INSTRUCTIONS
You will be writing a paper that demonstrates 1) your understanding of three of the sociological perspectives we have studied in the course and 2) your ability to apply these perspectives to contemporary social issues. Focusing on social stratification, answer the following questions in the format provided below. Your final paper should be a minimum of 500-750 words in length, using a 12-point font, and double-spaced. Failure to adhere to formatting standards may result in a deduction of points from the final grade. You are required to use material from the textbook and at least one additional academic source. When citing your sources, you must use MLA or APA format, and you must include a Works Cited page of sources that were cited with in-text citations in your paper. Citations should largely be paraphrases rather than direct quotes, demonstrating an understanding of the cited material. This assignment is worth 10% of your final grade.
TOPIC:
Social stratification
INTRODUCTORY SECTION:
Identify your area of focus within stratification (e.g. race, gender, sexual orientation) and explain why the issue is important, and mention the relevance of the three perspectives.
THEORETICAL SECTION:
STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM: Describe how this topic may be viewed via the structural functionalist perspective. Include a brief overview of the theory, its key focus, and how it can be applied to your topic.
SOCIAL CONFLICT: Describe how this topic may be viewed via the social conflict perspective. Include a brief overview of the theory, its key focus, and how it can be applied to your topic.
SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONIST: Describe how this topic may be viewed via the symbolic interactionist perspective. Include a brief overview of the theory, its key focus, and how it can be applied to your topic.
CRITICAL THINKING ANALYSIS:
In this section, I am looking for you to explicitly illustrate an ability to select and use information appropriately to investigate a point of view or conclusion. Conclude your paper by doing one of two things:
A) Make the case for the best theory to explain your chosen topic (you will choose and have to be able to justify this choice by using information appropriately). Be sure to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each theory.
OR
B) Make the argument that your topic is best understood by using multiple theoretical lenses (again, you have to be able to justify this choice by using information appropriately). Be sure to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each theory
Contact between Europeans and Americans had a profound impact on the peoples of the African
Continent as they became targets of a system of slavery that deprived them of personal liberty and
dignity. What was the impact of the system of slavery in the Americas and in what ways did it
shape the lives of enslaved peoples? Make sure you make an argument and support that argument
with evidence (concrete examples that will strengthen your argument).
Format:
As you think about your argument make sure you consider the sources available that will be the
most effective/convincing in helping you support your argument, therefore use concrete examples
and the strongest sources available to strengthen your paper. You may use materials dating from
beginning of class to November 6 (with an emphasis on the 9/28-11/6 materials), to help you
develop and support your argument. Be careful of trying to do too much. This is a short paper and
ideally 2-3 examples should be analyzed and tied to your overall argument. Make sure to develop
your ideas and write clearly, be explicit about what you are trying to say. GUIDE THE READER!
Read Instructions carefully and follow them! Paper must be 3-5 FULL pages in length (not 2 or
2 or 5 ), typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, Times New Roman, 1 margins all-around. You
may not use any more than 3 quotes in your essay; quotes cannot be longer than 3 lines. Late
papers/exams will be penalized 3 points for each day it is late. Remember to show where your
information is coming from, not just cite the direct quotes.
PAPER INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDE
1. TEXTBOOKS TO BE READ AND CITED AMONG THE 9 SOURCES TO BE CITED
1. Gorman, Michael J. Cruciformity: Pauls Narrative Spirituality of the Cross. Eerdmans, 2001. ISBN: 978-0802847959. (Read Chapters 5 AND 6 )
2. Whitney, Donald S. Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. NavPress, 2014. ISBN: 978-1615216178. ( READ CHAPTERS 1, READ CHAPTERS 2 AND 3 )
3. McClendon and Lockhart, Timeless Church, scan the book. Look through it as an example. This book was designed to identify the overarching characteristics of the early church and argue that these are prescriptive and should be evident in churches today. In a similar way, you are going to be creating a list of the overarching characteristics of a biblical disciple.
OVERVIEW
The church is called to make disciples (Matt 28:19-20). If making disciples is the goal, it is important we are able to articulate what a disciple is, particularly, what characteristics a disciple should exhibit. To develop accurate ministry plans, we must know what the target is. That is at the heart of this assignment. Please take your time. Be specific and clear in the development of this document.
INSTRUCTIONS
For the sake of these instructions, I will use Marks and Characteristics as synonyms. Keeping that in mind, here are the steps you need to take to complete this assignment.
First, study the Scriptures. Conduct a personal study of the Scripture regarding what a disciple looks like. Examine the commands of Scripture regarding the call the follow Jesus. Look at disciples that follow Jesus well. What characteristics seem fundamentally essential? In other words, what are the characteristics that should be evident in someones life who claims to be a disciple of Jesus? Take significant time here, and spend time in the Scriptures studying.
Second, study others. Look up other writers. See what Bible commentaries say on some of the critical verses you examined in the previous step. Look in the textbooks for this course. Read journal articles. Look up sources in the online Liberty Library. See where other scholars agree and disagree with your list. See what characteristics they use and how they describe disciples.
Third, narrow and refine your list. Narrow your list now to the big, essential characteristics. Try to remove overlap between the characteristics. Create a specific, final list. (I recommend having 4 7 characteristics in your final list. If you have too many, youre not getting to the big, essential, umbrella characteristics.)
Fourth, present your list.
A template for this paper is provided in the course for you to use. This assignment must meet Turabian formatting standards.
Provide a cover page.
Provide a contents page.
Provide an introduction.
Provide an argument for the essentiality of each biblical mark (i.e., characteristics). Each mark should have its own first-level heading in bold.
o Present the mark in a clear, concise word or phrase as the heading.
o Provide a detailed description of the mark you are discussing. Then, present an argument for the essentiality of this particular mark (i.e., characteristic) from Scripture. In other words, demonstrate that this mark is essential and biblically derived. Do not just quote Scripture, but present a conclusion based on your study of Scripture.
o Each section for each mark must be a minimum of 200 words.
o A minimum of 8 unique scholarly sources should be cited in this paper. Each mark should have a minimum of two scholarly citations. These sources do not have to be quoted. Sometimes a source is simply cited to show where another scholar has arrived at your same conclusion. Do not cite a website or blog.
Provide a conclusion.
Provide a bibliography. Bibliography must include at least 8 unique scholarly sources that are cited in the paper. Remember, both footnotes and bibliography must be in Turabian formatting.
NOTE
1. Only apply to write the [paper if you are good in Turabain Format and have access to the Turabain format
2. Apply to write the paper only if you have access to the 3 textbooks above, atleast the the first two.
