Order ID 53563633773 Type Essay Writer Level Masters Style APA Sources/References 4 Perfect Number of Pages To Order 5-10 Pages Description/Paper Instructions
Purpose of assignment:
- To explore how a country’s social structure/system impact individuals in their daily lives
- To use your sociological imagination to consider the 1.) historical/cultural 2.) political 3.) economic aspects that created and sustain these systems
- Analyze: consider several sources to help create a deeper understanding of the costs and benefits of the country set-up, and compare the same system from the American side.
Tasks
- View the film. I recommend first watching it for fun to give yourself a basic idea of the content. After you view the film once, choose a topic/segment you would like to explore and rewatch it (you can also find these segments on YouTube for easy accessibility).
Research
- Start Researching: Now that you know what country/system you will be exploring, take about an hour or so, to do some preliminary background research, or in other words a basic google search. Get a sense of how this systems functions. Keep your eye out for the historical, economic, and political forces that have influence over these systems. Jot down some key words or ideas that are recurring. Once you are done doing this, you will then follow the same process to explore the way America handles the same system. For instance, if you researched prison’s in Norway, you will also explore the American prison system along the same three dimensions. This process will help you develop good “key word” searches in the Holman library database.
- Click to visit the Holman Library Sociology Research Guide and input your search words from your preliminary research. Sometimes what you are looking for will pop right up, other times the process will take longer and you will need to dig deeper into the publications; just know that this process can take time. Never hesitate to reach out to your librarians if you are still having a hard time finding what you are looking for. A strong paper should have the dimensions align, so that it is inherently comparative.

You must cite all of your sources in text. (3-4 pages)
Working towards Progress: What policy ideas would you recommend for improving our current system. What are social reformers currently suggesting be done? Are there different sides or angles to this reform? (1/2-1 page)
Conclusion: Your conclusion should restate the main ideas of your paper and wrap up your essay, by reminding the readers of the basic ideas that you presented. Your topic sentence should reiterate your thesis statement. (one paragraph)
