2b. How do values, norms, sanctions, folkways, and mores reflect culture?
3a. Write down the steps of the scientific method. Think of a broad topic that you are interested in and which would make a good sociological study—for example, ethnic diversity in a college, homecoming rituals, athletic scholarships, or teen driving. Now, take that topic through the first steps of the process. For each step, write a few sentences.
3b. State what topics are valid for sociologists to study. Furthermore, what is the relationship between theory and research?
4a. Based on your observations, when are adolescents more likely to listen to their parents or to their peer groups when making decisions? What types of dilemmas lend themselves toward one social agent over another?
4b. Use the ideas and research of Cooley (looking-glass self) and Mead (role taking) to explain socialization into the self and mind.
5. Reflection question: As the director of a major sociology research firm, you were just awarded a prestigious grant with enough money and resources to hire a team of researchers. As the unquestioned leader, what sociological topic do you direct your team to investigate/research? Why is this topic important to you? Why does this particular topic resonate with you?
