Assignment 1: Stereotypes Set by Culture and Society(SOC)

/in /by

Sociology came into existence in the 19th century to explain the enormous changes occasioned by the Industrial Revolution, urbanization, and an individualistic mind-set. Unlike agrarian communities, the emerging urban populations were large, numbering in the tens of thousands.
These city dwellers neither grew their own food nor knew each other. In characterizing individuals, they found it convenient to speak in categories or stereotypes. According to the structural-functional perspective, stereotypes served an important communication function, helping them to compare and contrast groups.
The social-conflict perspective, on the other hand, argues that stereotypes serve the needs of those groups and categories benefitting from social inequality. Stereotypes help dominant groups to contrast social categories and to justify subordinating the less powerful. Furthermore, by lumping subordinate groups into faceless statistical categories, members of the dominant group dissipate the guilt they would have felt were they dealing with the subordinate categories as individuals.
Based on your readings, the online lectures, and your understanding of the above-noted issues, prepare a response to the following question:
Is it possible to speak of ethnic groups in America in terms other than stereotypes?
Create a response in 3 paragraphs to the discussion question. Cite sources and include references in your response

Reflect upon the Merits and Ethical Dilemmas of Three Classic Psychology Experiments

/in /by

Activity Description
Begin by selecting three classic psychology experiments from the provided list below. All of these were conducted prior to the establishment of Institutional Review Boards. Conduct a search for scholarly resources that provide an overview of the experiment and the identified
controversy.
Harlow’s Rhesus Monkey Experiments
Johnson’s The Monster Study
Landis’ Facial Expressions Experiment
Money’s David Reimer Experiment
Seligman’s Learned Helplessness Experiment
Sherif’s Robber Cave Experiment
Watson’s Little Albert Experiment
Weigh the merits of the three classic psychology experiments that you selected from this list. Briefly, summarize the three experiments.
Explain the intent of each experiment and its key findings. Then, determine how each experiment contributes to your understanding of human behavior. What influence does or could this experiment have on psychology today?
Drawing on the skill builders for this week, identify at least three major ethical issues that exist in each experiment. Assess whether the experiment could be conducted today as it was originally presented. Explain what changes would be required to ensure that the research would be conducted according to today’s professional standards.
Support your paper with reference to five research articles published in peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly sources. You are encouraged to dig a bit deeper to locate seminal articles that are older and critical to your paper. Use your judgment to determine the appropriate resources that best support your paper.

Analyze the demands and growing trends in new diseases (e.g., heart disease and cancer) affecting the present U.S. population.

Demographic Distribution, Mortality Trends, and Access to Health Care Services.
Analyze the growing consumer demographics in a diverse U.S. society in terms of consumer satisfaction with health care services, and provide a rationale for the use of present health services in today’s diverse demographical social framework. (This is an interesting topic and I look forward to the discussion. The United States is a diverse country and one size does not fit all. For example, in Florida the demographics are older folks, whereas Alaska, the demographics are diverse and very rural).
Analyze the demands and growing trends in new diseases (e.g., heart disease and cancer) affecting the present U.S. population. Summarize the impact of these demands on available health services. (There are too many examples to list for this discussion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. The one demand on health care that is in the media is Ebola and the respiratory virus that has killed several children. There is also the swine flu, sexually transmitted disease, chronic disease).
Analyze the mortality trends in the U.S. and compare the demographic distribution associated with these trends. Evaluate the importance of society’s role in promoting a healthy lifestyle, as well as adopting lifestyle choices. (This will be an interesting discussion. For example, in the 1950s before the polio vaccine was discovered, most children either died or had a physical impediment. I look forward to the discussion.)
