hoose two separate cultures or subcultures to compare and contrast. Examples could be India and the United States or Gothics and Emos. Once you decide which cultures/subcultures you will research, use relevant keywords in your library search.

For this assignment you will learn what makes each culture and subculture unique. Sociologists use the “components of culture” in order to identify cultures and subcultures. The components of culture are language, material objects, behaviors, and symbols. For this assignment, you will use existing resources to compare and contrast two different cultures or subcultures. Information about the components of culture and different cultures/subcultures can be found using the textbook, online materials, and the South University Online Library.

Below you will find a step-by-step guide for completing this paper:

  • Make certain you have read the chapter “Culture,” in Sociology in our Times.
  • Choose two separate cultures or subcultures to compare and contrast. Examples could be India and the United States or Gothics and Emos. Once you decide which cultures/subcultures you will research, use relevant keywords in your library search.
  • Compare and contrast these two cultures/subcultures, specifically analyzing the components of culture (language, material objects, behaviors, and symbols.)
  • Be sure to include an introduction with a thesis, conclusion that reviews all main points you present, and integration of your personal views on the topic.

Remember to use APA format 7TH EDITION  for the essay style as well as in-text citations and when listing the references. Submit your 2–5-page essay (maximum 12 pt. font)

Stress Case Study

Directions: Choose one of the case studies below. Use the information presented to complete the assignment for Topic 3.

Case Study 1

Julie is a 42-year-old female who is reporting headaches, difficulty sleeping, and has developed several viral infections over the last few months. She has been to see her regular doctor who suggested she talk to a counselor. Julie reports high levels of stress at her job. Her department is understaffed and operating under tight deadlines. Julie has been working extra hours to help meet those deadlines. At home, Julie finds herself exhausted and fighting with her husband. Her children, ages 9, 7, and 3 have begun acting out and she reports that she is shorter-tempered with them than usual. Julie’s mother is 79 and fell while getting the mail resulting in a broken hip. While she is out of the hospital, she needs rides to physical therapy and assistance around her house.

Case Study 2

Claire is a 20-year-old college junior. She recently transferred to a school 3 hours away from home to attend their nursing program. Her schoolwork is demanding, and, being a transfer student, she has found it difficult to make friends, as many of her classmates already know each other from freshman year. Her boyfriend of 3 years is living in her hometown, and they do not get to see each as much as they would like. Claire had to quit her job to keep up with her school work, and she does not have any extra money. She can barely pay her rent and afford groceries. Claire has begun having difficulty sleeping, and feels anxious most of the time. She often finds herself crying and, lately, has been having a lot of stomach pain.

Case Study 3

Joseph is a 63-year-old man who recently retired. While he was looking forward to retirement, he now is unsure of how to fill the hours in the day. He worries constantly about finances and checks his bank account multiple times a day. He spends a great deal of time looking for ways to save money, as he fears his retirement will run out. Joseph’s wife of 30 years is not used to having him around the house so much, and they are constantly arguing. Joseph has begun experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath.

3. English

In this unit, we have focused on revising and editing; understanding expectations; gaining perspective on your writing; ways to outline your paper; the importance of keeping the reader in mind; and how you can best read, process, and respond to feedback. Part of the revision process is sharing with others about what you have experienced. You never know what might help others in their process. Further, sometimes it can help you to better understand and reflect upon your process when you have the opportunity to write it down.

For this unit’s discussion, consider the process you have gone through as you revised your paper so far—the introduction and literature review. What have you found to be most helpful for you? What would you share with others about your process? What techniques, tips, and methods have you used to help the process go more smoothly for you? You can also describe methods that were not as helpful to you and what you would like to do in the future that you think might be better.

4. English

In this unit, we discussed the creation of body paragraphs for your research paper. You should have a good idea of what your revised thesis statement will look like, the points that you want to include, and the evidence you will use to support those points.

Let’s take just a moment and think about the process so far. Feel free to use this writing as a reflection upon what you have experienced so far in the course. You might want to consider some of the questions below, but you are not required to answer them. Remember, as always, that this discussion should be a positive and constructive experience for everyone. The idea is that you reflect upon the process so that you understand it, understand yourself as a new student writer, and understand the challenges and successes you experience.

What do you think is your strongest point? What do you think is your weakest? Do you think the scope of your project is narrowed down efficiently? How are you feeling about the process? What do you think about the structure of the body paragraphs? Does the structure seem too restrictive or helpful and guiding? Looking back on some of the materials that you have read, can you see the structures that we have discussed in the course so far? Do you see differences between academic and public sources in terms of how the paragraphs are constructed?

5. Economics for Managers

Explain the different types of price discrimination. Then identify a real-world example of price discrimination (preferably not one from the unit lesson), and explain which type of price discrimination it is. Next, using the good from your chosen price discrimination as an example, illustrate how the good fits the criteria necessary for successful price discrimination. Finally, discuss how the price discrimination example leads to an increase in total benefit to society. Have you ever paid a higher price for something than somebody else did? Ever pay a lower price? How did those experiences make you feel?

6. Economics for Managers

Identify a situation that involves making decisions using expected value, and detail the different options, expectations, and payouts. Discuss the risks involved with those expectations and, if applicable, the payouts. Include in your discussion an explanation of how to determine how much information to gather to minimize uncertainty. Finally, explain which decision should be made.

7. Principles of Economics

Part II: What factors do you take into account when you are choosing which of your wants you will try to satisfy, and how you will go about satisfying them (be sure to read Chapters 1 and 2 before answering)?

8. Principles of Economics

How would the various factors that cause shifts in the supply curve, such as technology and prices of resources, influence each other?

9. Into to Criminal Justice

Part II: On page 18 of your textbook, a long list of criminal justice careers is provided. Select one, and provide some information about it. Why did you select this? Are you currently employed in this field? If yes, what suggestions would you provide for those wanting to enter this field?

10. Intro to Criminal Justice

This unit covered quite a few of the insanity defenses. Of these, which does your state use (see p. 83)? Also, do you think this insanity defense is appropriate compared to the other options? Why? If your state does not allow an insanity defense, which defense do you think would be appropriate for your state, and why?

11. Cognitive PSY

Part 2: Based on the theorists you’ve learned about in this unit, determine which one of the theorists you agree with the most. Discuss specific aspects of the theory that appeals to you.

12. Cognitive PSY

Review the Unit II Lesson Presentation, which was a part of the required unit resources for this unit, and look at each image. After observing each picture, were you able to identify the images in each picture and the alternative images? For example, could you see both the vase and the two faces in one image? How did your visual perception process take place with the pictures of illusion? How did your perceptions differ from your classmates? I couldn’t download PPT but it talks about visual recognition and speech perceptions.
