Sociology


The purpose of this assignment is to help you make connections between the material we are covering in SOCI 1101 and your life. For this assignment, I would like you to select two concepts or issues that were covered in the first half of the course. So far, we have covered the following topics in our class:
Sociological Theories
Research Methods
Culture
Society and Social Interaction
Socialization
Groups and Organizations
Deviance

You may choose any topic or issue covered within these chapters from Units 1 and 2. You will then write a 2–4 page essay or personal letter discussing the relevance of the concepts or issues to your own life OR to the life of a family member or close friend. Choose topics from above that are personally useful and meaningful to you. For your first topic, describe how learning about this topic is useful to your (or your subject’s) life right now. Then choose a topic from above that is personally useful and meaningful to you (it may NOT be the same topic as before). Now, describe how learning about this topic will be beneficial to you (or a family member or close friend) in the future (e.g., education, career, daily life). Finally, explain why someone should learn more about the topics you chose. Be sure to connect the course material covered so far in the course to your life, both now and in the future. However, Am not asking you to summarize the material, just to elaborate on its relevance to your life.

Instructions

Is it wrong to believe in something without truly knowing about it? It is always wrong to believe anything without sufficient evidence?

The Ethics of belief

Is it wrong to believe in something without truly knowing about it? W.K. Clifford believed so. It is always wrong to believe anything without sufficient evidence. A belief could hurt people around you. If a shipowner convinces himself that his unsteady ship is safe, he is in the wrong. Even if the ship sinks or not. If a belief without sufficient evidence is wrong, then to believe in a God with no proof is wrong.
William James does not agree with this claim. He argues that a person does not choose but just has beliefs. When a challenging option comes up, it is better to let our passional nature take over. Moral problems are answered from personal experience and proof of what one believes. Not every question or problem can have a sufficient reasoning and may be better to let your own beliefs take over.

Bernie Madoff essay.  Where is the Money?

Times New Roman 12 Inch Type/ double space/ No more than 30% Turn it in.

 

For this essay, please consider what Madoff did with the billions of dollars that he stole.  Where is it?  Some of the money has been recovered, but most of it has not.  Look at the facts and come to a logical conclusion of three  ways he used the money, and where all of it went.  For example:  Does his family have it?   Is it hidden?  Does he have hidden assets overseas?  Does he have confederates here in the United States who have it?  How did he spend the money?  Your logic is just as valid as another’s logic.  Think about it.

If you wish to arrange the paragraphs differently you may do so, but you must have and introduction and conclusion.    You cannot just say the money is gone.  I want you to think about it.  Develop you paragraphs.  Two sentences are not a paragraph.  You must have parentheses with documentation.  Example (Biography.com)( or (Encyclopedia Britannica.org)

  1. Introduction  = Background of Madoff and what he did before he started his investment firm.  Define and describe a Ponzi Scheme.  This must be documented.
  2. Paragraph II   =  What people and institutions did he get money from?  How Much Money Did Madoff Embezzle?  Give specific examples of people and institutions  document

III.  Paragraph  III = What  did  Madoff do  with the money that we know about and can document.  For example, where did he live?  What did he buy?  (document)

  1. Where is the remainder of the money.  Give specific example of where you think the money is now.  Madoff is in prison, but they have not recovered all the money
  2. Summarize the four paragraphs, and then explain where you think the money is and why you think it is there?  This is a supposition.  No one really knows so far.
  3. Works Cited Page.  This must match your in-text citations.  If you have only two sources, then you can only have two in your works cited page.  This is a separate page.

Words You must use  in the essay:

Con

Con Man
