You are required to respond to at least one discussion prompt from each chapter. Original posts must be created by Friday with responses to at least one of your peers coming no later than Sunday. For modules with multiple chapters, you are required to briefly summarize all chapters covered in the module. For the original post please see the following instructions:
Part I of your discussion board post should begin with a brief (3 – 4 sentences) summary of the reading(s), properly cited, but you should not spend more than a paragraph of your post summarizing, as the real-life application of the material is as important as your summary. Please leave one line as a section break between the summary and part II of the discussion board post.
Part II of the discussion board for the chapter should include answers to any of the discussion prompts you chose to respond to. Answers must be substantive in and utilize the text to supplement the information to address the question. Original posts must be at least 500 words in length. Keep in mind that this is the minimum requirement, and high-quality posts will typically exceed this minimum requirement significantly
You must also respond to at least (1) of your classmates’ posts, in a substantive manner. It is not acceptable to repeat information from your original post in your response post to a classmate. Your response posts should propel the conversation started by your classmate forward. Posts such as, “I agree” or “Hello X, I enjoyed your post,” and so forth will receive no credit. Since response posts are a content-based grade, the length matters less than the content. It would, however, be difficult to earn full credit without writing at least five sentences in a response post.
Chapter 5
Discuss the Asch and Milgram conformity experiments. What if the people in the group already knew each other? Would there be more or less conformity? Discuss the ethical perspective of these experiments. Do students think these experiments were ethical or not?
Provide examples of primary and secondary groups to which you belong. Do the same thing with reference groups. List and describe some of the reference groups that they belong to. How did you choose them, and what functions do they serve? Can a group that you are not a member of be a reference group?
How does sociology benefit from mapping social networks when studying phenomena such as the spread of HIV?
Chapter 6
Discuss groups that are socially deviant but not necessarily criminal. Why do we feel so uncomfortable with groups that don’t apparently conform to social norms?
Imagine that toward the end of a close basketball game, a player accidentally trips another player. The “tripper” hears some unkind words from the opposing team and receives a foul from the referee. The opposing team seemingly loses its focus, and the tripper’s team wins the game. The tripper develops a reputation as a tough player and continues to trip players, sometimes intentionally. Even when the tripper’s contact with other players is accidental, spectators and players think it’s done intentionally. Describe labeling theory and apply it to this example, including the concepts of primary deviancfjke, secondary deviance, and stigma.
