2. Go into more depth within your chosen social problem. Examine your selected social problem and theorize why your social problem exists in the first place. Which sociological theory do you identify most with as you describe your social problem (see page 15 of your text/figure 1.7 & table 1.2). Why? (100-150 words)
I'd like for us to use our sociological imagination. C. Wright Mills (a famous sociologist) described the sociological imagination as: "the vivid awareness of the relationship between personal experience and the wider society". Choose one social problem (such as: abortion, bullying, alcoholism, date rape, capital punishment/death penalty, racism, poverty, eating disorders, etc.) and describe, in your ideal society, how you would combat your selected issue to solve it. Describe the experience of those affected by the social problem and how their experience would be shifted through the changes made in your ideal society. (200 words) (15 points)

Aristotles way by Edith hall


The Good Reviewer will represent the book (without lapsing into long-winded summaries) so the reader gets a sense of what the book is like whether the reviewer likes it or not. The good reviewer will also offer an interesting or revealing point of view from which the book can be perceived critically.

What is the task of a book review?  There are at least five kinds of book reviewer, but only one pursues the real goal.

Layout

Put page references inside parentheses as plain figures; put them inside final punctuation; use 'p.' only when it is part of the normal grammar of a sentence. So:
Blogg says on p.21 or Blogg says (21) ...  or ... as Blogg says (21), ...
Please use the reduced form for reference: e.g. 239-67 not 239-267, 235-9 not 235-39; but 112-17 - leave the 1 in for teens.
Indent quotations that are longer than three lines in your document.

Ethic movie review

God father
Project Overview
:
For this you will engage with a film that deliberates an ethical dilemma. This will
require you to consider the complexity of the films characters and the quandaries that
they face and require you to go beyond the movie, the characters, and the
circumstances as just pure entertainment. Your 2-3 page essay will be an
investigation, analysis, and evaluation of the ethical issues in a selected film.
      In watching a film, you are presented with ethical perspectives and you reach
ethical conclusions, condemning some characters and admiring others. Whether you
are sitting in an armchair at home or in the theater, you enter into the lives of the
characters in a film and, along with the characters, experience a particular set of moral
challenges. You consider the various ethical decisions made by characters and
examine the rationale behind their decisions. You also consider your own point of v
