Reading reflection

Succinctly answer the following question in 400 words or less:

Historical efforts on the part of unions have been effective in many ways. For instance, unions challenged child labour, and brought us the weekend and the eight-hour work day.

But we still live under a capitalist mode of production.

Change is often conceptualized in a linear way, as something that ruptures with the emergence of new things. How do we make sense of this when considering labor relations/conditions in the U.S. historically, and in the present?

Using a couple of specific examples to illustrate your argument, briefly compare and contrast a) Barbara Ehrenreichs study of working conditions under neoliberal capitalism, with b) the plight of workers in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. With specific consideration to conditions and relations of labour, what, in your view, is new, and what has been renewed/perpetuated?

Create an Innovation

Evaluate the internal processes or strategies within an organization in which you are involved, such as your workplace, school, church, or community group, in order to identify a problem that provides an opportunity for innovation. Then, determine an innovative solution for addressing that problem. Examples of potential solutions are entering a new market, implementing a new practice or process, or even changing management structures. The ultimate goal of your solution should be to increase the diffusion of innovation within the organization and contribute to a culture that appreciates innovation as a key to competitive advantage and organizational success.

Though your final paper will not be due until the end of the course, you should identify your problem and generate potential solutions early on. Begin drafting your implementation plan in stages as you work through the course topics. As with your CLC project, you should research and select a model for evaluating both the feasibility of your idea and the implementation plan. In 1,500-2,000 words, address the following in your plan:

Describe the problem your innovation targets. What is the scope of the problem and which stakeholders, both within the organization and without, does it impact?
Describe your innovation and explain how it addresses the problem. How will it meet the needs of the organization and all stakeholders involved?
How does the innovation contribute to the organizations competitive advantage?
Develop an implementation plan for effectively diffusing the innovation within the organization. Make sure the plan addresses potential resistance and obstacles, including people and processes.
Identify an appropriate method that could be used for measuring the impact of the innovation on the organization. Explain why you think this is a relevant measure.
Finally, assume your innovation is adopted by the organization. Make recommendations for additional improvements within in this organization (in processes, practices, structures, etc.) that could create and sustain momentum for innovation.
Include at least eight in-text citations from at least five secondary resources from your research.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

After the readings this week, answer the following two questions in a minimum of 200 words:

(1) In sociology, we learn about different social institutions, and in this course, we look at the connection between two key institutions: family and government.  In theory, functionalists say social institutions were created and established to aid society in some function.  Families raise and teach the next generation, and the government establishes rules of law and order.  The government steps in when there is a need for additional help or when something needs to be regulated.  What is the result when the family unit it constantly changing, as it has over the past seventy years?  How does the government respond to such change?

(2) Functionalists have their own perspective, but conflict theorists have a different idea.  Conflict theorists, such as Karl Marx, believe society is a competition where everyone is fighting for limited resources.  Based on your knowledge of family policy so far, what perspective or ideas do you think conflict theorists take on family policy, particularly the government’s role in the family unit?

Professor MacDonald is considering taking a job with a major media news outlet. However, his training as a sociologist has him concerned that media is a powerful social force in our society. In order to prepare, he consults a current news story and approaches it from the classical sociological perspectives (functionalism, conflict, and symbolic interactionism). Recall these from Chapter 1.

Your assignment is to find a current story in the news and use your theories to approach it. Please link the story in your post. This can be from any major news outlet, NPR, Associated Press, CNN, Fox News, etc. What would each theory/perspective have to say about how the media in society is viewed or constructed in general as well as specifically applying to your news story? In your answer, define the theoretical perspective as well as show how that perspective would view any or all aspects of the media. Remember to ask yourself your question for each theory–then answer them. You learned your theories in Chapter 1. Please consult them as needed.
