Sociology

By using the 8 Basic Steps in Sociological Research, develop a question/hypothesis and answer it. 

           

 Remember Sociologists use a number of different methods or research designs to gather data. These include surveys, participant observation, secondary analysis, document reviews, unobtrusive measures and experiments.

 

Additionally, there are ethical considerations that are a fundamental concern: these include honesty, truth, openness, and protecting subjects from harm. Another concern is that social research should be value free.

And keep in mind sociologists stress replication, the repetition of a study by others to compare results. Values present a second dilemma in that research is conducted to solely analyze basic sociology or is it to reform social arrangements?

 

You must present a typed, size 12 font Microsoft word document to me either electronically (via email) . This document should reflect all the process of your study including your research and findings. Remember to include any literature you utilized in both footnoting and bibliography. This project is worth 20% of your final grade and should reflect that type of effort.
