If you were awarded a large grant to conduct a socialogical analysis of a contemporary social problem/issue/question of interest to you, what topic would you select?\n\nWhy would you select this topic?\n\nWhat sociological perspective would you utilize to analyze your topic (e.g., structural-functionalism, conflict, symbolic interaction)? Why?

I deffinately think it would be immigration... kick all the illegals to Iraq to fight the war for 3-5 years after that they can become full citizens (those that remain).

It is difficult to know how to answer your question without knowing more about your paper and exactly what you have covered.  Possibly summarize your findings briefly and succinctly, emphasizing the main areas of learning affected by ASD.  Mention the great variety of learning skills possible among individuals with ASD.  I think it would be important to highlight communication, social skills and behavior.  I hope this is of some help.

One of the most interesting essays I ever read was, "Are you lonely - or alone?"  In other words, do you choose to be alone and like it, or are you miserable that no one is paying attention to you?\n\nIt would, of course, be more interesting than funny.  But I think it could really stand you out from the crowd, who are doing more easy [and possibly C grade] subjects.\n\nGood luck!

Doug North's "Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance" will be essential to understanding where the field has gone recently.  It's much more concrete than Stiglitz' "Globalization", which, while interesting, carries a lot of opinionizing among the little bit of theory.  North is considered the premier authority on institutions in the academic world today.  I've also attached a reading list from one of the recent events in the field, and it's pretty comprehensive.\n\nThose should keep you busy for a while.  :)

Talk about something your are interested in.  Or something you could find out about and feel passionate about e.g. Why donating bone marrow is a good idea (Put Antony Nolan into google and you will find something.); Christians and Conservation (arocha.org); a place I would like to visit (just put in Cambridge or Kenya etc into Google and you will get lots of info.)

You have my sympathy.\n\nI use to here the same complaints from sociology majors. Only a couple people seem to like socialogy and based on what they said I would suggest that you learn to paraphrase what your professor talks about in class. Never use paragraph to explain and idea when you could use ten.\n\ndraw on what you know.

Why, Theology WITHOUT Sociology is like a peanut butter sandwich without the peanut butter! How can one understand religious ideologies, choices, and freedoms without understanding the separate cultures from which they spring?\nMost certainly the latter must be woven into any Theological study, in my opinion.

Hello - very interesting question. What kind of course is the paper for? Just curious. 10 pages should be absolutely no prob. \n\nYou could try Paul Fussell, "Class" (a painfully accurate guide through the American status system), 1983, for a humorous take on the topic. A bit dated, but still worth the read. There's a bibliography on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Class_in_American_History#20th_Century\nAs to gay marriage: You might be able to make something out of the recent vote on some proposals on gay marriage bans during the mid-term elections (e.g. Arizona). I'm sure there're statistics to be found.\n\nSome unasked advice (feel free to ignore it): Don't spread out too much, focus on one or two aspects, especially if you only have 10 pages; possibly give an outlook on other stuff you believe to be relevant at the end. Also, strictly scientifically speaking, it's a bit sus to set out to refute an assumption. You rather examine it and then varify it or show it to be erroneous according to your findings - anything else would be biased.\nHope this helps - good luck with your paper, I'd be interested to hear what you come up with. Cheers, Martin

Theory. Because application means that the theory is'applied to' something which we write and that is application. 'Applied to'.\nBest of luck for you projct. It is a good topic.\nBye

These links should get you started, and will lead you to many othr links.  If you consider they were each from different countries, think about that in terms of their perspectives.  \n\nGood luck with your paper.

Dear ASKER,\n\nYour question is 100% valid but the thing is you placed it under the wrong SUBJECT.\n\nI would suggest you to copy your question and put it under\nHome > Society & Culture > Other - Society & Culture.\n\nThank you very much.\n\n-Post Master

You might be interested to check out a website that does research on topics such as this-- It's called Project Implicit, and it's an ongoing Harvard study. I found out about it while reading the book, "Blink", by Malcom Gladwell. (Great book, by the way-- I enjoyed it more than his other one, "The Tipping Point") You can register (it's free and quick) and participate, and/or see results of past studies. It has things that are race-related, gender related, and sooo much more-- really interesting stuff!! -- I'm going to post it as a new topic, for those who might find it of use-- I hope you're getting the answers you were looking for! -- Also, my thoughts on all of the above are pretty standard, as I have some Aboriginal blood in me- (MicMac) -- I'm curious as to why you posted the question, though, as there may be those who answer with the stereotypical racist comments-- Anyway, I hope the site gives you more information to satisfy your curiosity-- I have to say, it does make you THINK, and can challenge what you thought you knew about yourself!-- Bye for now, have a great week!\n\nhttps://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/

1. Answer this question: Why do I want to study international development?\n\n2. What are the goals I hope to achieve?\n\n3. How will my experience and education help me in inernational development?\n\n4. Are you interested in history, sociology, business, environmental issues,  anthropology and cultural studies?\n\n5. Do you know anything about the major world religions?\n\n6. Have you worked with people to help them, educate them, or managed or supervised people.\n\n7. Would you like to live in a foriegn country???? Do you speak any foriegn language????\n\nThe foregoing will give you a good start on you purpose statement.\n\nIn the future you will be called upon to write many purpose statements for the progams that you will be supervising!!!!! You will need to be able to state clearly your objectives and goals.\n\nInternational studies  is complicated and includes many factors.\n\nHere is some advice: BE SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING. Answer this question: Why do I want to study international studies????\n\nWhen you have answered that question  ask youself this question: Are the any other professions I may be interested in???\n\nIf you need help determining what professions would interest you take an interest test. An inerest test is a psycological that relates success in given professions with patterns of inerest. There are several interest tests, one that I know of is called the Kuder  Interest Survey.  \n\nGOOD LUCK!!

Sociology is a great subject.  It was my minor in college (BS, Psychology, University of Houston), so I took several sociology-based classes.  I think you'll find it interesting, especially when your instructor starts to cover the various sociological theories and how they apply to your everyday life.

2 minutes on google will find the answer. (I know because I did it)\n\nIs the topic too boring to spend 2 minutes on? If so, why are you studying it?

what is the one topic you feel most strongly about? you need something you are interested in, to gain the interest of others, and you aren't going to persuade anybody if you aren't serious about it. for example, do you have a really strong opinion on the voting age? abortion laws? women in the military? stopping illegal immigrants? the age at which someone is considered an adult? trying juveniles as adults when they commit a serious crime? how about the legality of people mutilating animals...such as declawing cats...docking tails and ears of dogs because it 'looks better'...breaking and resetting show horse's tails crooked so they fall a certain way? (they do this with Tennessee Walkers and Saddlebreds)just a few ideas. hope it helps!
