Help me study for my Sociology class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

The Racial Dot Map displays the patterns of residential segregation found across the country.  First, spend some time exploring the maps, looking at the patterns visible in where people are located.  Then, select any two major US metro areas.  If you are curious about the full technical definition of a metro area, the Census has more information; but if you don’t want to get into the technicalities, just think in terms of what is a core city rather than a suburb. Dallas/Fort Worth is considered one large metro area; you’d look at the whole region rather than looking for patterns just within Arlington or Garland.

Once you’ve selected two major US metro areas, look over the maps again, and identify patterns.  Write out what you see; what trends and patterns do you notice in how the cities you’ve selected are settled?  Compare and contrast as needed.

Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Textbook: Chapter 8

Play from the Internet, YouTube, DVD, iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc.

• 1 primary source (written version of selected play)
• Instructions
  Plays are meant to be performed, rather than read. The purpose of dramatic arts often extends far beyond the words written on a page; staging, lighting, costumes intonation, expression, and audience experience are all part of the experience of a theatrical production. To develop your understanding of the cultural role of the dramatic arts, you will view a production of a play this week and write a reflection to explain your viewing experience. Choose a play that you would like to view and find a version online, YouTube, DVD or iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc. You can also choose to see a play live if you prefer.
• Play Suggestions:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Romeo and Juliet

As You Like It

Taming of the Shrew

The Tempest

• Much Ado About Nothing

The Comedy of Errors

• Macbeth

King Lear

• If you have another idea, please ask your instructor to approve it.

Then, select and address one of the following options:

• Option 1: Write an analysis of the play that you viewed. Include at least one quote from the play in your essay. In your essay, address the following:

Identify the performance that you have selected.

• Describe the staging, lighting, costumes, and characters of the performance. How do these match or revise the written version of the play? You do not need to read the entire play, but you should skim the text.

What type of mood and tone does the performance create? How?

• What parts of the play are easier to understand through performance? What are some details that stood out through performance?

What are your feelings about this performance? What did you take away from viewing it?

• Option 2: Find an adaptation or transformation of a play. Choose an adaptation with some significant differences from the original, such as transposed plots and characters into a variety of different settings and historical contexts. Here are some examples:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream – A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1999) or A Midsummer Night’s DREAM (2018)

• Romeo and Juliet – Romeo + Juliet (1996) or West Side Story (1961) or Romeo Must Die (2000)

If you have another idea, please ask your instructor to approve it.

• Watch the original version and the adapted version. In your essay, address the following:
• How is the adaptation the same as the original? Discuss plot, characters, theme, conflict, language, etc.
• How does the adaptation differ from the original? Discuss setting, time period, characters, plot, language, etc.
• Does the original story translate well in the adaptation? Why or why not? Did the adaptation work in a different setting, time period, etc. Why or why not?
• Why do you think Shakespeare’s plays are adapted so often?

In Topic #2, we looked at the origins and events of the Salem Witchcraft Trials in 1692. This fascinating episode from colonial history served as a great cautionary tale about community fears and the experience of living through the damaging effects of a “witch hunt.” Still today, historians, authors and the general public still probe for answers as to why this event happened in Salem Village.

In this discussion, write two (2) posts where you address any of the following three questions about the Salem Witchcraft Trials or a reply to another student. Your two posts may be answering two of the three questions OR one post that answers one of the three questions and then a reply to another student. Therefore, after your initial post answering one of the three questions, you choose what you want for your second required post – answer to another question or reply to a student. Before writing your 1st post, if you have not already done so, watch and take notes from the online lecture “Colonial New England in the 17th Century” to learn the historical background of colonial New England and the Salem Witchcraft Trials. Then open the Word file found also in the Discussions module that contains articles on the Salem Witchcraft Trials. They are “The Afflicted Girls of Salem Village” by Kathy Weiser and “The Theory That May Explain What Was Tormenting the Afflicted in Salem’s Witch Trials” by Nik DeCosta-Klipa. Read these articles to help decipher reasons for the afflicted girls’ physical symptoms and reasons they accused other villagers of being witches. Understanding the content of these articles are necessary to help formulate your post.

Here are the questions you can address:

1. In general terms, what do you believe are the strengths and shortcomings of ascribing medical explanations to long ago historical figures whom present-day doctors cannot directly diagnose? Do you believe with brilliant insight, it can be effective? Or is at best hit and miss? Or do you believe it to be completely flawed? Can for example, modern-day doctors accurately diagnose if the afflicted girls of Salem Village suffered from stress, epilepsy, ergot poisoning or delusional psychosis?
2. Provide your interpretation why the girls exhibited their physically symptoms and accused others in the community of being witches. Did they appear bored and were looking for attention? Did they appear to be malevolent and vengeful in their accusations? Did they appear really to believe they were under the spell of witches? Did they appear to be acting out in a stressful or repressive environment? Or do you believe this is something unknowable and why? Provide your best support and insight to the position you decide to take incorporating if you like from Kathy Weiser’s brief biographies of the afflicted Salem Village girls.
3. After reading the central ideas to Nik DeCosta-Klipa’s “mass conversion disorder” theory, do you believe this disorder may be a compelling reason to explain the afflicted girls’ behavior? Why or why not? Build your position by looking at the evidence and support DeCosta-Klipa provides or, if you choose, point out any flaws or shortcomings in his article.

Here are your instructions and criteria for this Discussion Board:

• You must have two (2) separate posts. Each post is worth five (5) points each for a total of 10 points for Discussion Board #2.
• Provide insightful and well-reasoned support in your posts. Show serious reflection of thought.
• Each written post should be between 75-150 words. You may write more, but don’t be excessive; don’t write less than this word minimum; this word range should be enough to develop your ideas concisely.
• Remember don’t copy and paste material from the internet. Your posts must be your own original writing.
• Keep in mind that you must post first before seeing other classmates’ posts. To begin your post, point and click on Reply and a text box will appear. Then after you have reviewed what you written, then you can click Post Reply. Then you’ll be able to read your classmates’ posts.

how do you think meditation helps Buddhists achieve greater awareness of the world and eventually enlightenment?

Can a myth be important even if it’s not historically true? Can you think of any other examples of stories or myths in religion or society that are probably not actually true, but are important nonetheless?

Is this an appropriate attitude for a religion? Or should a religious tradition include some sense of faith or trust in the tradition/teacher that they don’t question EVERYTHING a religious authority figure says?

you heard the story of Siddhartha Gautama – the prince who lived a life of complete hedonism, then renounced it all to find enlightenment. This story is central to Buddhism, but many devout Buddhists say that it’s probably not “true” in a historical sense, and that whether or not the story actually happened doesn’t even matter.

For them, the story is important because it teaches an important truth about how to live one’s life – one shouldn’t live completely for pleasure and oneself, but also one shouldn’t deny themselves everything. Neither of these paths leads to enlightenment. One should follow the example of the Buddha, even if he wasn’t a real historical figure.

Can a myth be important even if it’s not historically true? Can you think of any other examples of stories or myths in religion or society that are probably not actually true, but are important nonetheless?

Hi, this is for sociology upper division class and the idea of this writing is to respond to the reading question using the reading materials(pdf and link) which I have attached, with your own word 90% of the time. 3 double spaced 12 pt. Pages. Please use only the material provided( no external sources). Instruction by the instructor is below:-

Instruction by the instructor

• Lubitow and Miller 2013: In this short article, the authors discuss controversy that emerged over the development of a bikeway in Portland, Oregon. What were the “apolitical sustainability” arguments of cycling advocates, and what were the “politicized sustainability” arguments of African American residents? How did the latter influence the city’s approach to planning the bikeway? The lead author will visit us in class on Monday. What questions do you have for her?
• Kelley 2018: This short op-ed was published in the New York Times in 2018, just after Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice despite being credibly accused of sexual assault. What does Dr. Kelley want us to understand about social movements?
• Address the following reading in your reading response this week: Finney 2014: I have assigned for you to read one chapter from Dr. Finney’s 2014 book, Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors, in which she explains why African Americans are underrepresented in outdoor recreation and environmentalism. In this chapter, she discusses ways in which memory shapes African Americans’ experiences to the great outdoors. In your reading response, describe what you see as the primary points she is making about memory and people’s relationships to the outdoors in this chapter. How does this reading compare with your own experiences in the great outdoors, and/or how does it make you think differently about those experiences?
