Individual and sociological explanations for select family issues

/in /by

The was an article that ran on Monday, July 30th in the New York Times regarding the father in New York who unfortunately forgot his children in the car while he went to work. The article was not specifically about the story and all its details, it was about the wife’s response to the tragedy. She plead for her husbands to be spared for the awful event. Marissa A. Rodriguez stated, “I need him by my side to go through this together.” (Fitzsimmons and Hard 2019) The two have other children to raise and I think I understand her perspective.

The article was written individual explanations intended because it was providing information of how the mother felt. The author did relate some statistical data from the New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services on children and locked cars. I feel that there may be an underlying issue in the article if you look further, as a mother would you be able to forgive your husband for such a tragedy. Should he be charged with a crime even though, it implied that it was unintentional? I feel that this will be a tough situation for this family to get through, but the media will not make things any better.

2. Briefly describe a news story regarding a current family issue (provide link).  Do they use individual explanations or sociological/historical explanations to explain the issue?

In an article by CNN reporter Brenna Williams, a brief accumulation of historical information on interracial marriage, the Racial Integrity Act, 14th Amendment, and Mildred and Richard Loving is provided. To start, the author writes of Mildred and Richard Loving’s Supreme Court case—which ruled that miscegenation laws are unconstitutional. In fact, the justices went as far as ruling that the purpose of such laws were rooted in racism. It is also noted that it wasn’t until the year 2000, that the final state, Alabama, banned its miscegenation laws. The author also wrote that as a result Mr. and Mrs. Loving’s marriage, they were to be sentenced to either a year in prison or face a 25-year banishment from Virginia. Brenna also noted that that the Racial Integrity Act defined anyone who wasn’t entirely white as “colored”, and was put in place to prevent any form of “interracial mixing”. Overall, the article touches on several historical explanations in discussing interracial marriage.

As we learned in our reading, acceptance of interracial marriage is increasing in the United States—but still represents only a small portion of total marriages (Desmond and Emirbayer, 2010, p. 462). The stress and obstacles interracial couples face continue today, and understanding the historical context is crucial in helping ensure they are no longer discriminated against.

My Sociological Autobiography

/in /by

(50 points)

Purpose:  The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to think sociologically about your own life.  This is an opportunity for you to demonstrate cumulative knowledge of sociology from throughout the course and to apply this way of thinking to your own experiences.

Assignment:  Write a professional 5-7-page paper typed and double-spaced.  The paper should cover the topics below.

We are who we are because of our experiences in the social world.  Think back on your own life experiences.  Write about one or more aspects of your life and interpret from a sociological perspective.  You don’t have to tell your whole life story; most effective papers focus only on one or more specific aspects of your life.  Try to distance yourself and approach your life as a detached observer might.  Your job is to examine the role of external social forces in shaping your life.  You may also discuss your own individual agency, but this should be in reference to social forces and how agency and social forces work together. Be specific, using concrete examples and social events/occurrences. You should discuss personal events, but focus on how these events illustrate sociological concepts and tie into bigger social issues.  Use concepts from class to explain how your life is shaped by society. In other words, narrate your life story using sociological language.  Your goal is to make connections between private experiences and public issues. You should conduct additional research to see if you are an outlier or if your experiences are similar to other patterns noted by social scientists.  Cite all your sources. 

Drafts:  I expect a well written, sociologically thoughtful paper.  How the writing is organized, style, and grammar will all be important parts of making this paper successful.  I highly encourage you to write more than one (and probably several) drafts of the paper, read and re-write, before submitting.  If you would like feedback, I would be very glad to review your paper in advance of the deadline and to provide detailed comments and suggestions. (please submit at least one week early) Details & Grading:  The details of what I’m looking for in this assignment are noted in the rubric (Links to an external site.).  The paper will be graded according to this rubric. I encourage you to carefully consider this rubric (Links to an external site.) as you write and edit your paper.

Operations Management assignment 4

/in /by

Read the “Beck Manufacturing” case study:

Beck Manufacturing

Al Beck, president of Beck manufacturing, wants to determine the capacity of his facility, which produces steering gears for auto manufacturers. He has asked you to sort through the data and determine the capacity of the system and how that capacity may be increased. The operation is a product layout that produces large numbers of nearly identical products. The process includes milling, grinding, boring, drilling, and assembling, in that order. Each finished product requires one operation on each type of machine. For example, each finished part is processed on one of the five milling machines, one of the seven grinding machines, etc.

The facility runs two 8-hour shifts per day, with a third shift for maintenance. The industrial engineering department has provided you with the following data on present operations. In addition, you have been told that assembly operations, while not unlimited, can be easily changed to meet the need.

Operation Number of Machines Run Time per Piece (min.) % Reject Rate
Milling 5 2    3
Grinding 7 3    5
Boring 3 1    2
Drilling 6 2.5    7
       

In a three double spaced paged paper address the following:

  1. Calculate the capacity of each machine center and the capacity of the system.
  2. Analyze where the focus of the company’s efforts should be if Beck wants to expand capacity. Determine how much extra capacity he can get without causing another operation to become the bottleneck.
  3. Suggest ways Beck can expand capacity without purchasing new equipment.

Your paper should be in paragraph form (avoid the use of bullet points) and supported with the concepts outlined with additional scholarly sources

Submit your three double spaced paper (not including the title and reference pages). Your paper must be formatted according to APA style and must cite at least four scholarly sources in addition to the textbook.

Inequality for All Film Analysis

/in /by

5-6 pages (25 points)

For this assignment students will need to view the film Inequality for All and actively note take. Please follow general formatting guidelines found in your syllabus and spend ample time organizing your ideas to ensure you are engaging with the content thoughtfully.  Students will need to conduct additional research on the various viewpoints presented in the film to gain a greater understanding of the complexities involved.   Please cite all sources using APA guidelines.

Film Overview 

 Questions to Consider:

What are the main ideas found in the film?  Whose perspectives are being framed? How is this different from other information you have heard about social class in America? What parts of the film were most relatable to the content found in our course?  Do you believe the filmmakers presented the topic in a manner that is fair to all sides? Was the content consistent with your perceptions of social class in America? Where have you previous received your information on social class issues? What parts of the film were surprising to you?  Why is it getting harder and harder for the middle class to survive?

Digging Deeper:

Provide additional resources to support your responses and cite all sources.

Opponents of the film have tried to label Reich as a communist/socialist/Marxist.  Why do you believe they chose these particular labels?

 Reich says “The question is not inequality per se; the question is when does inequality become a problem?”. In your own words when do you think inequality becomes a problem?

Reich asks, “How much inequality can Americans tolerate and still have a functioning democracy?  What do you see as the relationship between inequality and democracy?
