Discussion
A
For discussion questions read carefully and answer the question asked.

I suggest the
following guidelines :
(1) Outline your answer before starting the discourse (Place your outline at the top].
(2) Answer as if you were explaining to a friend, someone who is unfamiliar with
the topic -not as if you were discussing with me.
(3) Be as complete as possible.
(4) Write so I can read your writing--print or cursive but must be legible.
_______________________________________________________________
• A.
Thoroughly list and explain the characteristics of a
sociological image of reality and a mass media image of reality .
Read the Xeroxed enclosed news article carefully. Classify the
article as either a sociological image of reality or mass media image
of reality and support your choice with specific references to the
article. As a last paragraph identify the broad model of human
behavior this article takes and support your position.

• B. You want to evaluate the effectiveness of
a voucher system for public education.
Outline a research design, using the steps
in the scientific process that would answer
this question?
• [ Be sure and include the following in your
answer (a) why is this method appropriate?
(b) how would you go about this study? (as
you did in A02 list the steps of the research
process after step "2 review of the literature"
including creating possible data you could
have obtained from the research)]

• D. Compare and contrast the Bushman and South
Africans in The Gods Must be Crazy in as many
specific aspects as you can (beliefs, values,
expressive symbols, norms and sanctions,
language, technology etc.). Be sure and define the
sociological concepts as you use them. I strongly
suggest using an outline form on the back of the
previous page.
