As you learned in this week’s readings, many constitutional scholars consider the prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures as one of the most basic freedoms that the Bill of Rights clearly protects. This central freedom supports and protects other essential freedoms, like free speech, press, assembly, and religion. Recently, this core freedom has become a very controversial debate topic as large American cities, like New York City, have instituted police procedures described as “stop and frisk.” In these cities, when a police officer has reason to believe that a person is armed there are set protocols for police officers that they must accomplish in order to determine if the suspected individual is a threat to public safety. For example, officers can make stops based on suspicious activities and frisk individuals for weapons. Courts have found this to be within the boundaries of the Fourth Amendment until just recently.
Write: In your initial post of at least 300 words, utilize the Constitution, established case law, and scholarly sources to complete the following assignments:

Describe one argument that supports “stop and frisk” policies.
Describe one argument that opposes “stop and frisk” policies.
Explain which argument is the most constitutionally sound. Why?
Provide real-world examples to support your answers. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

First, read the Introduction and Chapters 5 and 6 of Lik Sam Chan’s book The Politics of Dating Apps: Gender, Sexuality, and Emergent Publics in Urban China. After reading these selections from the book, write an essay (conforming to the rubrics above) that engages the following questions:
In her analysis of Chinese dating app culture, Chan employs the term ‘networked social publics’. What do you think that she means by this term and why do you think that it is important to her analysis of the political implications of emerging technology? In answering this, pay attention to the roles that gender, technology, and intimacy play in creating these new technological systems. Then, consider Chan’s analysis of the use of dating apps by queer Chinese women, and explain how and why ‘communal connectivity’ becomes a critical form of social engagement in the use of these apps. How are these networked forms of community important to the app users?

How different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture

Create a public information product of your choice that is based on data related to a diversity issue. Your product should be at least 1,500 written words, or 10-15-minutes in length if spoken.

Often, discrimination is discussed as a primarily individual phenomenon—one-on-one actions in which one person discriminates against another. But as you have learned through your studies and research, some discrimination occurs at the institutional level, despite laws and policies that have been created to reduce or eliminate structural racism.

In this assessment, you examine how different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture that practices systemic discrimination in treatment or access to valued resources. You will examine the extent to which institutional discrimination occurs within a specific institution, such as the criminal justice system or the health care system. A key part of this assessment is incorporating data to support your analysis, something that is also integral to the work that sociologists do. You will also reflect upon and discuss feasible strategies for addressing the institutional inequality uncovered during your research.

Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Create a public information piece that conveys a central tenet regarding institutional inequality.

Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Analyze data to make valid sociological inferences.

Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
Describe factors contributing to racial and ethnic disparities within the criminal justice system.
Assess the impact that institutional discrimination within the justice system has had on minorities and minority communities.
Explain ways in which public policies are linked to racial and ethnic disparities within the criminal justice system.
Describe policy strategies for reducing institutional discrimination.

Competency 6: Communicate effectively.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Instructions
This assessment asks you to demonstrate a deep understanding of institutional discrimination through both research and data analysis.

Initial Work Based Project Brief – Villagehood Australia

There is limited support available for mothers, especially young ones and those with no family around them, or those impacted by pandemic or life circumstances. As a social enterprise, we rely on donations and government grants and we have limited funding available to respond to constantly growing market and community demands.

To help us meet the market demands, yet cover the costs of operations, we are asking students to:

• Conduct a market research and competitors’ analysis at a national and international level. Identify what competitors
do and how (you can use case studies). Minimum 3, ideal 5–10 competitors

• Based on your research findings, formulate detailed recommendations, particularly in relation to funding
models and fundraising best practices (how to fundraise effectively).

• Your recommendations should include, but not be limited to the current Villagehood’s 3 sources of funding:
1. Corporate sponsorship, where organisations either hire or pay for our services or provide donations
2. Individual donations (i.e. financial contributions made by individuals or through organised fundraising events
for Villagehood)
3. Peer–to–peer fundraising individuals fundraise on behalf of the non for profit and accept donations, which are then received by non for profit”

• Optional task: Provide an overview around what funding/value ratio is acceptable i.e. for $$ in value for our beneficiaries we can expect to receive $$ in funding. This is part of measuring and quantifying the social impact
