NTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGYRESPONSE PAPER #
1Response paper #1 .For this assignment you are to choose a topic that would be of interest to study in the field of sociology.You will not actually research the topic
this semester, but it is important to consider the process of initiating a project. Lecture notes and your textbook would be good places to start looking for a
possible topic.Each of the following questions should be answered for this assignment. Each question is worth 10 points. Be sure to include a title page, use 12 point
font or higher, double-space, and staple. If you submit the assignment as an attachment via Canvas, be sure to consult the syllabus for attachment types that I am able
to access. Remember to use academic language in your response. Writing in first person is fine. This assignment should be written in paragraph form. No outside sources
are required, if you choose to use a source other than the textbook or class notes you should cite that source in APAformat. I am more concerned with content than with
number of pages, however, for those of you that need a page range, these tend to be 3-4 pages in length.1.Pick a topic, why did you choose this topic, are there issues
with value neutrality?2.Operationally define your topic.3.What type of sample would you use, who would you involve, why?4.How would you access your sample, possible
complications?5.What type of methodology would you employ, explain?6.Describe your variables, dependent and independent. Spurious variable concerns?7.Is your study
