Describe the different forms of collective behavior, and explain why people participate in collective behavior

Section One: Describe the different forms of collective behavior, and explain why people participate in
collective behavior. Is all collective behavior bad for society? Why or why not?
Section Two: Analyze a current social movement of your choice according to the sociological principles
and findings from your reading this week. Are some social movements an indication of the climate in
society? Why or why not ?

how social movements can recruit people to do evil. Can you fit the analysis into groupthink and
dehumanization into the analysis?

How much phosphorus and potassium would this supply in oxide forms?

Q1. You take a soil sample from your field, weigh it moist, oven-dry it, and weigh it dry. If the initial weight is 77 g and the final weight is 62 g, what is the gravimetric water content? If you know from previous soil sampling that the bulk density is 1.25 g cm-3, what is the volumetric water content? Make sure to show your work for full credit!

Q2. How much monoammonium phosphate (MAP) would you need to apply to an onion crop to get 30 lbs. N per acre if the fertilizer bag reads 11-52-0? How much phosphorus and potassium would this supply in oxide forms?

describe at least one idea which might be used to support with eating/feeding challenges of children. Do you think the idea will work?

Young children and teens tend to be “picky eaters.” This may lead to an imbalanced diet, poor intake of vitamins and minerals, and an increased risk of nutrient deficiencies. In this discussion you will gather and share ideas to help with this problem. Your first post should include the following three points.

1) Choose to discuss either toddlers/children OR ‘tweens’/teens. Briefly discuss the reason for your selection.

2) Using the HON website from Unit 1, research to find a reliable source for specific tips and strategies on how to encourage children to eat a well balanced diet. Include the web link to the specific article.

3) Using your research, describe at least one idea which might be used to support with eating/feeding challenges of children. Do you think the idea will work? Why or why not? Have you tried any of the ideas with your family or seen others use the suggestions? Discuss.

If you were the CEO of a company, how would you ensure employees operate at a high ethical standard?

Companies are expected to act ethically and to ensure their employees act ethically as well. However, we know the level of ethics expected is not always the same as the level of ethics in practice. Take a moment to share your thoughts on the following questions about ethics, in light of what you have learned in this course.

If you were the CEO of a company, how would you ensure employees operate at a high ethical standard?

In your opinion (and experience) did Glass correctly identify the primary source of our collective “political socialization?”

In 1986, J. Glass argued that a parent’s political orientation is the strongest determining factor in predicting a child’s future political preferences (i.e., most (or many) Republicans grew up in Republican-leaning households and most (or many) Democrats grew up in Democrat-leaning households). See “Attitude similarity in three generational families: Socialization, status inheritance, or reciprocal influence?,” American Sociological Review , Vol 51, 685-698 (1986). You can access the article using the hyperlink below. You do not need to reference many if any details from the article, other than the author’s thesis (the article is very technical and quantitative in nature – my brief description of the author’s thesis, above, is all you need to write your essay).

1. In your opinion (and experience) did Glass correctly identify the primary source of our collective “political socialization?”

2. What other sources or factors influence our political preferences?

3. Glass’s article was published in 1986. In your opinion, is political socialization today largely similar to political socialization in 1986? If so, how is it similar? If not, how is it different? What implications do your observations have for political candidates, organizations, and/or institutions?

4. Finally, please identify (and briefly describe) at least two aspects of our course material thus far (from the text, lectures, or discussion postings) that help you to understand political socialization differently than you did prior to beginning our class. (The pictures below show past discussion posts and should give some insight for this question.)

What is “ex post facto” and how does this concept fit in with Superfund liability or enforcement?

Use Kentucky as the state of Interest.

Select a US state of interest, and reserve your discussion prior to completing your research… this means, please select a state and start a post with the state name in the title. This way, we will not repeat states and cover a broader geographic expanse in the discussion. Do not select a state someone else has already saved! Once you have completed your research come back into the discussion and edit your thread to complete the assignment. There are two topics for this weekly discussion, please select one of the following:

Query the internet for your state’s Abandoned Mine Program. Describe your state’s program including the specific issues that they are dealing with. If you can locate a specific mine site that has been reclaimed, describe it here and provide a picture or map if one is available. Feel free to use either the state you currently live in or the state you grew up in or any other place that sparks your interest. You will be surprised at the different issues that different states are faced with! Don’t forget to share with us any interesting figures or images you encounter in your search.
The assignment for this week relates to the Superfund. Superfund liability is part of the answer to the assignment. The US Constitution has a clause regarding “ex post facto” laws. Many state Constitutions also have a similar clause. Your task is to find and read this clause.What is “ex post facto” and how does this concept fit in with Superfund liability or enforcement? Be sure to direct your discussion at the state level.
