that is post-Renaissance – scientists to describe the phenomena they observed, often also by using metaphors. It may be useful for you to think about what kind of metaphors are being used in the case of your words.

**Nota bene: Please, remember that “terminology” and “vocabulary” are COLLECTIVE NOUNS referring to systems, and need hardly ever be put in the plural or applied to singular terms. They are not to be confused with “terms”, “words” and “technical terms”. Step III – Crafting the Essay Using the words selected from the article, create a discussion of the terms in a meaningful way. Organize the words into coherent paragraphs. You might find these steps useful for getting started on your essay: 1. Use dictionaries and other sources to find the etymology of the words. 2. Keep detailed reference notes during your research, in particular of the sources you read (page number, author, etc.) so that you can easily go back to the source. 3. Look at all the information collected about the words and see if there are any patterns. 4. Link words by patterns, similarities, differences, themes, etc. These groups will become paragraphs or sections of the essay. Examples include: fields, specialists, organisms, species, locations, organs, etc. When it comes time to write your essay, make sure to include the following: 1. Introduction i. Present the article (author, title, journal, etc.), briefly summarize it, and introduce the content of the paper. Remember that introductions go from broad to specific. 2. Body – as described above 3. Conclusion i. Summarize the statements made in the paper. ii. Draw the paper together by making links between the observations of the research. Is your conclusion coherent with the introduction and the body of the text? Step IV – Editing Check spelling and grammar for errors. Most importantly, review the content of the paper to see if its ideas are clear and well-expressed. The paper should be understandable to someone who knows nothing about the scientific field or about Latin/Greek etymology. Editing tips include: 1. Reading the paper out loud to catch mistakes more easily. 2. It is a good habit to show your essay to reliable people (ex. a friend, parent, tutor, librarian, people who are good at writing, but not the TAs) and to listen to their suggestions. 3. Leaving the paper for a few hours or days and coming back to it to take another look.

**Nota bene: Remember to use formal essay style throughout, i.e. complete sentences, correct grammar and spelling. Please avoid the use of “I”, point-form, contractions, slang, and abbreviations. Also, think carefully about all of the words which you use; they must all serve a purpose. If you say a word is “interesting”, why is it interesting? Finally, link sentences and paragraphs by using conjunctions like: therefore, consequently, thereby, however, since, but, nonetheless, moreover, in addition, also, in any case, etc. The use of these words allows us to follow the progress of your reasoning. When you finish a paragraph and start a new one, always ask yourself: is the previous paragraph complete? Is the new paragraph well connected with the previous one?

Step V – Citation
Make sure to show where the information used in the paper comes from. Include all books, journals, websites and dictionaries used. Acknowledge sources via in-text citations as well as a bibliography at the end of the paper.

1. Use appropriate academic sources at all times; be sure to evaluate the quality of the information presented (especially with websites). Ask a reference librarian or a TA for help evaluating the validity of sources. As much as possible, use a variety of sources in the analysis; this will strengthen the paper. Permitted citation formats include: MLA, APA, Chicago. Please be consistent in the chosen style. Contact a TA to ask permission to use a different style.

2. Citing dictionaries is sometimes a complex process. Different citation styles have different instructions on how to do so. To simplify your task, use the following guidelines (loosely based on the Chicago Manual of Style) regardless of the citation style used in the rest of your paper. i. In-text: State the dictionary, followed by the abbreviation s.v. (literally “under the headword”) and the headword you wish to cite. Examples of in-text citations: Footnote (use for Chicago): Merriam Webster, s.v. “virus.” Parenthetical (use for MLA and APA): (Merriam Webster, s.v. “virus”) ii. Bibliography: Provide a citation for the dictionary as a whole in accordance with your chosen citation format. You do not need to include a separate bibliographic entry for each headword.

**Nota bene: A failure to include both a bibliography and in-text citations will result in an automatic failure for your paper.

Checklist: 1. Title page 2. Essay 3. Bibliography 4. Section of article used, with words used highlighted

Types of relativism, ethical individual and cultural

Paper Formatting: Papers should be in a standard 12-point font (e.g. Times New Roman or Cambria), with 1” x 1” margins, double–spaced, and include page numbers. The top left hand side should include your name, the date, the course, and the name of your instructor. Put a title on your paper but do not include a title page.
NEED to cite all quotes
Write a 3-4 page paper destroying ethical relativism as a viable ethical theory; then choose a moral issue and argue that one side is better than another.

There are two types of relativism, ethical/individual and cultural. This paper is to use ethical/individual relativism only, as this is an ethical theory class. DO NOT USE CULTURAL RELATIVISM (do not even mention it). If you do not use ethical relativism, you will not get much, if any, credit for this paper.

The aim of this paper is to explain and then destroy relativism. Relativism is the idea that ethics is simply a matter of personal opinion and that no one’s opinion is any better than another. A person once remarked to me that the most valuable thing that I teach in this entire course is that this is false. Relativism is normally a reaction to the failure of moral absolutism, the idea that there is one right answer or system in ethics that applies to all people in all situations. For example, some say “Thou shalt not kill” is an absolute moral law. Thinkers have pointed out that it is perfectly legitimate to kill in self-defense, so this is not an absolute truth. If absolutism were in fact true in ethics, I would teach that answer the first week, and then I would be done. Since there are not exact answers in ethics, like there are in math, people have a tendency to adopt the extreme opposite position, that every answer is just is good as every other one, or that ethics is just a matter of opinion or perspective. This is usually due to the fact that no one really knows with certainty what is ethically true. As with absolutism, if relativism were true, I would teach only this theory, then the semester would be over. I approach ethics with the idea that neither absolutism nor relativism work as a system of ethics (I do think there are a handful of moral absolutes: killing an innocent person is always wrong, the same with adultery, spite, sexism or racism, for instance). Ethics, like life, lives in the gray area, and as ethical thinkers we have to be okay with not having precision in this discipline. Though there may not be absolute or perfect answers in ethics, we can maintain standards and hold that there are better answers than others. This is a claim that relativism denies. If relativism is true, then every moral belief is correct, even racist beliefs, beliefs that molesting children is good, sexist beliefs, etc. If every belief is correct, then nothing is wrong, and if nothing is wrong, then there is no right and wrong at all. Also, if every belief is correct, then extreme opposite positions are equally true, like pro-choice and pro-life. If these two views are equally correct, then concerning the abortion issue, relativism asserts that we should both kill and not kill the unborn. So inasmuch as absolutism claims there is only one right answer (like the 10 Commandments, for instance), relativism claims that EVERY answer is right. In other words, it destroys the very idea of ethics, that there is good and bad or right and wrong. So you are to destroy this theory!! After you destroy the theory, you will choose an ethical issue, then argue that one side is in fact better than another. You may not have an absolute solution to the issue, but you should try to persuade your reader that your side is better.

A moral issue is not any ethical matter; rather, a moral issue involves an ongoing problem or situation about a moral value (justice, rights, autonomy, life, etc.) that presents two viable alternatives that a person must choose between in order to evaluate right/wrong or good/bad. For instance, murder is not an ethical issue, as “murder is right” is not a viable alternative; racism is certainly an ethical matter, but it is not an ethical issue, as it would be absurd to claim that racism is good or right. Also, do not confuse specific cases or historical matters with moral issues. A specific case might be: “should this person be president?”; an historical matter would be the Tuskegee Airmen, for instance. These may very well be ethical matters, but they are not moral issues. Moral issues have two viable alternatives that can be reasonably argued for concerning a persisting problem: should we or should we not experiment on people, give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, or have doctors help patients to kill themselves.

Some current ethical issues: gay marriage and shops refusing to serve gay people, free speech and the campus protests, labeling dolphins as persons to protect them, drug legalization, embryonic stem cell research, illegal immigration, etc. Some classical ethical issues: death penalty, abortion, organ donation, privacy, the environment, etc.

First Amendment to Constitution States

The First Amendment to the Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” In 2015, Presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed that he would consider shutting down mosques in the United States. Now that Donald Trump is president assume for the purposes of this assignment that he created an executive order mandating the closure of all mosques.

Consider Donald Trump’s statements from a Constitutional perspective. Would Trump’s policies violate the First Amendment? Explain.

Suppose you are the lawyer involved in this case. Which side would you choose to represent, the U.S. Government as the defendant or the congregation of a Muslim mosque as the plaintiffs?

After deciding your position, please make arguments on behalf of your client (either the U.S. Government or the Muslim Congregation). Explain your position using your interpretation of the Constitution and relevant case law.

Your paper must be at least 1000 words.
Please double space your paper and use standard 12 point font.
Make sure to proofread your paper before submitting.
Please follow APA format when referencing information from outside sources.
Make sure to reference at least three (3) outside sources.

Fermi Problem Essay Assignment Paper

Fermi Problem

Assessment Task 2 is Fermi Problem. In Strategic Management we are using the Fermi Problem to demonstrate quantitative numeracy skills. Students will, with limited data make effective, and approximate calculations to model the efficiency of an organisation. This is a synthetic study, and there is no right or wrong answer to the Fermi Problem, however some answers may be proven to be more detailed and accurate than others.

Task Purpose

The purpose of Assessment Task 2 is to have students undertake a strategic analysis demonstrating quantitative literacy. Quantitative literacy is a required Graduate Capability for this subject.

Quantitative literacy will be assessed within the following sub-tasks:

1) Creation of a numeric dataset based on specific organizational activities;

2) Interpretation of that numeric dataset;

3) Creating a synthetic model showing calculations with the dataset as a basis;

4) Extrapolation and explanation of outcomes for the synthetic model.

The quantitative literacy assessment task requires at least five (5) in-text references from peer-reviewed academic journals to demonstrate engagement with the body of knowledge. These references are best drawn from research into the sector within which the organisation being modelled might be found.

General rules:

1) Engagement with the Body of Knowledge: No academic journal article may be referenced more than twice;

2) Academic journal referencing is required for this task. Where academic journals or other sources are used they must be referenced.

3) The subject text book must be referenced at least once.

Case Background:

International Rescue is a newly formed organisation with expertise in critical incident management.

Vision Statement

International Rescue is the world’s foremost provider of emergency intervention to communities affected by natural disaster.

Mission Statement

The mission of International Rescue is to improve lives through the rapid supply of essential life sustaining items to communities affected by natural disaster and, as necessary, the relocation of people from disaster zones to safe locations.

Current Objective

International Rescue has been commissioned by the French Government, as part of an international humanitarian relief operation, to provide food and drinking water to a group of young people trapped by an earthquake in the town of Berechid, Morocco.

Early warning allowed 126,000 people to evacuate the town before the disaster. Evacuation priority was given to elderly people, people with illness, children under the age of 18 years, men and women with children, men and women over the age 22. 16,000 young people, between the ages of 18 and 22 were left in the town when all available transport had been filled.

The earthquake has destroyed all electricity generation, water purification, and roads into the town. An air evacuation has been planned to take place in 72 hours when sufficient helicopters have been assembled to begin an airlift from the town to the assembly point 35 kilometres away. Other organisations have been engaged to transport the trapped persons, but International Rescue must provide food and water to the trapped people, and plan the final evacuation.

International Rescue has deployed its assets to within 35 kilometres of the disaster area.

Within its asset inventory, International Rescue has immediate access to five C130 transport aircraft and 2000 Pouncer Drones, from Windhorse Aerospace.

International Rescue will have a fleet of one hundred NATO AS532 Cougar helicopters available within seventy-two hours to begin the final evacuation.

Only one helicopter landing area is available in the disaster zone, and it takes a total of 11 minutes to load twenty organised people into one helicopter. Only one helicopter may land in the zone at a time and there is a required five minute window after the departure of a helicopter from the disaster area landing zone before another helicopter may land.

International Rescue must supply for 16000 persons, for at least 72 hours:

7.5 litres of water per person per day

150 grams of protein per person per day

500 grams of canned vegetables per day

Method:

You are to provide in approximately 1200 words (+/- 10%) a response to the following:

As the Strategic Operations Director of International Rescue it is your task to calculate the following and provide for examination:

1) The background to the situation (with five academic references).

2) The strategic intent of International Rescue, as it might apply to the situation.
