General
goals
and
objectives
of
the
assignment:
The
goal
of
this
assignment
is
to
give
you
at
least
a
bit
of
a
glimpse
into
the
world
of
professional
sociology
through
the
lens
of
peer-‐reviewed
scholarly
journals
(the
type
of
publications
you
find
on
sociologists’
coffee
tables).
Beyond
that,
the
goal
is
to
expose
you
to
current
research
in
general
and
specialized
sociology
journals.
Further,
this
assignment
should
give
you
an
opportunity
to
polish
up
your
skills
of
critical
thinking,
writing,
and
proper
citation.
Your
task
is
to
choose
an
article
of
interest
to
you
that
reports
on
empirical
sociological
research,
or
methods
of
conducting
such
research,
from
one
and
only
one
of
the
peer-‐reviewed
academic
journals
listed
below
(all

The
article
you

may
not
be

abstract
theoretical
piece
or

review
piece
that

old
research
or

book.
Instead,
you

research
done

usings
one,
or

combination
of,
the

0.
Here
is
what
you
ought
to
do:
In
4
to
6
pages,
you
should
first
provide
a
clear
and
concise
overview
or
synopsis
of
the
article.
I
suggest
that
you
follow
the
outline
provided
below
for
a
bit
of
direction.
Outline
for
the
paper:
I) Provide
a
brief
and
concise
introductory
sentence
or
paragaph
that
lays
out
a
general
road
map
of
your
paper
II) Explain
what
the
general
purpose
is
of
the
research
you
are
reporting
on
(i.e.
What
are
the
research
questions?
Hypotheses?)
III) Tell
me
what
theories,
models,
or
concepts
are
discussed
in
the
article.
Provide
a
concise
explanation
of
the
key
theoretical/conceptual
issues
discussed
in
the
piece.
If
the
case
is
that
no
theoretical
or
conceptual
issues
are
discussed
in
the
article,
then
provide
a
discussion
of
what
theories,
models,
or
concepts
from
class
that
might
be
a
good
fit.
IV) Research
Methods
a) Sample/subjects
(Who?
How
Many?
How
were
the
data
obtained?
Where?)
b) Data
collection
method
and
procedures
(Does
the
article
report
on
an
experiment?
Series
of
interviews?
Etcetera.
Provide
me
with
some
details
of
the
data
collection
procedures
utilized)
c) Ethical
issues
d) Measures
and
variables
(What
were
the
major
independent
and
dependent
variables
and
how
were
they
manipulated
or
measured?)
V) Results
(What
are
they
major
sociological
findings
and/or
insights
presented
in
the
discussion
of
the
results?
Where
the
theory/theories
or
hypothesis/hypotheses
supported
or
not?)
VI) Provide
a
summary
or
concluding
paragraph
that
ties
everything
together.
(My
suggestion,
of
course,
is

clear
and
concise
summary
of
the
research
you
reviewed)

Comment [8]: Focus on socialization from the
Symbolic Interactionist paradigm.
Todd � 4/24/13 3:44 PM
Comment [9]: Think about these concepts
carefully for a while. In thinking about the
implications of Mead and Cooley’s work, consider
the content of If Mirrors Could Speak, and the
reasons the film was produced, distributed, and
shown in classrooms in the first place. In general,
look for examples of Mead and Cooley’s concepts in
the creepy social engineering film.
