Thank you

The Final Exam!

Some students approached me. Their concern is surely the coverage of the exam.
So I am going to write something about it for these who missed information during the class time and want to know more about it :)

1) Form of questions
Section A is multiple choices
Section B is essay type

My focus on Section A question is three sociological perspectives.  Aside from that, gender, culture and self.

Section B
Coverage is from the beginning!

As I have said, as long as you participate my class and discussion, this exam might not be challenging.

Good luck and see you in the final exam

Perspectives on Stratification
Karl Marx on Class Differentiation
Class differentiation is the crucial determinant of social, economic, and political inequality.
Class struggle as the result of the conflict between owners and workers.
Exploitation of the working class, or proletariat, will lead to the destruction of capitalist society. 

Max Weber’s View
Weber insisted that class does not totally define a person’s position with the stratification system
According to Weber, each of us has not 
one, but three ranks in society:
- Class
- Status
- Power

Poverty
Approximately one out of every nine people in the United States lives below the poverty line.

Sociologists distinguish different types of poverty:

Final requirement - Sociological paper -

Sociological paper is the last requirement for this sociology class. But it does not mean really the "last". I will give you small assignment for coming week.
I simply want to inform you this earlier since we won't have much classes on September.
As you know, we won't have classes during Intramural and Penafrancia, which made me sad :(

You know what is the "sociological paper". I won't discuss here what does it mean. Simply put, it is "human" related action.

Examples of possible topics:

Littering, Street Children, Teacher and student relationship and so on...

** I strongly recommend that topic must be related to your daily life or you observe which made you wonder.

Contents: You can read the assigned reading for the session of social research.
If I can mention, I will say the following; 

1) Addressing issue(s)

2) Justification of #1

3) Hypothesis 

4) Methodology 

5) Result

6) Conclusion

Deadline of submission: Each class has different date so, I won't post here to avoid confusion. 

Format: Free (Be creative) .It is up to you how to present your research. 

I also accept the group work. But I accept the number which is maxim three (3) persons in one (1) group.

STRICTLY NO PLAGIARISM 

Please feel free to ask if you have any questions and qualification. 

My consultation time: 

MWF 1:30- 2:30
