For this assignment, you will need to accurately identify the article’s premise, significant points in support of the premise, and the significance of those points to the course and/or the field. You need to present an insightful and thorough analysis of the article with strong arguments and evidence. Your interpretation will need to be both reasonable and compelling. You will need to apply course concepts in your analysis.
As you write the review, be certain to analyze the type of conflict discussed in the article. Use the classifications discussed in the Unit III Lesson (Rahim’s functional outcomes and Rahim’s dysfunctional outcomes) in your analysis.

content/Topics:
Select a movie, TV/streaming series (select one or two episodes, not the whole series), novel, short
story, video game, or memoir* and analyze how it reflects ONE of these topics:
• Groups – Analyze how primary and/or secondary groups and the components of groups are seen in
the movie, TV/streaming episode, novel, short story, video game, or memoir. In the analysis, identify
and describe the group(s) as either primary or secondary and discuss how the components
(statuses/roles, norms, and power differences) are seen in the source. This information is in the Unit 1
Instructor Summary document (pp. 17 – 19). Do not include in-groups, out-groups, or reference groups.
• Dramaturgy – Analyze how Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective is seen in the movie, TV/streaming
episode, novel, short story, video game, or memoir. Include at least five aspects of dramaturgy in the
concept summary and analysis sections. This information is in the Unit 2 Instructor Summary document
(pp. 7 – 8). The forms of self-presentation (authentic, ideal, and tactical) are not part of dramaturgy –
they do not count toward the five concepts.
• Stigma and Stigma Management – Analyze how Goffman’s stigma and stigma management
categories are seen in the movie, TV/streaming episode, novel, short story, video game, or memoir.
Summarize all three stigma and stigma management categories in the concept summary section. Apply
at least one form of stigma and one type of stigma management in the analysis section. This
information is in the Unit 2 Instructor Summary document (pp. 16 – 17).
Divide the paper into the following sections:
• Introduction – Start with an introduction that briefly summarizes the paper’s general topic and the
media source you chose. The introduction should be approximately 5 sentences long.
• Group Concepts, Dramaturgy Concepts, or Stigma Concepts (the label depends on which topic you
choose) – In this section, summarize the terms/concepts that relate to the topic. All terms and their
definitions must come from the course materials. If you use information from outside sources, 15
points will be deducted from your score. Do not discuss the movie, TV/streaming episode, novel, short
story, video game, or memoir in this section. This section should be about half a page to 1 page long.
• Analysis – In this section, describe scenes that are examples of the terms/concepts related to the
topic. You can also include short dialogue excerpts (one or two lines) as examples of the selected
concepts. This section must be broken up into paragraphs. The analysis should be about 1.5 – 2 pages
long.
• Conclusion – The conclusion summarizes the key points made in the analysis section but consider
extending this in some way. For example, reflect on how realistically the source portrays the concepts or
bring in a final example or quote from the source that you think gets at the heart of the topic. The
conclusion should be approximately 5 sentences long.
*Some media sources cannot be used – they are listed on p. 3.

Dramaturgy in She’s the Man
The dramaturgical perspective views everyday interaction as…
Throughout She’s the Man, there are many examples of dramaturgy. It is the story of a young
woman overtly engaged in self-presentation as she… A little more elaboration on the general
way the source illustrates the topic would follow.
Dramaturgy Concepts
Primary concepts of dramaturgy include….
Summarize all concepts you plan to use in the analysis in this section. Do NOT bring the
movie, TV/streaming series, novel, short story, or memoir into this section – examples from
the media source go in the Analysis section.
Analysis

excerpts, or both.
The front region and sign vehicles are constantly present in the movie. For example,
Viola works very hard to display a confident self to others…

Imagine that a family member is accompanying a patient to a medical appointment. During the appointment, the physician provides the diagnosis of a debilitating illness. The family member begins to realize that they will now be thrust into the caregiver role. Select from the following illnesses: cancer, traumatic brain injury, dementia, or severe mental illness.
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper in which you: Mr. and Mrs. Chen live in an apartment in a suburb of a large city. Mrs. Chen was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 15 years ago, and for the first 12 years, she experienced a relapsing and remitting disease course. During symptomatic periods, she battled fatigue, numbness, and a decline in coordination, but these tended to be short in duration and were always followed by significant periods of remission. However, over the past three years, Mrs. Chen’s symptoms have steadily worsened, and her mobility has sharply declined. Mr. Chen works for a delivery service company and juggles this job with caring for his wife and taking her to all her medical appointments. Mrs. Chen used to be employed at a grocery store, but she resigned when the amount of standing, walking, and lifting the job entailed became impossible. Mr. Chen has had to assume more work shifts to make up for Mrs. Chen’s lost income but finds it difficult to also transport her to all her appointments and be available to meet all her care needs in the home. He often feels overwhelmed and fatigued but doesn’t know how to reduce his workload. The Chens used to go to a ballroom dancing class with a group of friends on Mr. Chen’s day off, but Mrs. Chen is no longer able to dance, and Mr. Chen doesn’t know how to carve out the time. He explains that even if he could somehow find the time, it wouldn’t be any fun to go without his wife.
From this scenario, it is clear that multiple sclerosis has had a huge impact on Mrs. Chen’s life and functioning. But how have Mrs. Chen’s illness and caregiving responsibilities also impacted Mr. Chen? What kinds of support could a social worker offer to someone like Mr. Chen to reduce his stress and improve his quality of life?
In this Assignment, you examine factors that contribute to caregiver stress and identify community resources that can support caregivers. Explain the thoughts and emotions the caregiver may be feeling at the time of diagnosis. Describe the care needed for the illness you selected. Explain the stress experienced by caregivers of patients with this illness. Describe illness-related factors (illness complexity, chronicity, outcomes) that might contribute to this stress. Describe system-related factors (access to care, insurance) that might contribute to this stress. Identify at least three resources in your local area (county or state) that you might use to support the caregiving experience for the chosen illness. Explain how these resources might adequately support caregivers.

second requirement of this course is a writing assignment. For this
assignment, I am asking you to write a review of 7 articles (posted on Canvas). I
want you to read these seven articles carefully and then write your own
understanding of each article (*please do not just summarize articles) and try
to relate them to one another in cohesive paper that has an introduction, main
body, and conclusion. The overarching question that your paper needs to address
is:
What are the limitations of sociology as a scientific discipline and its future
direction(s) in an evolving social world?
You are more than welcome to incorporate your own thoughts and ideas into your
paper and it does not need to repeat what you learn from the articles.
The paper needs to be 10 pages long, in 12 pts Times New Roman, double-
spaced, with margins of 1 inch and no extra space between the paragraphs.
Please remember that the use of ChatGPT and/or any other AI tools for this
assignment is strictly prohibited.
