Multiple Choice Assignment

In Barron's How to Prepare for the AP Exam, read the last two passages in Practice Test A.

Answer the questions for those two passages. As you answer the questions, place a mark by the
questions for which you make an educated guess.

After completing the multiple-choice questions, check your answers.

After looking over the explanations of the answers, calculate the percentage of questions which
you correctly guessed. Do this by putting the total number of guesses on the bottom of a fraction
and the total number guessed correctly on the top of the fraction. Then divide the bottom into the
top. Example:

Total correct guesses = 5

 Total guesses = 10

5/10 or 5 divided by 10 = .5 or 50%

Remember, for guessing to help you in the exam, the percentage correct when guessing should be
60%.

Submit the equation for your guessing on this section. Include the total correct guesses divided by
total guesses and what percentage this was for you.

Include a few sentences explaining whether your guessing percentage is where it should be. If
your percentage is where it should be, what are your strategies for guessing and your process of
approaching multiple-choice questions? If your percentage is not where it should be, what can
you do to improve? What do you need to work on to improve?

Assessment 04.11 Multiple Choice

Submit your calculated percentage and explanation of your percentage in 04.11 Multiple Choice.

I made four guesses and three of them were correct, which would been 75% of my guesses were
correct (3/4=0.75). I think my biggest problem with guessing is I tend to go ahead and circle what
I think the answer /could/ be without reading all of the options, or I just skim over them and
choose whicever one seems right at the moment without much thought. Usually, I can see what
mistake I've made looking back over the problems.

SOCIOLOGY QUESTIONS

Review Questions

1. Who are three founding fathers of sociology and what is one idea that each contributed to
sociology? The three founding fathers of sociology are Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Karl
Marx.

2. What is the sociological imagination? Why is it important to our understanding of society? The
sociological imagination is the idea that sociologists must approach human relationships as
outsiders (from a subjective point of view) in order to really examine, study, and understand
them. This method was first described by C. Wright Mills and is important to our understanding
of society because it allows society to be viewed from the general, rather than the personal. This
allowd for an easier identification of social patterns, and an unbiased one, at that.

3. How do the three major sociological perspectives view society? The functionalist perspective
sees society as being like an organism in which all pieces must operate/coordinate together.
Functionalism believes that the dependency arising from a result of the 'organism-like' societal
structure means that all change causes more change; change in one piece will cause change in
another piece, and vice versa.

4. What is sociology? How does it compare to other sciences? Sociology is defined as the
scientific study of social behavior and human groups. Sociology can be described as a 'social
science', or a scientific discipline that looks at human society. One thing that does set sociology
apart from some sciences is that it tends to borrow from many different scientific disciplines in
order to draw conclusions, rather than staying solely within its area.

5. Why would a sociologist study something that is common sense? Sociologists seek to find
reasoning and explanation behind what is taken for granted as 'common sense'. Rather than just
state something is true under the notion of 'common sense', sociologists like to be able to find out
why that thing is or isn't true.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. What manifest and latent functions might exist for a health club? Manifest functions that might
exist are improved health and physical fitness. Some latent functions might be increased mental
clarity, positive changes in mood, and perhaps some imagined increases in physical
wellness/health (as the result of a sort of unconscious placebo effect).

2. Which sociological perspective makes the most sense to you as a means to study society?
Why? I think they all make sense and don't necessarily contradict each other. Out of all the
perspectives, though, I think the most significant--at least to me--is the conflict perspective,
because it coincides with the notion of duality/polarity within society and the world at large.

3. Think about an organization or business that you are involved with. What things might an
interactionist be interested in studying about this organization? Within an organization,
interactionists might be interested in the way that group members interact relative to each other.
An interactionist might also be interested in whether the in-group behavior is similar to the way
group members act outside of the group, and examine the variations of behavior. Not only that,
but interactionists might be interested in the general socialization and motivations within the
group; they might ask why the members have chosen to belong to that specific group, what they
have in common, and how their actions and reactions affect each other.

4. Max Weber argued that we need to understand the meanings that people give to their actions
and ideas. Do you agree or disagree with Weber? Why? I think so. While we can (and often do)
go ahead and ascribe our own meanings to other people's actions and ideas, I think it's valuable to
take time to try to look beyond the self and learn what one person's actions/ideas mean to that
individual. Rather than just make assumptions about why someone did/thought x, we can seek to
understand their reasoning for that thing, even if subjectivity makes it tricky.

5. George Herbert Mead argued that the self develops through interactions with others. Do you
think that your personality or self developed through your interactions with others (parents,
friends, teachers) or was it something that you were born with? Give an example from your life to
support your view. The nature VS. nurture debate is a bit of a puzzle, simply because it's
impossible to know for certain what percent of human personality arises from sociolization and
what percent is purely genetic, or if it varies from person to person. Regardless of if genetics play
a part or not, I do think the self is largely developed through interactions with others, as well as
the products of others (such as art, literature). An (embarrassing) example from my own life
would be my awkward, definitely misguided middle school 'goth' phase, during which I felt
motivated by bands like Bauhaus and The Cure to attempt to dress a certain way, delve deeper
into certain subcultures and movements, and to an extent even behave a certain way or associate
more frequently with a similar type of person. It was, of course, a bit of a fail ('twill always be
hard to take a black-clad 11 year old seriously), but I think subculture in general is a good
example of the development of the self via sociolization.

1: presence of the supernatural - i think the most recently supernaturally inclined film that i found
actually worth watching was the vvitch, released either in late 2015 or early 2016 (not sure about
the date). while the supernatural elements of the film can be interpreted as literal or metaphorical
(or imaginary) within the film's narrative, the way they're depicted reminds me a lot of
romanticism. for one, there's a bit of a 'traditional' supernatural flair, the supernatural creatures
being witches and the devil. these supernatural elements are shown in a morbid and frankly
gloomy manner, which is another thing i've noticed is common with the representation of the
supernatural in romantic literature (they don't, for example, have friendly ghosts or funny
werewolves)
