Individual Discussion Board Questions:

1.) Does the assignment of responsibility for public things to  specific individuals prohibit others from taking responsibility as  Babbie (2020) contends? Why or why not? What have your experiences with  this social phenomenon taught you?

2.) Describe the problem of reactivity and being a complete observer.  What are some of the consequences associated with the problem? Why is  it important to not just learn about others’ views but also to adopt  them? Would this be easy for you to do? Why or why not? What are some of  the potential dangers that might be involved?

3.) What are some research topics that might be prone to a content  analysis? Now, take one of these topics and describe just how you would  go about conducting a content analysis. Make sure to address your  unit(s) of analysis, unit(s) of observation, sampling technique(s), and  coding scheme(s).

4.) Scholars may rely on official government documents to conduct  comparative analyses. Do you foresee any issues with utilizing this data  source? For example, is there a possibility for distortion? Why or why  not? Provide some evidence to substantiate your reasoning.
