What is informed consent and why is it vitally necessary to the sociological research process? Give examples to illustrate your understanding.
2) In the example discussed on page 22, is the relationship between higher education and higher earnings a causal one, a correlation, or a spurious relationship? How could this be determined using the scientific method? In your response, ask a sociological research question about this relationship, followed by a hypothesis. (Be sure to ask a sociological question about social variables (think race, class, gender, age, etc) and ask how they relate to each other. It cannot be a yes/no question – you may want to review the lecture on methods and questions before completing this question.) Identify the independent and dependent variables in your question, and explain which research method you think would be best to test your hypothesis, and why it would actually be able to answer your question.
