Changing Norms

This discussion forum allows you to think current social norms and traditions.

Deliverables

Your participation in the discussion forum, including the following:

• A response to the initial question(s)
• Responses to at least two other students’ posts

Step 1

Write a post in response to the following prompt:

• • The introduction of sociology as “the study of society” or “the science of man” created a social upheaval in the nineteenth century that destroyed many traditions and social norms. Among these were challenges to religion and the divine right of kings. During the 1960s, other traditions were being challenged by the feminist perspective such as the family and the role of women.
    • What traditions and social norms in today’s society are being challenged in a similar manner?

Step 2

Read and respond to other students’ posts.

Read other students’ posts and respond to at least two of them who used examples different than yours.

Use your personal experience, if it’s relevant, to support or debate other students’ posts. If differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support opinions.

Discussion Requirements

• APA Format, with citations if needed.
• Ensure you do not plagiarize; the instructor will be using Grammarly to check your submissions. Grammarly Premium is offered at no additional cost to you through Spartan; it is not the “Free” online version.
• 250 words minimum (-10 Points).
• Make sure you are answering all portions of the question or questions being asked. Example: If it is a two-part question then you will automatically start at 50 points if you fail to respond to both parts of it.
• Recommend that you use Grammarly (Settings to Academic, Essay, and Plagiarism) to check your post before submitting it, this will allow you to catch all easily correctable spelling and grammar errors (-1 Point per mistake).
• Utilize the information and knowledge obtained from the chapters reading material and use it to answer the question (failure to do this will result in points being deducted). Once you have demonstrated your knowledge of the chapter’s information, it is always acceptable to use a personal experience to give an example of the situation.
• Every student must respond to at least 2 of your classmate’s posts, must be more substantial than I agree/disagree or I like/dislike your classmates post (-5 points).
