 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 

Annotated Bibliography assignment: (150–points) The paper for this course will be a completion of an annotated bibliography assignment. You should use ASA (American Sociological Association) formatting for this assignment or APA or MLA, and use the structure/format in the example provided.

What you need to do:

1. Decide on a topic that relates to sociology for your paper. The topics “gender” or “race” are too broad. Something more like “gender discrimination in the workplace” or “racial health disparities and microaggressions” is fine.

2. Find 3 peer–reviewed journal articles on your topic from the below journal list (instructions also attached). These articles are to be linked thematically (so, you should not use one article on gender equality in the workplace and then the other two on racial discrimination in the military – these are not linked thematically).

3. Use the UIUC library website, go to SocINDEX database.

4. Find three peer reviewed scholarly articles on your topic.

5. You will address the following elements for each article (1.5 pages single–spaced for each article):
1) Provide a concise summary of the central theme and scope of the article.
2) What was the core question/thesis of this article? If something is being tested, what was it?
3) What data were used (if any)? Where did they come from? (if no data were used simply state that in your
annotation).
4) Does the research answer the authors question and if so, how, and if not, why not?
5) How is this article related to sociology? (note: bring in concepts/topics discussed throughout course; this section is
weighted more heavily (this is a sociology class!) J)
6) Provide a discussion of how this research improved your understanding of sociology/your main takeaways.
6. You will need to format your annotated bibliography exactly like the example attached at the end of this document.
7. Note: anti–plagiarism software will be run on all assignments. In the event that two students in the course review the same
article and copy each other’s bibliographies, both students will receive the grade of 0 (zero) on the assignment.

How has the art from the Cold War continued to shape politics in times of conflict?

Propaganda during Soviet times came in poster form

Propaganda during Soviet times came in poster form. Some messages stirred patriotism in the fight against Adolf Hitler’s invading forces, while others slammed illiteracy and laziness. They also bashed the greed associated with capitalism. A painter even introduced one of the Cold War’s most enduring, powerful, and popular metaphors: the Iron Curtain. Winston Churchill – a passionate and prolific amateur painter in addition to his role as British prime minister and international statesman – invoked the term in 1946, in a speech given in Missouri, with American president Harry Truman in attendance: “…an iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe […]

All are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow.” Use examples of Cold War era art and compare it to present-day propaganda art and posters. How has the art from the Cold War continued to shape politics in times of conflict?

Business Ethics

Business Ethics are moral standards of conduct expected of a business by society. Social Responsibility involves the philosophies, policies, procedures, and actions that have the primary goal of enhancing society. Let us apply the concepts.

CASE ASSIGNMENT:

2.)What actions of organizations fall under the umbrella of “corporate social responsibility”? Give three examples of CSR activities beyond what you have learned from TOMS and the organization you discussed in this assignment.

3.)Is it expected that successful organizations also have a CSR component in its values? Discuss by giving two additional employer examples.

What are the factors that create these differences in perceptions from person to person? Do these differences in perception indicate differences in reality? Can we be confident that our perceptions reflect reality?

Your perception

The systems responsible for sensation are remarkably similar from one person to another, but each person uniquely experiences sensory input. Perception of the same event is likely to be different for different people. For example, water that is too hot for one person may be just right for another. The volume of sound at a concert may be painfully loud for one person but enjoyable for another.

• What are the factors that create these differences in perceptions from person to person?

• Do these differences in perception indicate differences in reality?

• Can we be confident that our perceptions reflect reality?
