    Greetings!

    I have had a few questions on the Final Project so I am touching base to make sure everyone is clear on the Final Powerpoint video assignment.

    First, you are supposed to be using the course material for the information on the theorists, not other sources. This should make it easy as we have already covered some of the theorists earlier in the course.

    Second, cite the sources on each slide, just as we have done throughout the course. ("In addition to the reference slide at the end, you will be including in-text citations with the information you present, as we have done throughout the course.") The information on the first slide for each theorist should be from the course material. On the second slide for each theorist, information from outside sources can be used to draw connections to globalization. (As we have done in Part B of our discussion assignments throughout the course.)

    Third, if you have photos you can put the photo credits at the end after the references, like this:

    Slide 1 -photo credit

    Slide 2 – photo credit

    etc.

    Fourth, do not cram each slide with words. Don't use long sentences, use short phrases the viewers can remember. You don't want your viewers to have to concentrate on reading long sentences, you want them to be listening to you elaborate on the brief phrases on the PowerPoint slide.

    Fifth, in the second slide for each theorist make sure to explicitly connect the theory with specific facts about the current world with regard to globalization. ("Be very specific in drawing explicit connections. Critical thinking!")

    Finally, make sure to look into your webcam at your viewers. You don't want to be looking down reading word-for-word from notes.

    If you have any questions, as always, please send them my way.

    Instructions for Social Theory Globalization PowerPoint Video

    **Instructions for Social Theory Globalization PowerPoint Video**

    **(To be posted as an assignment AND on the Discussion Board.)**

    In place of a final exam, you will submit a Social Theory PowerPoint video.  This will be a 5-7-minute PowerPoint video that gives you an opportunity to both think about how the theories we have covered during the course of the term connect with globalization and to communicate your thoughts to your fellow classmates.

    In discussing globalization, you will be presenting information on the theoretical work of Wallerstein, Mills, and Harvey, along with the work of two of the other theorists we have covered during the term (your choice). The two from the rest of the course material must come from different modules. For instance, you could not present information on Parsons and Merton as they are in the same module. You could choose one or the other and then one from another module.

    You may create your video on Zoom, YouTube, or any other video creation platform.
    **NOTE: ppsx file formats are not acceptable as Canvas does not handle them effectively.** Alternatively, you could just create it on your computer if you have software that enables you to do this. (Remember, it must be able to show the PowerPoint on the main portion of the screen and you in a little box talking to your viewers.)
    **The presentation must be a minimum of 5 minutes long and no more than 7 minutes in length.** You then either post it to YouTube and link it in the assignment in Canvas or submit it in Canvas using the media feature in Canvas.
    **You should treat this presentation as if it were a professional conference presentation**. After you post this video, you then must also post it in the Module 9 PowerPoint Video discussion for your classmates to watch. You do
    not have to comment on the videos (optional).

    In terms of how to structure the PowerPoint presentation, you must have the following:

    -one starter slide with the presentation title.

    -a second slide telling the viewer what the presentation is about.

    -a third slide describing the concept of globalization.

    -at least two slides for each of the 5 theorists. The first slide for each theorist describes their work. The second slide for each theorist demonstrates how the theory connects with globalization. Be very specific in drawing explicit connections. Critical thinking!

    -a concluding slide or two in which you present your view as to which of the theories you covered is most useful in understanding globalization. Provide evidence to support your opinion.

    -a final slide with your references in APA format

    **In addition to the reference slide at the end, you will be including in-text citations with the information you present, as we have done throughout the course.**

    **IMPORTANT #1** – You will be narrating the PowerPoint presentation. A box will appear in the corner of the video with you in it explaining what is appearing on each slide.
    Do not just read what is on the screen. Your viewers can read!  The screen should have some keywords or phrases upon which you will elaborate in your verbal presentation for that slide.

    **IMPORTANT #2** – Do not fill the slides with an onslaught of words. You want the viewers to be listening to you.  Include phrases or brief sentences upon which you elaborate in your presentation. In other words, you will be fleshing out what you have on the screen.

    **IMPORTANT #3** –
    _Look into your webcam!_ You are trying to connect with your audience, thus please maintain eye contact by looking into your webcam at your audience rather than just looking down at notes. Practice the presentation so that you are not just reading from notes the whole time. Think of how you react to presenters on TV or in videos. Who seems more authoritative: the presenter who just reads from notes or the presenter who demonstrates command of the information by being able to share information and argument while at the same time looking at the audience?

    **IMPORTANT #4** – You must include graphics in the presentation on
    each slide. There are few things less exciting than a PowerPoint with nothing but word after word after word after….. Take advantage of the visual capabilities of PowerPoint!

    **CREATING YOUR VIDEO**

    **(SLIDE 1**) INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS ______________ AND CLASSIFICATION. This PowerPoint presentation discusses five different theorists and how their concepts relate to globalization.

    **(SLIDE 3)** Globalization, which refers to the interconnectedness and interdependence of nations and cultures on a global scale, is a diverse and complicated notion. It's a process that has been developing for centuries, but it really picked up speed in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, mostly because of developments in technology, communication, transportation, and trade.

    First Theorist:
    **Immanuel Wallerstein**

    **(SLIDE 4)** Most people are familiar with Immanuel Wallerstein for creating the world-systems theory. He advocated looking at the globe as a whole rather than as a collection of separate nation-states. The book describes his theory by stating it “provides a framework for understanding globalization as a central feature of our time” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 612)”. There are three types of subsystems which are States, Societies, and cultures, and the interlinked markets forming capitalism. In Wallerstein’s reading called ‘The Modern World System” on page 613 of our book, he describes a world system as “a social system, one that has boundaries, structures, member groups, rules of legitimation, and coherence”. His theory holds that the world system is composed of core, periphery, and semi-periphery zones, with core regions reaping the most economic benefits from contact with the rest of the world while periphery countries are exploited and marginalized. This is supported in his excerpt of
    **_The Modern World-System (1974),_**“World-economies then are divided into core states and peripheral areas” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 614), followed by “There are also semiperipheral areas which are in between the core and the periphery” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 614).

    **(SLIDE 5)** Globalization is strongly related to Wallerstein's world-systems theory since it emphasizes how global economic and political structures have changed through time. It draws attention to the unequal power and resource distribution between core and periphery countries and offers a framework for comprehending how globalization has made these imbalances worse.

    Second Theorist:
    **David Harvey**

    **(SLIDE 6)** David Harvey was a well-known Marxist social theorist. He has written a lot about neoliberalism, geography, urbanization, and the spatial dynamics of capitalism. In his work on urbanization, he introduces ideas like "urbanization of capital" and "spatial fix," which examine how capitalism alters both space and urban settings.

    **(SLIDE 7)** The spatial dynamics of capitalism and globalization are major topics covered by Harvey's research. He contends that capitalism is a flexible, international system that always looks for new places to invest and make money. Harvey claims that capitalism's growth into new areas, both physically and virtually, is what led to globalization. In the writing excerpt published by Harvey titled “
    _A Brief History of Neoliberalism (2005)”,_ it stated that “the capitalist world stumbled towards neo-liberalization as the answer through a series of gyrations and chaotic experiments” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 65). He also talks about how neoliberal policies have shaped urban environments and accelerated globalization.

    Third Theorist:
    **C. Wright Mills**

    **(SLIDE 8)** Sociologist C. Wright Mills is renowned for the idea of the "sociological imagination." He underlined the significance of comprehending the connection between private issues and public concerns. Mills held the view that greater societal forces and institutions have an impact on people's particular experiences.

    **(SLIDE 9)** Although globalization isn't a direct topic in Mills' writing, his sociological imagination is important for understanding how it affects people and society. It helps us to consider the connections between local and personal difficulties and larger-scale processes, such as political choices, economic shifts, and cultural influences. According to Mills, a small, connected group of people who possess significant authority rule the United States. On the slide, you can see that these are the political elite, economic elite, and military elite as cited in the book. The excerpt by Mills also details that “In each of these institutional areas, the means of power at the disposal of decision makers have increased” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 300).

    Fourth Theorist:
    **Dorothy Smith**

    **(SLIDE 10)** Dorothy Smith is a sociologist best known for her standpoint theory. In order to understand the world, Dorothy Smith's viewpoint theory highlights the value of social context and the perspectives of disadvantaged groups. According to the standpoint theory, people's social circumstances and life experiences mold their distinctive viewpoints and expertise. This viewpoint can be used to examine how various communities and groups experience and respond to globalization in different ways. It can illuminate, for instance, the many effects of globalization on gender, race, class, and other social constructs.

    **(SLIDE 11)** In "The Conceptual Practices of Power," Smith investigates how power is ingrained in the production and justification of knowledge in sociology and other academic disciplines. In order to define and comprehend social phenomena, it is important to consider how power is used, and this study can be used to provide knowledge about globalization. In Dorothy Smith’s excerpt, she writes “Though an alienated knowledge also alienates others who are not members of the dominant white male minority, the standpoint of women distinctively opens up for exploration the conceptual practices and activities of the extra local, objective relations of ruling as what actual people do” (
    _1990_, as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 494)

    READ PART OF SLIDE

    Fifth Theorist:
    **Talcott Parsons**

    **(SLIDE 12)** Talcott Parsons is well-known for his contributions to structural functionalism. Though his work is not directly attributed to globalization, some of his concepts can be related to the study of globalization. For example, A system theory was created by Talcott Parsons that focused on the interdependence and equilibrium of social systems. This viewpoint can be used to comprehend the links between many global systems, such as the global economy, politics, culture, and communication, in the context of globalization. It can be used to study how modifications to one area of globalization might result in modifications and adaptations to other facets of the global system.

    Read some of slide

    **(SLIDE 13)** The processes of social change and adaptation were examined in Parsons' work. Understanding how communities and institutions respond to the opportunities and difficulties presented by global forces can be important in the context of globalization. For instance, a perspective that considers how social systems adapt to change can be used to study how nations adjust their economic policies in response to dynamics in the global market. In the book, we read Parson’s excerpt from Theories of Society (1961), titled “An Outline of the Social System” where he discussed the function of adaptation (Parsons, 1961, as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 286). He stated “When there is only one goal, the problem of evaluating the usefulness of facilities is narrowed down to their relevance to attaining this particular goal” which correlates to globalization because nations and organizations have specific goals. When organizations try to increase their influence, market presence, or reach across national borders, it can be said that they are engaging in globalization.

    **(SLIDE 14)** CONCLUSION

    Throughout this presentation, we looked at five theorists and their concepts, as well as how they are related to or can be related to globalization. The theorists we covered were Immanuel Wallerstein, best known for his World Systems Theory, David Harvey, best known for his writings on neoliberalism, C. Wright Mills, best known for his sociological imagination, Dorothy Smith, best known for the Standpoint theory and Talcott Parsons, best known for his contributions to structural functionalism.

    All of the theorists discussed have provided useful information and research to help with my understanding of globalization. However, I believe that Immanuel Wallerstein’s concepts are the most useful in understanding globalization. I believe this because the world-systems theory of Wallerstein offers a structural and chronological framework for comprehending globalization. It aids in our understanding of the relationships among the core, periphery, and semi-periphery regions that make up the global economic hierarchy.

    A historical view of globalization is possible thanks to Wallerstein's concentration on the long-term development of the international system. It emphasizes the evolution of global economic and political power structures over time. His writings pioneered the idea of unequal exchange, a crucial component of globalization. In order to comprehend the unequal distribution of wealth and resources in the global system, it is helpful to emphasize the dynamics of exploitation and dependency between regions.

    Greetings!

    I have had a few questions on the Final Project so I am touching base to make sure everyone is clear on the Final Powerpoint video assignment.

    First, you are supposed to be using the course material for the information on the theorists, not other sources. This should make it easy as we have already covered some of the theorists earlier in the course.

    Second, cite the sources on each slide, just as we have done throughout the course.

The information on the first slide for each theorist should be from the course material. On the second slide for each theorist, information from outside sources can be used to draw connections to globalization. (As we have done in Part B of our discussion assignments throughout the course.)

    Third, if you have photos you can put the photo credits at the end after the references, like this:

    Slide 1 -photo credit

    Slide 2 – photo credit

    etc.

    Fourth, do not cram each slide with words. Don't use long sentences, use short phrases the viewers can remember. You don't want your viewers to have to concentrate on reading long sentences, you want them to be listening to you elaborate on the brief phrases on the PowerPoint slide.

Understanding how communities and institutions respond to the opportunities and difficulties presented by global forces can be important in the context of globalization. For instance, a perspective that considers how social systems adapt to change can be used to study how nations adjust their economic policies in response to dynamics in the global market. In the book, we read Parson’s excerpt from Theories of Society (1961), titled “An Outline of the Social System” where he discussed the function of adaptation (Parsons, 1961, as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 286). He stated “When there is only one goal, the problem of evaluating the usefulness of facilities is narrowed down to their relevance to attaining this particular goal” which correlates to globalization because nations and organizations have specific goals. When organizations try to increase their influence, market presence, or reach across national borders, it can be said that they are engaging in globalization.

    **(SLIDE 14)** CONCLUSION

    Throughout this presentation, we looked at five theorists and their concepts, as well as how they are related to or can be related to globalization. The theorists we covered were Immanuel Wallerstein, best known for his World Systems Theory, David Harvey, best known for his writings on neoliberalism, C. Wright Mills, best known for his sociological imagination, Dorothy Smith, best known for the Standpoint theory and Talcott Parsons, best known for his contributions to structural functionalism.

    All of the theorists discussed have provided useful information and research to help with my understanding of globalization. However, I believe that Immanuel Wallerstein’s concepts are the most useful in understanding globalization. I believe this because the world-systems theory of Wallerstein offers a structural and chronological framework for comprehending globalization. It aids in our understanding of the relationships among the core, periphery, and semi-periphery regions that make up the global economic hierarchy.

    A historical view of globalization is possible thanks to Wallerstein's concentration on the long-term development of the international system. It emphasizes the evolution of global economic and political power structures over time. His writings pioneered the idea of unequal exchange, a crucial component of globalization. In order to comprehend the unequal distribution of wealth and resources in the global system, it is helpful to emphasize the dynamics of exploitation and dependency between regions.

    Greetings!

    I have had a few questions on the Final Project so I am touching base to make sure everyone is clear on the Final Powerpoint video assignment.

    First, you are supposed to be using the course material for the information on the theorists, not other sources. This should make it easy as we have already covered some of the theorists earlier in the course.

    Second, cite the sources on each slide, just as we have done throughout the course. ("In addition to the reference slide at the end, you will be including in-text citations with the information you present, as we have done throughout the course.") The information on the first slide for each theorist should be from the course material. On the second slide for each theorist, information from outside sources can be used to draw connections to globalization. (As we have done in Part B of our discussion assignments throughout the course.)

    Third, if you have photos you can put the photo credits at the end after the references, like this:

    Slide 1 -photo credit

    Slide 2 – photo credit

    etc.

    Fourth, do not cram each slide with words. Don't use long sentences, use short phrases the viewers can remember. You don't want your viewers to have to concentrate on reading long sentences, you want them to be listening to you elaborate on the brief phrases on the PowerPoint slide.

    Fifth, in the second slide for each theorist make sure to explicitly connect the theory with specific facts about the current world with regard to globalization. ("Be very specific in drawing explicit connections. Critical thinking!")

    Finally, make sure to look into your webcam at your viewers. You don't want to be looking down reading word-for-word from notes.

    If you have any questions, as always, please send them my way.

    **## InstructionsforSocialTheoryGlobalizationPowerPointVideo.docx**

    Instructions for Social Theory Globalization PowerPoint Video

    **Instructions for Social Theory Globalization PowerPoint Video**

    **(To be posted as an assignment AND on the Discussion Board.)**

    In place of a final exam, you will submit a Social Theory PowerPoint video.  This will be a 5-7-minute PowerPoint video that gives you an opportunity to both think about how the theories we have covered during the course of the term connect with globalization and to communicate your thoughts to your fellow classmates.

    In discussing globalization, you will be presenting information on the theoretical work of Wallerstein, Mills, and Harvey, along with the work of two of the other theorists we have covered during the term (your choice). The two from the rest of the course material must come from different modules. For instance, you could not present information on Parsons and Merton as they are in the same module. You could choose one or the other and then one from another module.

    You may create your video on Zoom, YouTube, or any other video creation platform.
    **NOTE: ppsx file formats are not acceptable as Canvas does not handle them effectively.** Alternatively, you could just create it on your computer if you have software that enables you to do this. (Remember, it must be able to show the PowerPoint on the main portion of the screen and you in a little box talking to your viewers.)
    **The presentation must be a minimum of 5 minutes long and no more than 7 minutes in length.** You then either post it to YouTube and link it in the assignment in Canvas or submit it in Canvas using the media feature in Canvas.
    **You should treat this presentation as if it were a professional conference presentation**. After you post this video, you then must also post it in the Module 9 PowerPoint Video discussion for your classmates to watch. You do
    not have to comment on the videos (optional).

    In terms of how to structure the PowerPoint presentation, you must have the following:

    -one starter slide with the presentation title.

    -a second slide telling the viewer what the presentation is about.

    -a third slide describing the concept of globalization.

    -at least two slides for each of the 5 theorists. The first slide for each theorist describes their work. The second slide for each theorist demonstrates how the theory connects with globalization. Be very specific in drawing explicit connections. Critical thinking!

    -a concluding slide or two in which you present your view as to which of the theories you covered is most useful in understanding globalization. Provide evidence to support your opinion.

    -a final slide with your references in APA format

    **In addition to the reference slide at the end, you will be including in-text citations with the information you present, as we have done throughout the course.**

    **IMPORTANT #1** – You will be narrating the PowerPoint presentation. A box will appear in the corner of the video with you in it explaining what is appearing on each slide.
    Do not just read what is on the screen. Your viewers can read!  The screen should have some keywords or phrases upon which you will elaborate in your verbal presentation for that slide.

    **IMPORTANT #2** – Do not fill the slides with an onslaught of words. You want the viewers to be listening to you.  Include phrases or brief sentences upon which you elaborate in your presentation. In other words, you will be fleshing out what you have on the screen.

    **IMPORTANT #3** –
    _Look into your webcam!_ You are trying to connect with your audience, thus please maintain eye contact by looking into your webcam at your audience rather than just looking down at notes. Practice the presentation so that you are not just reading from notes the whole time. Think of how you react to presenters on TV or in videos. Who seems more authoritative: the presenter who just reads from notes or the presenter who demonstrates command of the information by being able to share information and argument while at the same time looking at the audience?

    **IMPORTANT #4** – You must include graphics in the presentation on
    each slide. There are few things less exciting than a PowerPoint with nothing but word after word after word after….. Take advantage of the visual capabilities of PowerPoint!

    **CREATING YOUR VIDEO**

    I realize that many of you are experienced in creating videos. For those of you who choose to use Zoom, I have provided some guidance to assist you in doing this in Zoom. If you are already comfortable with creating videos on YouTube or Zoom you can skip the following information.

    **## SocialTheoryPPTSCRIPT.docx**

    **(SLIDE 1**) INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS ______________ AND CLASSIFICATION. This PowerPoint presentation discusses five different theorists and how their concepts relate to globalization.

    **(SLIDE 3)** Globalization, which refers to the interconnectedness and interdependence of nations and cultures on a global scale, is a diverse and complicated notion. It's a process that has been developing for centuries, but it really picked up speed in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, mostly because of developments in technology, communication, transportation, and trade.

    First Theorist:
    **Immanuel Wallerstein**

    **(SLIDE 4)** Most people are familiar with Immanuel Wallerstein for creating the world-systems theory. He advocated looking at the globe as a whole rather than as a collection of separate nation-states. The book describes his theory by stating it “provides a framework for understanding globalization as a central feature of our time” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 612)”. There are three types of subsystems which are States, Societies, and cultures, and the interlinked markets forming capitalism. In Wallerstein’s reading called ‘The Modern World System” on page 613 of our book, he describes a world system as “a social system, one that has boundaries, structures, member groups, rules of legitimation, and coherence”. His theory holds that the world system is composed of core, periphery, and semi-periphery zones, with core regions reaping the most economic benefits from contact with the rest of the world while periphery countries are exploited and marginalized. This is supported in his excerpt of
    **_The Modern World-System (1974),_**“World-economies then are divided into core states and peripheral areas” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 614), followed by “There are also semiperipheral areas which are in between the core and the periphery” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 614).

    **(SLIDE 5)** Globalization is strongly related to Wallerstein's world-systems theory since it emphasizes how global economic and political structures have changed through time. It draws attention to the unequal power and resource distribution between core and periphery countries and offers a framework for comprehending how globalization has made these imbalances worse.

    Second Theorist:
    **David Harvey**

    **(SLIDE 6)** David Harvey was a well-known Marxist social theorist. He has written a lot about neoliberalism, geography, urbanization, and the spatial dynamics of capitalism. In his work on urbanization, he introduces ideas like "urbanization of capital" and "spatial fix," which examine how capitalism alters both space and urban settings.

    **(SLIDE 7)** The spatial dynamics of capitalism and globalization are major topics covered by Harvey's research. He contends that capitalism is a flexible, international system that always looks for new places to invest and make money. Harvey claims that capitalism's growth into new areas, both physically and virtually, is what led to globalization. In the writing excerpt published by Harvey titled “
    _A Brief History of Neoliberalism (2005)”,_ it stated that “the capitalist world stumbled towards neo-liberalization as the answer through a series of gyrations and chaotic experiments” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 65). He also talks about how neoliberal policies have shaped urban environments and accelerated globalization.

    Third Theorist:
    **C. Wright Mills**

    **(SLIDE 8)** Sociologist C. Wright Mills is renowned for the idea of the "sociological imagination." He underlined the significance of comprehending the connection between private issues and public concerns. Mills held the view that greater societal forces and institutions have an impact on people's particular experiences.

    **(SLIDE 9)** Although globalization isn't a direct topic in Mills' writing, his sociological imagination is important for understanding how it affects people and society. It helps us to consider the connections between local and personal difficulties and larger-scale processes, such as political choices, economic shifts, and cultural influences. According to Mills, a small, connected group of people who possess significant authority rule the United States. On the slide, you can see that these are the political elite, economic elite, and military elite as cited in the book. The excerpt by Mills also details that “In each of these institutional areas, the means of power at the disposal of decision makers have increased” (as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 300).

    Fourth Theorist:
    **Dorothy Smith**

    **(SLIDE 10)** Dorothy Smith is a sociologist best known for her standpoint theory. In order to understand the world, Dorothy Smith's viewpoint theory highlights the value of social context and the perspectives of disadvantaged groups. According to the standpoint theory, people's social circumstances and life experiences mold their distinctive viewpoints and expertise. This viewpoint can be used to examine how various communities and groups experience and respond to globalization in different ways. It can illuminate, for instance, the many effects of globalization on gender, race, class, and other social constructs.

    **(SLIDE 11)** In "The Conceptual Practices of Power," Smith investigates how power is ingrained in the production and justification of knowledge in sociology and other academic disciplines. In order to define and comprehend social phenomena, it is important to consider how power is used, and this study can be used to provide knowledge about globalization. In Dorothy Smith’s excerpt, she writes “Though an alienated knowledge also alienates others who are not members of the dominant white male minority, the standpoint of women distinctively opens up for exploration the conceptual practices and activities of the extra local, objective relations of ruling as what actual people do” (
    _1990_, as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 494)

    READ PART OF SLIDE

    Fifth Theorist:
    **Talcott Parsons**

    **(SLIDE 12)** Talcott Parsons is well-known for his contributions to structural functionalism. Though his work is not directly attributed to globalization, some of his concepts can be related to the study of globalization. For example, A system theory was created by Talcott Parsons that focused on the interdependence and equilibrium of social systems. This viewpoint can be used to comprehend the links between many global systems, such as the global economy, politics, culture, and communication, in the context of globalization. It can be used to study how modifications to one area of globalization might result in modifications and adaptations to other facets of the global system.

    Read some of slide

    **(SLIDE 13)** The processes of social change and adaptation were examined in Parsons' work. Understanding how communities and institutions respond to the opportunities and difficulties presented by global forces can be important in the context of globalization. For instance, a perspective that considers how social systems adapt to change can be used to study how nations adjust their economic policies in response to dynamics in the global market. In the book, we read Parson’s excerpt from Theories of Society (1961), titled “An Outline of the Social System” where he discussed the function of adaptation (Parsons, 1961, as cited in Garner & Hancock, 2014, p. 286). He stated “When there is only one goal, the problem of evaluating the usefulness of facilities is narrowed down to their relevance to attaining this particular goal” which correlates to globalization because nations and organizations have specific goals. When organizations try to increase their influence, market presence, or reach across national borders, it can be said that they are engaging in globalization.

    **(SLIDE 14)** CONCLUSION

    Throughout this presentation, we looked at five theorists and their concepts, as well as how they are related to or can be related to globalization. The theorists we covered were Immanuel Wallerstein, best known for his World Systems Theory, David Harvey, best known for his writings on neoliberalism, C. Wright Mills, best known for his sociological imagination, Dorothy Smith, best known for the Standpoint theory and Talcott Parsons, best known for his contributions to structural functionalism.

    All of the theorists discussed have provided useful information and research to help with my understanding of globalization. However, I believe that Immanuel Wallerstein’s concepts are the most useful in understanding globalization. I believe this because the world-systems theory of Wallerstein offers a structural and chronological framework for comprehending globalization. It aids in our understanding of the relationships among the core, periphery, and semi-periphery regions that make up the global economic hierarchy.

    _Discussion participation requirements_" section of the syllabus before posting anything in this forum, and use the
    _"Checklist for responses to discussion questions_" I provided in this area of the course to help you. The
    minimum length requirement for your responses to the discussion questions in order to earn any credit is 600 words (does not include references).
    **Not surprisingly, the most effective responses to discussion questions well-exceed the minimum.** The minimum length for each of your replies to classmates in order to earn any credit is 150 words.

    **IMPORTANT –  In order to avoid problems with plagiarism, it is essential that you cite and reference all of the information you present in your analysis. But this is really easy to do! In-text citations must include author, year of publication,**
    **and page number. APA recommends but does not require including page numbers in summarized or paraphrased information taken from sources. But in this course, we will follow the APA recommendation and include page numbers in ALL citations, for both direct quotes and paraphrased information. Don't forget to put direct quotes in quotation marks.**

    With regard to references at the end of your posts, here is information to help you with your references directly from the APA.

    Using concepts/ideas from
    three of the theorists addressing race that we covered in this module, provide
    five examples **(5 total)** from current times in the U.S. to show how the concepts/ideas apply. At least one of the theorists must have written about
    critical race theory.

    A –
    **Fully** describe one important idea/concept from each of the three theorists you have chosen for the analysis.

    B – Apply these ideas/concepts to specific information about current society. There must be at least one connection to modern society for
    each of the three theorists.
    Draw explicit connections to the theories.

    **Label each section.**

    In Part A, information from the three theorists covered in this module must be presented only from both the textbook
    **and other**
    **assigned articles.   In Part B, along with some information from the assigned sources for Module 8,** you must also include information on the current society from at least two additional outside sources. The outside sources can be but need not be from academic sources. They must, however, be credible sources.

    **## DISCUSSIONFEEDBACK.docx**

    DISCUSSION FEEDBACK

    WEEK 1 – 74%

    In this assignment, you discussed innovation, exploitation of workers, and class struggle. All of these are important ideas in the work of Karl Marx. And the information you provided in this initial assignment is accurate. The assignment is also clearly written. However, it is too brief to give you an opportunity to display your understanding of the work of Marx. It barely met the 600-word limit. As noted in the instructions for the assignment

    "The minimum length requirement for your responses to the discussion questions in order to earn any credit is 600 words (does not include references). Not surprisingly, the most effective responses to discussion questions well-exceed the minimum. "

    In moving forward, I need you to present more specific information Incorporated and cited from the course material. You only have a single piece of information in each of the first three paragraphs in Part A. Keep in mind that this course provides you with an opportunity to develop the ability to respond effectively to the questions on the comprehensive exam you will be taking at the end of your program. The more thorough and detailed your responses are to those questions, the more likely you are to have a successful outcome. And remember that when you take the exam you will not have access to notes or any other resources. I posted a sample student discussion question response for everyone to review to give them an idea of what the expectations are regarding successful analyses. Please make sure to review this essay before doing the assignment for next week.

    In Part B you demonstrated critical thinking in discussing each of the three concepts in the context of modern American capitalism. You also used information from all three required sources. To improve upon this in your future work I need you to more thoroughly cite the source of the information you present to support your opinion and explain what you mean. For instance, you wrote:

    "The free market makes it easy for organizations to exploit workers."

    This is a very good point but you need to tell your readers how the freeness of the market facilitates the exploitation of workers. What is it about the modern free market that allows companies to take advantage of the workers in those companies? Present the information on this and follow it with a citation.

    You earned credit for your replies to your classmates. But please keep in mind that to earn the maximum 30 points you must incorporate, cite, and reference at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies, as per the grading rubric.

    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to connect with me.

    WEEK 2 – 81%

    The first two sections of Part A are really significant improvements in the extent to which the descriptions are thorough and well-developed. The third paragraph on religion is more brief and could benefit from additional information. Try to be consistent in fully developing each section of our assignments.

    In Part B you demonstrated critical thinking in drawing some connections between the three concepts and crime in modern society. However, the instructions for Part B state the following:

    _"In section B, in addition to information from the textbook, you must also use information on crime in modern America from at least two outside sources. "_

    You did include information from outside sources in Part B, but you did not include anything from the textbook. Always go back and reread the instructions after completing your draft. This will help you to avoid leaving parts out.

    Finally, you have cited all of the quoted passages in your analysis. However, you have numerous paraphrased passages for which no citations were provided. As I indicated in the video for the Module 1 assignment (at 2:22), you must cite not only quoted information but paraphrased information as well. This is information you have taken from a source but rewritten entirely in your own words. Here is an example. You wrote:

    "Another idea from Durkheim’s work is that social life is religious. The purpose of religious ceremonies is to worship social life. Religions enhance cohesion among members of a society. They reaffirm ideas and sentiments that bring members of a society together. Religious ceremonies enable members to stick together."

    This is accurate and in paraphrased form, but you haven't followed it with a citation. The only citation you have in that paragraph is for a quoted passage. Failing to cite paraphrased information is plagiarism, so please focus on this in our subsequent assignments. If anything about this is still unclear, please connect with me so that I can provide whatever additional clarification you need.

    In the Module 2 discussion assignment, you earned credit for your replies. But please remember that you can earn the full 30 points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies.

    WEEK 3 – 47%

    In the first paragraph of Part A you discussed class and used information to support this part of the discussion from one of the textbook articles by Weber. The second paragraph of Part A uses information from the commentary by Garner and Hancock (p. 103) and from the article by Ritzer (p. 119) rather than by Weber (Ritzer was not part of the assigned reading). The third paragraph, on capitalism, uses information one piece of information from The Spirit of Capitalism but also once again from the commentary by Garner and Hancock instead of the writings of Weber. As you know from the assignment instructions, they asked you to:

    _"You have three assigned readings from Weber (see "Things to do"). One idea/concept must come from each of them."_

    In moving forward, in Part A of our assignments, you need to incorporate and cite plenty of information from the assigned articles by the theorists, not from the commentary by Garner and Hancock or from articles that have not been assigned. Remember that Part A of the assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the work of the theorists.

    Part B is designed to give you an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking. You have tried to do this by drawing connections between banks and Weber's ideas. However, please remember that the information you present to support each of these sections of Part B must come from the sources cited to support that information. For instance, in describing banks you wrote:

    _"They have professionals with expertise in various fields. Individuals are hired and promoted based on merit (Besley et al. 2022, p.39"_

    But after reviewing the Besley et al. article there is nothing in it about banks and hiring on merit (or about banks and hiring at all).

    In the third paragraph of Part B you wrote:

    _"Bank workers uphold ethical values such as honesty, accountability, professionalism, and confidentiality. Their work ethics leads to higher team productivity and individual performance (Hudson, 2021, p.558)."_

    But there is nothing about bank workers or ethical values leading to higher productivity in the Hudson article. Presenting information and then citing it to sources that do not contain that information is a violation of the Troy University academic integrity policy. In light of this, I cannot give you credit for Part B of the assignment unless you can show me where in those two articles the information can be found. If you can demonstrate this, I will be more than happy to revise the grade for this assignment.

    In moving forward, please remember that the information you present must be accurately cited to the sources of that information. In addition, in Part A of our assignments, please focus on providing thorough and detailed descriptions of the work of the theorists from the writing of the theorists as specified in the assignment instructions. I am always available to answer any questions if there is anything in the instructions for our assignments that is not clear to you.

    With regard to replies to classmates, I gave you credit for your reply to Ana, but I could not give you credit for the reply to Winston, as you cited on page 186. But in your reply to me, you indicated that page 181 should be p. 105. If that is true, then there cannot be information on Weber on page 186. If you can explain this issue, I will rethink credit for the reply to Winston.

    WEEK 4 – 89%

    This is a significant improvement over last week. Good work overall on Part A of the assignment. The sections on the sick role and on Merton were the most well-developed. The opening section is accurate but more brief. In Part B, you did effective work in trying to draw some connections between the concepts described in Part A and modern social conditions. The point about the mechanisms through which we learn and internalize values, such as through schools and families, is right on the mark. In the final paragraph of Part B you wrote about "eliminate the effective social constraint over means employed to this end." This is certainly true, but this application does not mention the disjunction between goals and means that lead to the deviant behavior that is not effectively controlled.

    You did an effective job in replying to your classmates on their Module 4 posts and earned the majority of points. But please remember that you can earn all of the points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your required replies.

    WEEK 5 – 100%

    This is your best assignment of the term thus far. You did an outstanding job in both describing the date and making connections between the events associated with the date and the work of the two theorists, Becker and Goffman. This demonstrates both an understanding of key elements in the work of the two theorists as well as critical thinking in applying their ideas to a specific social circumstance, in this case a date. Thank you for your work on this!

    Your replies to your classmates for the Module 5 discussion were effective and incorporated and cited multiple pieces of information from the course material to support each of your responses. You earned the full 30 points for this part of the grading rubric for this module.

    WEEK 6 – 92%

    Very good work overall. The strongest sections of this assignment are the sections on social capital and habitus. The information on fields is accurate but more limited. Try to be consistent in fully developing each section in your assignments. The analysis is well supported, and you demonstrated critical thinking in Part B in applying some of his ideas to modern conditions.

    I do need to ask you not to rely on so many quotations. Quotations should be used sparingly to make a special point, and you are encouraged to use them to do so. But you have about 15 quotations in this one analysis. Please take a look at the link I provided in the Module 1 discussion instructions on how to use quoted material. I did not deduct any points for this as I did not mention it in my feedback to you previously.

    For the Module 7 discussion, you earned most of the points for your replies to your classmates. We only have two more discussion assignments to do in the course. In doing them, keep in mind that you can earn the full 30 points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your two required replies.

    WEEK 7 – 65%

    In my feedback to you last week, I provided the following guidance to help you:

    _"I do need to ask you not to rely on so many quotations. Quotations should be used sparingly to make a special point, and you are encouraged to use them to do so. But you have about 15 quotations in this one analysis. Please take a look at the link I provided in the Module 1 discussion instructions on how to use quoted material. I did not deduct any points for this as I did not mention it in my feedback to you previously."_

    In your work this week, you ignored this guidance. Once again, you have 15 quotations in your analysis. It is difficult for me to assess your level of understanding when so much of your work is represented in passages copied from your sources.

    In addition, in my feedback to you on the Module 2 assignment, I provided the following guidance:

    _"Finally, you have cited all of the quoted passages in your analysis. However, you have numerous paraphrased passages for which no citations were provided. As I indicated in the video for the Module 1 assignment (at 2:22), you must cite not only quoted information but paraphrased information as well. This is information you have taken from a source but rewritten entirely in your own words. Here is an example. You wrote:_

    _"Another idea from Durkheim’s work is that social life is religious. The purpose of religious ceremonies is to worship social life. Religions enhance cohesion among members of a society. They reaffirm ideas and sentiments that bring members of a society together. Religious ceremonies enable members to stick together."_

    _This is accurate and in paraphrased form, but you haven't followed it with a citation. The only citation you have in that paragraph is for a quoted passage. Failing to cite paraphrased information is plagiarism, so please focus on this in our subsequent assignments. If anything about this is still unclear, please connect with me so that I can provide whatever additional clarification you need."_

    This guidance has also not been followed in your Module 7 analysis. For instance, in Part A of the assignment none of the paraphrased information has been supported with a citation. Here's just one example.

    _"Different cultures have different norms that determine how gender is constructed."_

    This paraphrased statement about different cultures having different norms is accurate, but you have failed to support it with a citation to the source of this information about different cultures. There is nothing else in that paragraph about different cultures. As you know, failing to cite the source of paraphrased information is plagiarism.

    These issues that I previously provided guidance to help you avoid them re holding you back. I know very well that you are capable of doing effective work but it is essential that you follow the guidance I provide to help you be successful on our assignments. I am always available to answer questions if anything in the guidance I provide, assignment instructions, or course material is unclear to you. Please eliminate these issues in our final discussion assignment for next week.

    Thank you for your responses to your classmates in the Module 7 discussion. One last time, I want to remind you that you can earn the full 30 points for this part of the grading rubric if you remember to incorporate, cite, and reference at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies. This is encouraged as the more you do this, the more you are working with the concepts in the course material. And the more you "handle" these concepts, the more it contributes to remembering them when the time comes to take the comprehensive exam.

    DISCUSSION FEEDBACK

    WEEK 1 – 74%

    In this assignment, you discussed innovation, exploitation of workers, and class struggle. All of these are important ideas in the work of Karl Marx. And the information you provided in this initial assignment is accurate. The assignment is also clearly written. However, it is too brief to give you an opportunity to display your understanding of the work of Marx. It barely met the 600-word limit. As noted in the instructions for the assignment

    "The minimum length requirement for your responses to the discussion questions in order to earn any credit is 600 words (does not include references). Not surprisingly, the most effective responses to discussion questions well-exceed the minimum. "

    In moving forward, I need you to present more specific information Incorporated and cited from the course material. You only have a single piece of information in each of the first three paragraphs in Part A. Keep in mind that this course provides you with an opportunity to develop the ability to respond effectively to the questions on the comprehensive exam you will be taking at the end of your program. The more thorough and detailed your responses are to those questions, the more likely you are to have a successful outcome. And remember that when you take the exam you will not have access to notes or any other resources. I posted a sample student discussion question response for everyone to review to give them an idea of what the expectations are regarding successful analyses. Please make sure to review this essay before doing the assignment for next week.

    In Part B you demonstrated critical thinking in discussing each of the three concepts in the context of modern American capitalism. You also used information from all three required sources. To improve upon this in your future work I need you to more thoroughly cite the source of the information you present to support your opinion and explain what you mean. For instance, you wrote:

    "The free market makes it easy for organizations to exploit workers."

    This is a very good point but you need to tell your readers how the freeness of the market facilitates the exploitation of workers. What is it about the modern free market that allows companies to take advantage of the workers in those companies? Present the information on this and follow it with a citation.

    You earned credit for your replies to your classmates. But please keep in mind that to earn the maximum 30 points you must incorporate, cite, and reference at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies, as per the grading rubric.

    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to connect with me.

    WEEK 2 – 81%

    The first two sections of Part A are really significant improvements in the extent to which the descriptions are thorough and well-developed. The third paragraph on religion is more brief and could benefit from additional information. Try to be consistent in fully developing each section of our assignments.

    In Part B you demonstrated critical thinking in drawing some connections between the three concepts and crime in modern society. However, the instructions for Part B state the following:

    _"In section B, in addition to information from the textbook, you must also use information on crime in modern America from at least two outside sources. "_

    You did include information from outside sources in Part B, but you did not include anything from the textbook. Always go back and reread the instructions after completing your draft. This will help you to avoid leaving parts out.

    Finally, you have cited all of the quoted passages in your analysis. However, you have numerous paraphrased passages for which no citations were provided. As I indicated in the video for the Module 1 assignment (at 2:22), you must cite not only quoted information but paraphrased information as well. This is information you have taken from a source but rewritten entirely in your own words. Here is an example. You wrote:

    "Another idea from Durkheim’s work is that social life is religious. The purpose of religious ceremonies is to worship social life. Religions enhance cohesion among members of a society. They reaffirm ideas and sentiments that bring members of a society together. Religious ceremonies enable members to stick together."

    This is accurate and in paraphrased form, but you haven't followed it with a citation. The only citation you have in that paragraph is for a quoted passage. Failing to cite paraphrased information is plagiarism, so please focus on this in our subsequent assignments. If anything about this is still unclear, please connect with me so that I can provide whatever additional clarification you need.

    In the Module 2 discussion assignment, you earned credit for your replies. But please remember that you can earn the full 30 points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies.

    WEEK 3 – 47%

    In the first paragraph of Part A you discussed class and used information to support this part of the discussion from one of the textbook articles by Weber. The second paragraph of Part A uses information from the commentary by Garner and Hancock (p. 103) and from the article by Ritzer (p. 119) rather than by Weber (Ritzer was not part of the assigned reading). The third paragraph, on capitalism, uses information one piece of information from The Spirit of Capitalism but also once again from the commentary by Garner and Hancock instead of the writings of Weber. As you know from the assignment instructions, they asked you to:

    _"You have three assigned readings from Weber (see "Things to do"). One idea/concept must come from each of them."_

    In moving forward, in Part A of our assignments, you need to incorporate and cite plenty of information from the assigned articles by the theorists, not from the commentary by Garner and Hancock or from articles that have not been assigned. Remember that Part A of the assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the work of the theorists.

    Part B is designed to give you an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking. You have tried to do this by drawing connections between banks and Weber's ideas. However, please remember that the information you present to support each of these sections of Part B must come from the sources cited to support that information. For instance, in describing banks you wrote:

    _"They have professionals with expertise in various fields. Individuals are hired and promoted based on merit (Besley et al. 2022, p.39"_

    But after reviewing the Besley et al. article there is nothing in it about banks and hiring on merit (or about banks and hiring at all).

    In the third paragraph of Part B you wrote:

    _"Bank workers uphold ethical values such as honesty, accountability, professionalism, and confidentiality. Their work ethics leads to higher team productivity and individual performance (Hudson, 2021, p.558)."_

    But there is nothing about bank workers or ethical values leading to higher productivity in the Hudson article. Presenting information and then citing it to sources that do not contain that information is a violation of the Troy University academic integrity policy. In light of this, I cannot give you credit for Part B of the assignment unless you can show me where in those two articles the information can be found. If you can demonstrate this, I will be more than happy to revise the grade for this assignment.

    In moving forward, please remember that the information you present must be accurately cited to the sources of that information. In addition, in Part A of our assignments, please focus on providing thorough and detailed descriptions of the work of the theorists from the writing of the theorists as specified in the assignment instructions. I am always available to answer any questions if there is anything in the instructions for our assignments that is not clear to you.

    With regard to replies to classmates, I gave you credit for your reply to Ana, but I could not give you credit for the reply to Winston, as you cited on page 186. But in your reply to me, you indicated that page 181 should be p. 105. If that is true, then there cannot be information on Weber on page 186. If you can explain this issue, I will rethink credit for the reply to Winston.

    WEEK 4 – 89%

    This is a significant improvement over last week. Good work overall on Part A of the assignment. The sections on the sick role and on Merton were the most well-developed. The opening section is accurate but more brief. In Part B, you did effective work in trying to draw some connections between the concepts described in Part A and modern social conditions. The point about the mechanisms through which we learn and internalize values, such as through schools and families, is right on the mark. In the final paragraph of Part B you wrote about "eliminate the effective social constraint over means employed to this end." This is certainly true, but this application does not mention the disjunction between goals and means that lead to the deviant behavior that is not effectively controlled.

    You did an effective job in replying to your classmates on their Module 4 posts and earned the majority of points. But please remember that you can earn all of the points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your required replies.

    WEEK 5 – 100%

    In addition, in my feedback to you on the Module 2 assignment, I provided the following guidance:

    _"Finally, you have cited all of the quoted passages in your analysis. However, you have numerous paraphrased passages for which no citations were provided. As I indicated in the video for the Module 1 assignment (at 2:22), you must cite not only quoted information but paraphrased information as well. This is information you have taken from a source but rewritten entirely in your own words. Here is an example. You wrote:_

    _"Another idea from Durkheim’s work is that social life is religious. The purpose of religious ceremonies is to worship social life. Religions enhance cohesion among members of a society. They reaffirm ideas and sentiments that bring members of a society together. Religious ceremonies enable members to stick together."_

    _This is accurate and in paraphrased form, but you haven't followed it with a citation. The only citation you have in that paragraph is for a quoted passage. Failing to cite paraphrased information is plagiarism, so please focus on this in our subsequent assignments. If anything about this is still unclear, please connect with me so that I can provide whatever additional clarification you need."_

    This guidance has also not been followed in your Module 7 analysis. For instance, in Part A of the assignment none of the paraphrased information has been supported with a citation. Here's just one example.

    _"Different cultures have different norms that determine how gender is constructed."_

    This paraphrased statement about different cultures having different norms is accurate, but you have failed to support it with a citation to the source of this information about different cultures. There is nothing else in that paragraph about different cultures. As you know, failing to cite the source of paraphrased information is plagiarism.

    These issues that I previously provided guidance to help you avoid them re holding you back. I know very well that you are capable of doing effective work but it is essential that you follow the guidance I provide to help you be successful on our assignments. I am always available to answer questions if anything in the guidance I provide, assignment instructions, or course material is unclear to you. Please eliminate these issues in our final discussion assignment for next week.

    Thank you for your responses to your classmates in the Module 7 discussion. One last time, I want to remind you that you can earn the full 30 points for this part of the grading rubric if you remember to incorporate, cite, and reference at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies. This is encouraged as the more you do this, the more you are working with the concepts in the course material. And the more you "handle" these concepts, the more it contributes to remembering them when the time comes to take the comprehensive exam.

    **## ModuleEightDiscussion.docx**

    **Module Eight Discussion**

    Post your participation post for the week in this forum.  Make sure to read the "
    _Discussion participation requirements_" section of the syllabus before posting anything in this forum, and use the
    _"Checklist for responses to discussion questions_" I provided in this area of the course to help you. The
    minimum length requirement for your responses to the discussion questions in order to earn any credit is 600 words (does not include references).
    **Not surprisingly, the most effective responses to discussion questions well-exceed the minimum.** The minimum length for each of your replies to classmates in order to earn any credit is 150 words.

    **IMPORTANT –  In order to avoid problems with plagiarism, it is essential that you cite and reference all of the information you present in your analysis. But this is really easy to do! In-text citations must include author, year of publication,**
    **and page number. APA recommends but does not require including page numbers in summarized or paraphrased information taken from sources. But in this course, we will follow the APA recommendation and include page numbers in ALL citations, for both direct quotes and paraphrased information. Don't forget to put direct quotes in quotation marks.**

    With regard to references at the end of your posts, here is information to help you with your references directly from the APA.

    [https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-examples.pdfLinks to an external site.](https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/reference-examples.pdf)

    **If you have any questions, please let me know. I will be more than happy to help you!**

    **——————————————————————-**

    Using concepts/ideas from
    three of the theorists addressing race that we covered in this module, provide
    five examples **(5 total)** from current times in the U.S. to show how the concepts/ideas apply. At least one of the theorists must have written about
    critical race theory.

    A –
    **Fully** describe one important idea/concept from each of the three theorists you have chosen for the analysis.

    B – Apply these ideas/concepts to specific information about current society. There must be at least one connection to modern society for
    each of the three theorists.
    Draw explicit connections to the theories.

    **Label each section.**

    In Part A, information from the three theorists covered in this module must be presented only from both the textbook
    **and other**
    **assigned articles.   In Part B, along with some information from the assigned sources for Module 8,** you must also include information on the current society from at least two additional outside sources. The outside sources can be but need not be from academic sources. They must, however, be credible sources.

    **## DISCUSSIONFEEDBACK.docx**

    DISCUSSION FEEDBACK

    WEEK 1 – 74%

    In this assignment, you discussed innovation, exploitation of workers, and class struggle. All of these are important ideas in the work of Karl Marx. And the information you provided in this initial assignment is accurate. The assignment is also clearly written. However, it is too brief to give you an opportunity to display your understanding of the work of Marx. It barely met the 600-word limit. As noted in the instructions for the assignment

    "The minimum length requirement for your responses to the discussion questions in order to earn any credit is 600 words (does not include references). Not surprisingly, the most effective responses to discussion questions well-exceed the minimum. "

    In moving forward, I need you to present more specific information Incorporated and cited from the course material. You only have a single piece of information in each of the first three paragraphs in Part A. Keep in mind that this course provides you with an opportunity to develop the ability to respond effectively to the questions on the comprehensive exam you will be taking at the end of your program. The more thorough and detailed your responses are to those questions, the more likely you are to have a successful outcome. And remember that when you take the exam you will not have access to notes or any other resources. I posted a sample student discussion question response for everyone to review to give them an idea of what the expectations are regarding successful analyses. Please make sure to review this essay before doing the assignment for next week.

    In Part B you demonstrated critical thinking in discussing each of the three concepts in the context of modern American capitalism. You also used information from all three required sources. To improve upon this in your future work I need you to more thoroughly cite the source of the information you present to support your opinion and explain what you mean. For instance, you wrote:

    "The free market makes it easy for organizations to exploit workers."

    This is a very good point but you need to tell your readers how the freeness of the market facilitates the exploitation of workers. What is it about the modern free market that allows companies to take advantage of the workers in those companies? Present the information on this and follow it with a citation.

    You earned credit for your replies to your classmates. But please keep in mind that to earn the maximum 30 points you must incorporate, cite, and reference at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies, as per the grading rubric.

    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to connect with me.

    WEEK 2 – 81%

    The first two sections of Part A are really significant improvements in the extent to which the descriptions are thorough and well-developed. The third paragraph on religion is more brief and could benefit from additional information. Try to be consistent in fully developing each section of our assignments.

    In Part B you demonstrated critical thinking in drawing some connections between the three concepts and crime in modern society. However, the instructions for Part B state the following:

    _"In section B, in addition to information from the textbook, you must also use information on crime in modern America from at least two outside sources. "_

    You did include information from outside sources in Part B, but you did not include anything from the textbook. Always go back and reread the instructions after completing your draft. This will help you to avoid leaving parts out.

    Finally, you have cited all of the quoted passages in your analysis. However, you have numerous paraphrased passages for which no citations were provided. As I indicated in the video for the Module 1 assignment (at 2:22), you must cite not only quoted information but paraphrased information as well. This is information you have taken from a source but rewritten entirely in your own words. Here is an example. You wrote:

    "Another idea from Durkheim’s work is that social life is religious. The purpose of religious ceremonies is to worship social life. Religions enhance cohesion among members of a society. They reaffirm ideas and sentiments that bring members of a society together. Religious ceremonies enable members to stick together."

    This is accurate and in paraphrased form, but you haven't followed it with a citation. The only citation you have in that paragraph is for a quoted passage. Failing to cite paraphrased information is plagiarism, so please focus on this in our subsequent assignments. If anything about this is still unclear, please connect with me so that I can provide whatever additional clarification you need.

    In the Module 2 discussion assignment, you earned credit for your replies. But please remember that you can earn the full 30 points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your replies.

    WEEK 3 – 47%

    In the first paragraph of Part A you discussed class and used information to support this part of the discussion from one of the textbook articles by Weber. The second paragraph of Part A uses information from the commentary by Garner and Hancock (p. 103) and from the article by Ritzer (p. 119) rather than by Weber (Ritzer was not part of the assigned reading). The third paragraph, on capitalism, uses information one piece of information from The Spirit of Capitalism but also once again from the commentary by Garner and Hancock instead of the writings of Weber. As you know from the assignment instructions, they asked you to:

    _"You have three assigned readings from Weber (see "Things to do"). One idea/concept must come from each of them."_

    In moving forward, in Part A of our assignments, you need to incorporate and cite plenty of information from the assigned articles by the theorists, not from the commentary by Garner and Hancock or from articles that have not been assigned. Remember that Part A of the assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the work of the theorists.

    Part B is designed to give you an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking. You have tried to do this by drawing connections between banks and Weber's ideas. However, please remember that the information you present to support each of these sections of Part B must come from the sources cited to support that information. For instance, in describing banks you wrote:

    _"They have professionals with expertise in various fields. Individuals are hired and promoted based on merit (Besley et al. 2022, p.39"_

    But after reviewing the Besley et al. article there is nothing in it about banks and hiring on merit (or about banks and hiring at all).

    In the third paragraph of Part B you wrote:

    _"Bank workers uphold ethical values such as honesty, accountability, professionalism, and confidentiality. Their work ethics leads to higher team productivity and individual performance (Hudson, 2021, p.558)."_

    But there is nothing about bank workers or ethical values leading to higher productivity in the Hudson article. Presenting information and then citing it to sources that do not contain that information is a violation of the Troy University academic integrity policy. In light of this, I cannot give you credit for Part B of the assignment unless you can show me where in those two articles the information can be found. If you can demonstrate this, I will be more than happy to revise the grade for this assignment.

    In moving forward, please remember that the information you present must be accurately cited to the sources of that information. In addition, in Part A of our assignments, please focus on providing thorough and detailed descriptions of the work of the theorists from the writing of the theorists as specified in the assignment instructions. I am always available to answer any questions if there is anything in the instructions for our assignments that is not clear to you.

    With regard to replies to classmates, I gave you credit for your reply to Ana, but I could not give you credit for the reply to Winston, as you cited on page 186. But in your reply to me, you indicated that page 181 should be p. 105. If that is true, then there cannot be information on Weber on page 186. If you can explain this issue, I will rethink credit for the reply to Winston.

    WEEK 4 – 89%

    This is a significant improvement over last week. Good work overall on Part A of the assignment. The sections on the sick role and on Merton were the most well-developed. The opening section is accurate but more brief. In Part B, you did effective work in trying to draw some connections between the concepts described in Part A and modern social conditions. The point about the mechanisms through which we learn and internalize values, such as through schools and families, is right on the mark. In the final paragraph of Part B you wrote about "eliminate the effective social constraint over means employed to this end." This is certainly true, but this application does not mention the disjunction between goals and means that lead to the deviant behavior that is not effectively controlled.

    You did an effective job in replying to your classmates on their Module 4 posts and earned the majority of points. But please remember that you can earn all of the points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your required replies.

    WEEK 5 – 100%

    This is your best assignment of the term thus far. You did an outstanding job in both describing the date and making connections between the events associated with the date and the work of the two theorists, Becker and Goffman. This demonstrates both an understanding of key elements in the work of the two theorists as well as critical thinking in applying their ideas to a specific social circumstance, in this case a date. Thank you for your work on this!

    Your replies to your classmates for the Module 5 discussion were effective and incorporated and cited multiple pieces of information from the course material to support each of your responses. You earned the full 30 points for this part of the grading rubric for this module.

    WEEK 6 – 92%

    Very good work overall. The strongest sections of this assignment are the sections on social capital and habitus. The information on fields is accurate but more limited. Try to be consistent in fully developing each section in your assignments. The analysis is well supported, and you demonstrated critical thinking in Part B in applying some of his ideas to modern conditions.

    I do need to ask you not to rely on so many quotations. Quotations should be used sparingly to make a special point, and you are encouraged to use them to do so. But you have about 15 quotations in this one analysis. Please take a look at the link I provided in the Module 1 discussion instructions on how to use quoted material. I did not deduct any points for this as I did not mention it in my feedback to you previously.

    For the Module 7 discussion, you earned most of the points for your replies to your classmates. We only have two more discussion assignments to do in the course. In doing them, keep in mind that you can earn the full 30 points by incorporating, citing, and referencing at least two pieces of information from the course material in each of your two required replies.

    WEEK 7 – 65%

    In my feedback to you last week, I provided the following guidance to help you:

    _"I do need to ask you not to rely on so many quotations. Quotations should be used sparingly to make a special point, and you are encouraged to use them to do so. But you have about 15 quotations in this one analysis. Please take a look at the link I provided in the Module 1 discussion instructions on how to use quoted material.

    Subject: In his work The Republic, Plato describes the requirements for an ideal society founded on the principles of justice, virtue, and fairness. Within this text, The Allegory of the Cave illustrates the function of philosophy as means to dispell ignorance. Do you believe that the ideas shared in this passage are relevant today? What role, if any, should philosophy play within the American educational curriculum? How would you use Plato’s allegory if you were to engage in a philosophical critique of contemporary education?
