Hypothesis

If a child is not suffering from social issues, then
he/she will succeed highly in achieving better education because social issues
such as: emotional, ethnic, gender, economic, cultural, and ethical issues
affect his/her performance.

Feed
back from professor:

Good topic but broad. How will you define
“succeed” and you list many social issues. How will you measure
better education?

Writing
Assignment Overview

In this
Assignment, you will consider a social issue that interests you. It could be
human freedom, sexuality, deviance, crime, social mobility, poverty, education,
aging, or another similar issue. Within that general issue, you will select a
specific hypothesis to evaluate. You will conduct library research to gather
and critically evaluate evidence that bears on your hypothesis

This
assignment is completed in four (4) stages that build on each other. At
each stage, you should keep the final stage in mind.

Stage (and Week due)	Point Value	Description of Stage	Grading criteria
1 (Week 3)	50	Identifying the Hypothesis	Hypothesis is stated in a clear manner.
2 (Week 5)	100	Outline and Preliminary List of References	Content is provided for each component of the paper. A list of at least three (3) references is provided.
3 (Week 8)	120	Draft 1	Evaluated on content for each component, as well as writing skills, and use of citations and references.
4 (Week 10)	150	Final Version	Evaluated on content for each component, as well as writing skills, and use of citations and references.

In the
final stage of this assignment, you will submit a three to five (3-5) page
paper in which you:

1.
Specific Hypothesis. Introduce your paper by identifying the
specific hypothesis you are evaluating in this paper.

2.
Applicable Sociological Concepts. Identify the sociological
theories and terminology from the text that apply to your social issue

3.
Practical Implications. Discuss the value of sociological research
into your issue. Determine whether or not there are (or would be) practical
implications of sociological inquiry into this issue.

4.
Evidence. This is the most important part of the paper.
Analyze at least two (2) lines of evidence that pertain to the
hypothesis you are evaluating. Does the evidence support your hypothesis?
For each type of evidence, consider possible biases and alternative
interpretations.

5.
Conclusions. Draw conclusions based on the evidence that you have
discovered. Does the evidence confirm or refute your hypothesis? Is the
evidence sufficiently convincing to draw firm conclusions about your
hypothesis?
