Religious Discrimination

Respond to at least two colleagues by selecting one of their examples to review further. Research and report on a situation in which that group experienced treatment on the other end of the spectrum of oppression or privilege, either in the present day or during an earlier historical period. The response can be 1 paragraph

1st colleague:
Jacqueline:

Just as the dominant members of any group benefit from privilege and leave the minority group disenfranchised, oppressed, and marginalized the same pertains to religion. Throughout history, particularly Western history, Christianity has been the dominant religious group. Those who refused to conform to the dominant religion were persecuted, or even killed. Mass amounts of Jews and Muslims have been slaughtered for their beliefs in history from the German Nazis to the Crusades (Adams et al, 2018, p.265). The privilege that Christians experience today still in the United States many times goes without notice.

In the United States Christian holidays are what govern the days off provided to employees. Propaganda, television specials, and retail stores all reflect that of the Christian holiday occurring at that time of year. Christians are free to worship openly without having to be afraid of being hurt or killed for their beliefs. Even in the court system people are expected to swear on a Christian bible. Jury members, politicians, and the president of the United States are almost always part of the dominant Christian group. Traveling around the world Christians can have the privilege of openly practice their faith without fear of violence, unlike non-dominant religious groups.

Xenophobia exists in the United States today and is expressed through acts of violence towards the non-dominant religious groups (Adams et al, 2018, p.270). An example of this is the discrimination Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and Jews experienced in the United States after September 11th, 2001. There have been acts of violence, vandalism, civil rights violations, and hate crimes against these non-dominant groups.

Social Behavior and Conflict Theory

Sociologists argue that the sociological perspective combined with the scientific method gives them the ability to make significant contributions toward an understanding of human social behavior. Describe how a theorist from each of the three sociological perspectives (structural-functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism) would go about studying behavior in a college classroom. What questions would the theorist ask, and what would the theorist be likely to do?

Sociology Matter of Life or Death Reflection

At the start of the semester I mentioned a book called Sociology as a Life and Death Issue and explained my fondness for the title of this book as it relates to my own views about the value of thinking sociologically.

For the essay portion of the exam you need to write a maximum 3 page reflection essay on the idea that sociology is a matter of life or death. Your essay should show your knowledge of the course material, critical reflection on the essay topic and basic ideas presented in the course, and ability to support your claims with logic/evidence. A well written essay will show an integrated knowledge of the course material.

Please note that simply regurgitating my lectures/course content is not sufficient – I am looking for a thoughtful and critical answer to the essay question. Be concise and thoughtful in your answer. I will not read beyond the 3 page limit.

Artworks that Reflect on Human Relationship to Animals

Discuss four artworks, created by four different civilizations, that reflect on human’s relationship to animals. (Midterm paper).

Prompt: Discuss four artworks, created by four different civilizations that we have studied, that reflect on human’s relationship to animals. You must describe and analyze the artworks with special attention to how the animal(s) (animal hybrids, and/or human animal hybrids) and humans are rendered and how the humans and animals interact with one another. What greater message does each artwork reveal about the values/beliefs/customs of the civilization responsible for its production?

Artwork selection: Read the prompt carefully and select the artworks you write on thoughtfully. Each of the four artworks you select for discussion must be taken from a different Chapter PowerPoint posted to a course module (be sure to double check the PowerPoints as each one contains only a selection of artworks from a textbook chapter). We have covered Chapters 1-6. Properly identify each artwork discussed (include the title and date from the PowerPoint). Your discussion of the artworks must include descriptions and analyses of the formal properties and content, in addition to what is known about the context in which it was created.

References: Your paper must be phrased in your own words and it should build on information found in the textbook and course assignments (successful papers will not include text copied and pasted from course assignments, but instead consist of new text generated for this assignment). You may conduct additional research, but only reference the following credible sources: books, scholarly articles, museum websites, and Khan Academy.

Formatting guidelines: Your paper must be at least 3 full pages of text (and no more than 4 full pages of text) and contain an introduction with a thesis statement, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It is to be typed in Times New Roman 12 point font and double-spaced, with one-inch margins. If you quote or closely paraphrase, please keep it to a minimum, and include proper citations in MLA or The Chicago Manual of Style format. Attach a bibliography to the end of your paper. Proofread your work for typos and grammatical errors. You do not need to upload reproductions of the artworks.

I have attached the four pieces of art work from the powerpoints that can be used!
