It is mid-December and you run into a friend during your holiday shopping. He
states that he has been successful this year in the stock market but is worried
about the constant changes in the tax laws – particularly with the changes that
may be new for the following year. What advice would you give someone, such as
your friend from this scenario, based solely on the material in the text
regarding his options for the sale of the stock. Discuss the potential tax
consequences that could result by deferring the sale of stock into a different
tax year. Be specific with your recommendations

Sociology Essay VERY EASY

*****NO PLAGIARISM PLEASE. WILL RESULT IN A WITHDRAWAL******

For this extra credit assignment, view the TED Talk below. All too frequently, women who are victims of domestic violence are often thought of as ‘liking’ a life of domestic violence, otherwise, why would they stay in a violent relationship? I co-taught a domestic violence training several years ago for a large group of social service professionals and we asked this question, “Why do you think women stay in violent relationships.” Several people in the training audience suggested that women who stay must like it because there are so many services and programs available to help them leave. For this assignment, use your sociological imagination to discuss the topic of ‘why women stay’. Remember that C.W. Mills’ “sociological imagination” focuses on the capability of making a connection of personal troubles to larger and unavoidable public issues. This term is a kind of outlook on the world that allows one to look beyond the circumstances of the individual and see the effects of larger historical and social factors (Mills, 1959: The Promise). Also include two (2) of the four (4) sociological perspectives from this course (Functionalist, Conflict, Symbolic Interactionism and Feminist) to further support the points made using the sociological imagination. End your discussion by proposing a solution you feel might work, supporting Leslie Morgan Steiner’s proposed solution, or you could discuss/critique solutions that are already in place.

Please type this extra-credit using 12-font, double-spaced, between 1 ½ and no more than 2-pages in length.

Additionally, please provide two resources with 24-hour hotlines for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault.

Your work should be free of misspelled words and it should be grammatically correct.

Leslie Morgan Steiner was in “crazy love” — that is, madly in love with a man who routinely abused her and threatened her life. Steiner tells the dark story of her relationship, correcting misconceptions many people hold about victims of domestic violence, and explaining how we can all help break the silence.
