Introduction Begin your paper by briefly describing the current event you chose: Who was involved? What happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Then briefly state which three theories from Chapters 1-8 apply to the event and why –no more than two sentences per theory. End with a brief description of a social research project you think should be conducted to determine which of the three theories best explains the event –no more than four sentences.

A‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ttached are some pictures of the textbook to use for some references. For some reason it wont upload. I also uploaded a picture of it in case you have access to it. Assignment Title: Mid-Term Paper: Apply Basic Sociological Theories and Methods to a Current Event Purpose: The main purpose of this essay is to allow you to demonstrate mastery of the theories, perspectives, and social research methods presented in the first half of the course by selectively applying them to a current event. Instructions: Pre-Writing Look online or at a library (such as Brandman University’s virtual library https://www1.chapman.edu/library/centers/) for a current event covered by a credible news media source. For this assignment, a current event is any specific occurrence from the past six months that has a social, political, cultural, or economic impact on the nation, state, or world. Examples include any news related to recent elections or voting; a new state or federal law, bill, or policy; an important rally, protest, or gathering; or a new cultural phenomenon sweeping the state, nation, or world. Credible news media sources include: The New York Times The Washington Post The Wall Street Journal The Guardian The Economist USA Today Google News Bloomberg The New Yorker Major news networks (such as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, NPR, and PBS ) This list of credible news media sources is based on Business Insider’s October 2014 list of most trusted news sources ( If you are not sure whether a news media source is credible or not, or whether a recent occurrence counts as a current event, please check with your instructor. Next, select three theories you read about in Weeks 1-4 of this course that you believe apply well to the event you chose. You may want to take notes on how each theory can be applied in interpreting the event. Your last pre-writing step is thinking of a social research project you could conduct to determine which of the three theories best explains the event. Whom or what would you sample for the research? What data collection method would you use and why? Section 1: Introduction Begin your paper by briefly describing the current event you chose: Who was involved? What happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Then briefly state which three theories from Chapters 1-8 apply to the event and why –no more than two sentences per theory. End with a brief description of a social research project you think should be conducted to determine which of the three theories best explains the event –no more than four sentences. Section 2: First Theory Analyze and interpret the current event according to one of the three theories you chose from Chapters 1-8. How does this theory help to explain the occu‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌rrence of the event? Section 3: Second Theory Analyze and interpret the current event according to another of the three theories you chose from Chapters 1-8. How does this theory help to explain the occurrence of the event? Compare what this second theory helps us understand about the event with what the first theory you wrote about helps us understand. Section 4: Third Theory Analyze and interpret the current event according to the third and final theory you chose from Chapters 1-8. How does this theory help to explain the occurrence of the event? Compare what this third theory helps us understand about the event with what both the first and second theories you wrote about help us understand. Section 5: Proposed Research Propose a research project that would help determine which of the three theories you wrote about best explains the current event. Whom or what would you sample for the research? Why? What data collection method would you use? Why? In explaining your choices, be sure to discuss how they will help determine the best theory for interpreting the current event. Section 6: Conclusion What do you expect the specific results of your proposed research project to be? How will these results help to determine which of the three theories you chose best explains the occurrence of the current event? Assignment Checklist -Make sure the essay is 6-8 pages (11 or 12 point standard font –Times New Roman or Arial– double spaced) in APA format. The cover sheet and reference sheet do not count toward the page total. -Be sure your introduction begins with a brief description of a current event from a credible news media source. -Be sure your introduction briefly mentions three theories that apply to the current event and why you chose these theories. -Please end your introduction with with a brief description of a social research project that could help determine which of the three theories best explains the event. -Make sure the next three sections explain how each of the three theories you chose help to explain the current event –one section per theory– and that the second and third sections compare the theories discussed thus far, in terms of how they help us understand the event. -Check to see that your next section describes a research project that would help determine which of the three theories best explains the current event. -Also, check to see that this section describes the sample and data collection method for this proposed research. -The section on your proposed research should additionally describe how the sample and data collection method help to determine which of the three theories best explains the current event. Check to see that your conclusion predicts the specific results of your proposed research as well as how these results will help to determine the best theory for explaining the current‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ event.

Book Review Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Robert Pirsig. Perennial Classics ISBN 9780060839871.

The paper must be at least ten complete double-spaced pages. When I say “complete,” I mean make sure that your last page, your tenth page, is a full page. Anything less than this will significantly work against your grade. If you write more than ten pages, this is great; I will read and consider papers longer than the minimum. The reason I ask for ten pages is that this is a requirement of the Department of English for any 4000-level literature course. You should use the default Word settings: 12 point type, Times New Roman. If you want, you can use the 11 point type that is in Calibri. You need to have 1-inch margins on all sides. This is probably what you have set up in your default settings for Word. Please do not send me a PDF file.
You do not need a cover page. Just put your name, the date, the course number, and my name at the top of your first page. Then skip two spaces, provide a title, then skip two more spaces, and start your essay. You do not need a work-cited page and I ask that you use our book and no other sources. The questions I have asked you to consider on the Major Assignments’ links to three books we have read and the discussions we have been having.
Please write your paper in an academic style—we can take some liberties in the on-line environment. Perhaps some of the best models of writing are the discussion postings by your colleagues that I have posted in the Announcements section. You can use “I” in your paper, but only do it if you really need to.
As a rule of thumb, I would say that your paper will be well-served if about fifteen percent of it consists of quotes from ’s novel. Any more suggests that Chiang, Pirsig, or DeLillo is writing your paper. Any less suggests that you are not demonstrating that you are really focused on the text. However, this is a rule of thumb, so do not think that it has to be exactly fifteen percent.
Many of you have already demonstrated that you know how to quote from texts very well. When you use a quote from the novel, make sure that you explain its value to your argument in your own words—please do not assume that any quote, however apt, will explain what you are thinking. This is your paper, so please make the quotes work for you. Contextualize the text you choose to write about for your own purposes.

Things to be thinking about as you read Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (ZAMM). How can you shape them into a thesis for your papers?

1. Examine the activity/metaphor of motorcycle maintenance. How does Pirsig use it to allow us to better understand the problems we might face? Why is it particularly suited to Pirsig’s needs? How might we employ it when we do our own technical writing, literary criticism, or creative writing?

2. How does the concept of journey fit into ZAMM? Pirsig could have sat in his living room or office and just told us his thoughts about Zen, contemporary culture, Western philosophy, and technical writing, but he chose to take us along with him on a trip as he explicated his ideas. Does this better allow Pirsig to engage us? How?

3. Define Pirsig’s concept of Quality. Does it change the way you think about the ways you understand and organize the world (“the world”)? How might it fit in with some of the ideas you might have run across in DeLillo’s White Noise? If you limit your understanding of Quality to just something that is better than another thing, this is not what Pirsig is getting at. There is something new that can be riveting and/or shocking and/or beautiful and memorable and it is something that cannot be defined with a rigid set of rules, yet we know there is something extraordinary about it.

4. How does Phaedrus challenge our more traditional notions of academic rationality (i.e., the Church of Reason) in ZAMM? Think of another class you took where you could use Phaedrus’ challenges. How might you have confronted the professor in this class?

5. Is it really possible to find the Buddha that exists within analytic thought? The gears of a motorcycle? The A 13 Bionic chip on a cellphone? How does one do this?

6. How do the descriiptions of the scenery in ZAMM better allow Pirsig to make his philosophical points?

7. Why is it impossible to describe a real Quality event? How does it differ from describing it in a Chautauqua?

8. Characterize the dilemma that produces Phaedrus’ insanity? Does one have to go insane to understand/see what Phaedrus saw? Why?

9. What does “gumption” mean? How can we use this in our own work as technical writers, creative writers, literary scholars, or any other profession? If you write about gumption, you will need to tie it in to the other parts of ZAMM.

Family Caregiver Assessment Assignment

S‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌tudents will identify a family caregiver from their professional or personal experience and conduct an interview. The family caregiver should be an unpaid, informal caregiver taking care of a loved one. For example, you could interview a spouse/partner caring for his or her spouse/partner or an adult child taking care of a parent, etc. The student will write a 7-page paper assessing the bio-psycho-social situation of the caregiver and make recommendations for interventions as appropriate. In addition to the narrative discussion you have with the caregiver as described in the assignment guidelines, please select one standardized measure discussed in Gaugler, Kane and Langlois (2000) and administer the instrument during your interview. In your paper, please discuss your findings and provide a written argument for why you selected the measure you used. Please protect the caregiver’s confidentiality by not including his/her name in your paper. You should complete this assignment independently, without consulting other members in the class. The assessment will address the following: Part 1: Summary of caregiving relationship/situation Include the demographics of the caregiver–Age, gender, ethnic background, relationship status, children (living, deceased), employment status, educational level, living arrangements. Include the social functioning of the caregiver–Identify social and support systems and person’s ability to participate within these systems. Describe a typical day for this person. Part 2: Assessment: The interview should include open-ended and close-ended questions to assess the following pieces of information: Type (tasks) and frequency of care provided; Skills necessary to provide the care; Additional responsibilities or stressors that affect care provision; What formal services are received; Your assessment of the caregiver’s overall health status (mental and physical); Values and preferences of the care recipient and caregiver (including culture, spirituality, and/or religion) Your assessment of how able the caregiver is to continue with care; and What additional formal services may be needed. Include your impressions and recommendations regarding interventions– how do you think the caregiver is doing, what concerns you have that maybe the caregiver did not mention, and include possible interventions or services to address concerns/problems, including enhancing current services to meet the need. Include one standardized measure discussed in Gaugler, Kane and Langlois (2000) and administer the instrument during your interview– discuss your findings and provide a written argument for why you selected the measure you used. Grading: View the rubric for additional information about components of the paper and how you will be graded.

Discuss on famous psychological behavior modification experiment

Discuss on famous psychological behavior modification experimentBehavior modification experiments have been both interesting and controversial. From Pavlov’s dogs, to Jones’ Peter and the rabbit, Watson’s Little Albert experiment, and Skinner’s boxes, famous behavior modification projects have taught us a great deal about human behavior. However, the methods used to modify the subjects’ behavior have often raised questions regarding psychological ethics.

For this assignment, you will select one famous psychological behavior modification experiment to study. Research the experiment, then write an essay answering the following questions:

Who conducted the experiment?
When and where was the experiment conducted?
Who or what were the subjects or participants of the experiment?
How was the experiment conducted?
What type of learning was demonstrated in the experiment?
What conclusions did the experimenter(s) draw?
How did the experiment contribute to the field of Behavioral Psychology?
Was the experiment ethical? Why or why not?
What did you learn from studying the experiment that you can apply in your personal, professional, or social life?
Your paper should be 3 to 5 pages in length (not including the cover page or reference page), formatted in APA style, and include at least three references, also formatted in APA style. Use the CARS checklist to make sure the sources you use are Credible, Accurate, Reasonable, and Supported. (You do not have to turn in the checklists along with your paper.) You may use this template to complete your assignment.
