By using the 8 Basic Steps in Sociological Research, develop a question/hypothesis and answer it. This will be due and results will be presented by you in class.
Remember Sociologists use a number of different methods or research designs to gather data. These include surveys, participant observation, secondary analysis, document reviews, unobtrusive measures and experiments.
Additionally, there are ethical considerations that are a fundamental concern: these include honesty, truth, openness, and protecting subjects from harm. Another concern is that social research should be value free.
And keep in mind sociologists stress replication, the repetition of a study by others to compare results. Values present a second dilemma in that research is conducted to solely analyze basic sociology or is it to reform social arrangements?
You must present a typed, size 12 font Microsoft word document to me either electronically (via email) . This document should reflect all the process of your study including your research and findings. Remember to include any literature you utilized in both footnoting and bibliography.
