Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
Due Thursday
This week, we study sociology from the perspective of society and culture in the United States. The U.S. is becoming a more culturally diverse society with subcultures that have differing values and beliefs. As working adults, it is essential for us to be able to observe and recognize the social norms that are needed to define what is good, right, and important to most people.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- What career interests you the most? How could studying sociology help you in this career?
- What are the formal and informal cultural norms that are usually associated with this career?

SOC 100 Wk 3 Discussion – Social Group Dynamics
Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
Due Thursday
In sociology, we can examine groups of people and their ways of interacting to learn more about how we share identity with others. Different types of groups have different purposes and can vary widely in their influence on our lives.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- How do you define primary group and secondary group? Which primary and secondary groups have affected your socialization process? What values, beliefs, or norms from each group have influenced you?
- Which group in the United States is the most important or influential to the most people, in your opinion? (For example, Congress is a group that makes decisions with far-reaching consequences that affect macro-level issues as well as everyday lives.) Explain your response. How is this group functional or dysfunctional?

SOC 100 Wk 4 Discussion – Social Deviance
Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
Due Thursday
Deviance is a violation of cultural norms, but not all deviant behavior is negative. A sociologist can examine deviant behavior through a theoretical perspective to try to understand its causes. A symbolic interactionist view would explain deviance as a product of social stratification. For example, people born into a lower economic class will have limited access to resources such as education and income, so they are therefore more likely to end up in a life of crime and poverty.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- Give an example of a positive or negative deviant behavior that you have witnessed, either formal or informal. How did it violate social norms? How did you react? How did the people in the nearby social group react? (Please do not share incriminating or personal details.)
- How would a functionalist or conflict theorist explain the reasons for the deviant behavior?

SOC 100 Wk 5 Discussion – Social Change Movements
Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
Due Thursday
Larger social structures can and do affect social changes at a micro-level to influence everyday lives. Reflect on a major social change or movement that you have observed happening in the U.S. in the past five years.
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- How has this social change or movement affected you personally or influenced your daily life?
- Which types of social changes, institutions, or other social structures may have contributed to the rise of this social change movement that you have noticed? Explain your response. (For example, the rise of online bullying may have been influenced by the invention of social media and the non-regulation of its use.)
