Essay 2: Research Paper
Students will select a topic of their choice, related to family. Providing support for their argument, select one issue that you feel has the greatest influence on contemporary families.
Examples:
Income Inequality
Decreased Marriage Rates
Affordable Childcare
Maternity/Paternity Leave
Work/Life Balance
Pressures to conform to parenting styles (Concerted Cultivation)
Please run any ideas by me that you feel unsure of, there is no “wrong” topic—however, you must be able to show sociological thought, as well as provide evidence to support your position.
Evidence: Must be research based (Sociological Journal Articles, Books, Organizational Reports—example: https://contemporaryfamilies.org/news/ (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site.). Do not use media resources as your two key sources (news, blogs, etc). The resource should be original, rather than a summary of other’s work. If you locate a summary of other’s work, seek the work out for yourself to consider.
Guidelines: Minimum of TWO academic sources (you may use as many as you want, as well as news/non-academic work beyond your TWO academic sources).
Assignment:
Part 1: Introduction (10 points)
Present the issue: What is it? What are the impacts on Contemporary Families? Has this always been an issue facing families? Provide some historical perspective (using evidence from selected article/s). Use your evidence!
Part 2: Position (5 points)
Describe how the issue impacts contemporary families: What are the consequences? How do families manage? What are your thoughts?
Part 3: Conclusion (10 points)
Provide a solution—keep in mind the Sociological Imagination—anytime we see widespread patterns, individual solutions are not the solution—look to structures (norms, laws, etc). Imagine you have the power to enact change—you must present a reasonable argument to support your position, as well as a solution to the issue (it can be bold, get creative). Individual solutions only will not receive credit.
Format/Appropriate Source (10 points) 2 pages single spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt font, include references in appropriate format, cite all references in text (guide—if you gained the information from another source, cite that source, otherwise you are claiming the information is your own, which may be read as plagiarism). Avoid direct quotes, except where absolutely necessary, always reframe in your own words. Provide reference list.
Spelling/Grammar: 5 points
