Question

Need help writing a two page article for sociology 101 =/

Answer 1

not having to write papers is the exact reason i started studying math

Answer 2

I love papers!! And I hate math! SO! What topic in sociology 101?

Answer 3

okay well I need to pick a ch. from the book & write a article on it.... I choose Ch.9 it's about Race,Ethnicity & Stereotype. I wanna talk bout Racism

Answer 4

ok is it double spaced? If so this is even easier? Make sure you cite the book just in case.

Now then what is the prompt/Assignment. Now best thing for you to do is think on what stance on the article you wanna do.

Answer 5

I have to also site all the info I get from web sites,author,book etc

Answer 6

ok yes it is

Answer 7

Awesome! So lets begin with the intro.

What about racisim do you want to say?

Answer 8

kay I wanna talk bout racisim

Answer 9

Ok well what about it? How will this relate to sociology? Are you just gonna talk about perceptions on Racism? What Racism is? like is the topic generally Racism?

What we need to isolate is what the focus of the paper is. While we know it is racism, we need a better focus. What statment about it do you wanna make? (If I am getting this wrong please post the prompt of the assignment like what did the professor say to you about what the paper should look like?))

Answer 10

Answer 15

Ok! That s good.

So how like can you connect the two? How do you want to connect the two?

Answer 16

Select 2 articles and write a 2-3 page paper relating the information in the article to an assigned chapter in the text. Use terms and concepts from the chapter and other prior information covered in lectures or in the text in prior chapters. Note that you are not writing a summary of the article. You may give your opinion at the end, but you are graded on your ability to connect the information and concepts in the course to the article.

Answer 17

Ok! So lets see the focus of the paper is connecting the racisim discussions in class to those in the text. Break it down.

An easy way to do this is

Intro

Class Lectures/outside info (With quotes and note references and other outside sources)

Textbook

Compare and Contrast and Connect - After talking and discussing on what was said in the previous two categories. Lets connect the two. What similarities and connections can we make?

Conclusion

Answer 24

Ok well you did pick one now pick another and lets connect them to eachother and the text. Either way we will still be doing what I said eariler. We want to think about a clear direction with the paper.

Select 2 articles and write a 2-3 page paper relating the information in the article to an assigned chapter in the text. Use terms and concepts from the chapter and other prior information covered in lectures or in the text in prior chapters. Note that you are not writing a summary of the article. You may give your opinion at the end, but you are graded on your ability to connect the information and concepts in the course to the article.
^ so we arent doing this?

Answer 30

yes but i have to do 1 at a time..

Answer 31

Yea but that is the thing. I think you are missing the point. We aren't connecting it to your life as much as to the text and things from the lectures.

Answer 32

okay well i gotta connect to books, sites etc

Answer 33

i choose this article http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/opinion/29kristof.html?_r=5

Answer 34

Yea so lets do that

So lets look at the article. What connections Can you make to the text, Books, Sites, ect? We are looking for somewhat of things that could help us analyze this. If that makes sense.

Answer 35

kay I read the article

Answer 36

it was about families with no food and hungry children and how a Dr came up with a Haitian farmers use virtually no fertilizer — less than a pound per acre, compared with about 90 pounds in the United States — and soils are severely depleted. But Sasha calculates that if half of Haitians’ human waste could be used as fertilizer, that would amount to a 17-fold increase in fertilizer use, more than doubling the country’s agricultural production.

Sasha and Sarah have deployed 45 of their toilets, and now they are trying to introduce a municipal composting system in Cap Haitien.

Answer 37

okay i think u gave :( thanks anyway bye

Answer 38

no i am still here

im tired it is super late atm for me and I have 2 court decisions to draft up.

try to keep to what I said above.

1- Introduce what you are speaking about and state the direction of the paper.

2- Talk about the article

3- Talk about your lectures, readings, books, online sources

4- make the connections. Where can the lines be drawn? What connections can be made.

5- Conclude- end by reaffirming what you stated originally.

Once you have a general outline you can add substance to the paper by using quotes, and your sources to fluff it up in addition to what you imput in.

Answer 39

Thank you very much with your time/help! Good Luck with your court discussions..night

Answer 40

thank you and good luck alright. Just remember to not overthink. and once you are done writing leave it for a bit then come back and read it out loud to catch some grammatical errors.
