Read and follow the following directions.

Follow the rules for writing in this class: 12 point font, single space, one inch margins all around.
Proofread and revise your work to minimize errors, especially No Excuse Errors.
You can express opinions, but only after you have established that you know the material. The course is not really about opinions.
Draw only on course materials. Do not use outside sources. There is a plagiarism detector built into BB and it is activated. Using outside sources is an automatic fail. Using outside sources indicates that you have not read the course material. 
Quote as little as possible. Some people have quoted definitions from Conley or other materials only to demonstrate in their answers that they do not understand  the material. Using quotes lowers your grade.
Each of your answers should be 250-350 words. Get in touch with me if you don’t know how to track your word count.
At the top left of the first page include, on separate lines, your name, the date, Assignment 3.
Save the document as: your last name_102-004_Assignment 3. Save it as a Word or rtf document.
When you have finished the assignment, scroll down to Attach Files, click on Browse My Computer, and attach the file.
Answer these questions:

1. What is the Paradox Animation for chapter 6 in Conley? Explain it and give an example.

2. During McMillan’s stint in California’s Central Valley, she found the work and conditions grueling. What are some of the advantages she had over her co-workers? What insights did you learn about the American farm worker? (This is question #8 from discussion questions posted by Monroe County Community College in Monroe, Michigan.)

3. Think about one of the groups of people McMillan worked with in farming and explain their situation, using their names. Focus on a specific group. Explain their circumstances and what you saw as most important about them.

4. To talk about the rich and the poor and how society is economically stratified seems like the job of economists. Why would sociologists be interested in stratification and inequality? How does a better understanding of stratification contribute to the well-being of society?

Paper Structure
I. Introduction/background (approximately 300 words)
This part of the paper should contain a short history of the topic you have chosen. This may
include the origins of the name, early observations of the phenomenon, and/or important people
who contributed most significantly to what is known. You could also briefly discuss what
interested you about your chosen topic.
II.State of the science (approximately 300 words)
In this section I expect a description of the important biological aspects of the topic. How does
it work? Describe the mechanism of the disease and/or the key aspects of the
biology/physiology/ecology being discussed.
III. Future directions (approximately 300 words)
Finally, discuss the limitations of what is known about the topic and/or what scientists are trying
to find out or develop. Examples would include aspects of biology or physiology that are not
understood and things being done to deal with a problem/disease.
References (not part of the 1000 words!)
Last page on your paper is the Reference page. (Only include the references you used in your
paper).
The REFERENCES page is alphabetized according to the authors last name. Each reference
usually has the following: author, year of publication, title of book or article (Capitalize
only the first word of the title), volume numbers or page numbers and publication data.
Notice that if one citation takes up more than one line, the remaining lines in that citation are
indented by an inch. This is called a hanging indent. Please consult the Citation handout for
more information. Also, dont use a period at the end of a web address.
Reference materials related to your topic should be from 2 different sources, i.e. textbooks,
scientific publications/journals, internet, newspaper, magazine etc. The reference articles must be
published within the last five years.
