Purpose:  The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with the way sociologists conduct research and communicate their findings to the public.  By completing this assignment, you will learn how research is conducted and presented in sociological journals. You will also learn how to critique a journal article.  This assignment is worth a possible 75 points.

Directions (Part II):  Using the College’s online databases, locate a peer-reviewed article that is based on a sociological concept or topic of interest to you.

A. Identify your sociological concept or topic of interest1. Using the College’s online databases find a peer-reviewed article in sociological journals that is based on a sociological concept or topic of interest to you2. Read your article and identify the major components of the study (i.e., the Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, and Discussion)

B. Write-Up1. Identify the major components of the article and briefly describe each component of the research study2. Write a critique of the article by discussing how the article relates to your sociological concept or topic of interest and what you have learned as a result of reading this research study.3.

You will need to use two sources to write this critique analysis.  The first source is your textbook.   (Use the current edition of the textbook that we are using for our course).  Your textbook will assist you in better understanding your article and writing your critique.

The second source is an article from a peer-reviewed journal published within the last five yearsthat addresses a sociological concept or topic of interest to you.   The article you select to write your critique analysis must be data-driven. That is, the research study must incorporate theexperimental or correlation research design. Moreover, the article must have the major components of a research study (i.e., An Abstract, introduction, Methodology, Results, and Discussion sections) you must use the ASA Style manual or the APA Style Manual (6th Edition) to write your paper. Here’s the format for writing your paper:

1. A title page with the title in the middle of the page 2. Page numbering in the upper right corner beginning with 1 on the title page 3. In-text citations in ASA or APA format (that means the citation follows either the quote or the   paraphrase of the information provided)4.

From the 1600s to today, the education of young children in the U.S. has changed dramatically and has been influenced by social, economic, and political events and trends. To develop a better understanding of these events, view the Early Childhood Education 101 Timeline below.

1. Choose at least two events from the timeline that you feel have had the greatest impact on early childhood education: the Kindergarten movement, founding of the National Association for the Education of Young (NAEYC), Sputnik, etc. 
2. Briefly summarize each event in your own words. 
3. Explain how you think each event will impact your work in early childhood education.
4. Be sure to support your summary and explanation with a reference to the textbook. Include this reference in your post.

Guided Response: After reviewing your classmates’ posts, respond to two of your peers who wrote about different events than you did. Describe how these events will impact your work in early childhood education.

Discuss how you can apply the concepts learned in this course (Law and Ethics in Public Health). How might the lessons you have learned positively impact your career success?

ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS or MORE EACH)

                                                  CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE

There are many ways to apply the concepts of this course to future career endeavors, especially with the tools that I have collected. Yet these tools of law and ethics can provide public health professionals with far-reaching powers to improve the health of communities. Their use, however, also raises ethical dilemmas, for example, social marketing campaigns might be effective in combating smoking or obesity but bring up negative stereotypes to make their points. In some situations, or circumstances, the rights of the larger population have taken precedence over the rights of the individual. Law and Ethics in Public Health provide you with the tools to decipher things at face value and show the importance of doing the least harm, respecting autonomy, showing compassion, being truthful, and seeking justice. This course was difficult, and I will most likely use some of the concepts that I have learned but I am glad to move on because of the demands of the course. As I said earlier, sometimes the rights of one are overlooked for the rights of many even though it is called Law and Ethics in Public Health with public being the key component.
