education

analyzes the future impact of a social problem of your choice – note: you must use a DIFFERENT social problem from the one you used in your first assignment. In this assignment, you will cover:

1.    The scope of this social problem over the last 30-50 years. (Note: you will need to use historical data to articulate the scope of this problem.)

2.    Your own original analysis of how you think addressing the social problem could be improved. In this analysis, please mention what you think should be done to solve this social problem. Use your own viewpoint and voice, as a sociologist, rather than relying heavily on sources for this section.

3.    Define four concepts from our readings/materials that relate to your chosen social problem and analyze how these concepts help us better understand the social problem you are discussing. Concepts include ideas such as stratification, ethnicity, sexism, and others as mentioned in our readings and materials (NOTE: these are just examples of concepts – they may NOT apply to your topic – you need to select concepts that apply to your own topic).

4.    Define one sociological theory from our readings/materials that relates to your chosen social problem and analyze how this theory helps us better understand the social problem you are discussing. Sociological theories include functionalism, conflict theory, feminist theory, symbolic interactionism, and others as mentioned in our readings and materials.

Note – you may find our Sociological Theories and Concepts Toolkit to be helpful (found in Announcements).

Do not use unverifiable, secondary sites such as Wikipedia, about.com, ask.com, and similar. Use our course materials, peer-reviewed journal articles from the library, and other scholarly sources.

Your paper should utilize sound critical thought and it should include appropriate APA in-text citations and full APA references at the end.

The Association Between Sleep Disturbance and Depressive symptoms

I conducted a survey looking for the association between sleep disturbance and depressive symptoms. It will first ask for your age and sex. It will then use the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-R) to assess the presence of depressive symptoms, which consists of 20 questions. You will then complete the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality, which consists of 19 individual questions that create 7 components. Participants will complete the study by clicking on the appropriate answer of the measurement used.

Since Im not a liberty to suggest who has depression or not infer to people with higher scores on the CESD-R as (still healthy) individuals that may have a greater tendency to depression.

The report should be around 7500 words and all data analysis should only be through SPSS.

The writer should also provide (on a separate document)
-SPSS output (usually only quantitative)
– SPSS data files (usually only quantitative)

I have attached the outline and guidelines the writer needs to follow for the report. (The declaration, acknowledgement and appendix section is not needed)
Abstract
Intro
Method
Results
discussion

In the attachments below I have attached my proposal so the writer can get a clearer idea of what the study is about. As well as the raw SPSS data which needs to be analysed.

This was a tip from my supervisor for the analysis section
“You could include sleep disturbance as a potential predictor in a MLR model that you could run using a survey.”

Appraising Legal Issues Related to Cyber Crime Investigations

The syllabus for the Georgia v. Randolph (2006) case contains a summary of the case and the primary legal issues that were discussed in the case. Be sure you have read the entire syllabus, paying particular attention to the consent legal issues at hand. Using the syllabus, your text, the internet, and other academic sources, explain how the Randolph ruling might apply to cases involving computers and/or other devices that contain digital evidence. In the absence of consent, what other exceptions to the search warrant might apply to computers or other high-tech evidence, and to what extent? In a 3- to 5-page paper, articulate your answer and provide at least two practical examples.

Note: This Assignment requires outside research. Use at least two credible sources beyond the text material and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used. You may consult the online Library, the internet, the textbook, other course materials, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper in-text citations and references in APA style.

Gang Violence

Juvenile gangs have become a serious and growing problem in many areas throughout the U.S. Gang involvement means a commitment to law violations as well as antisocial behaviors.

Describe three of the most common forms of antisocial behavior in organized gangs.
Describe three proactive solutions to gang violence.
Note: This assignment requires research. Use at least three credible sources beyond the text material and discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used.
