Sociology 3 quick discussions

There are 3 discussion boards I need answered. The first one I have found the article and will attach it here. This is not papers just simple word document that can be copied and pasted. I need this by 5/29/17

Now that you've learned how to find full text, peer reviewed, professional journal articles you are ready to begin to compose your first discussion thread.  

In composing your thread:

(1) after selecting your article save a copy from the Academic Search Complete website or better yet have the ASC website send a copy to your email.  Remember you’ll need to be able to attach a PDF or HTML copy of this article to your discussion thread.

(2) Briefly summarize the key points covered in your selected peer-reviewed professional journal article.

(3) Analyze your article and the related social problem(s) regarding its significance and implication for U.S. society.

(4) You will also be providing evidence to the article’s status as scholarly work. Use the chart below “How to Tell the Difference Between Scholarly Work & Propaganda”, making specific reference to at least four of the eight indicators for scholarly work. Make sure to cite passages from your selected article that demonstrate each of the four indicators you have selected.

Definitions: Scholarship: “academic works” Propaganda: "publicity to promote a specific ideology, or misleading publicity"

You will be writing up your discussion thread as a “Word” or HTML document to be "pasted" into the text field that appears after opening the "new thread" tab.

(5) Save a copy of both the ASC journal article as well as a copy of the thread you've just written as a Word or HTML document.

(6) Open the discussion forum,

(7) Select the “Create a thread” tab,

(8) Input the title of your thread in the title field of the new thread.

(9) Select the paper clip icon (third row down second from the left).

(10)Select the “my computer” tab,

(11) Go to and select the saved copy of your chosen journal article from your computer.

(12) leave the attachment in the  "open in a new window" option and submit.  

You should now have your thread's title and a hyper link to your attached article. Now go to your discussion thread which you saved as a word or HTML document. Place your thread into “copy” and then “paste” it into the text field of your new thread, I'd prefer you "cut & paste" your thread here, rather than use the "attachment" function. I see everything at once in the grading process by having you follow the above submission instructions.

Now you are ready to submit the thread to the forum/discussion board.

Remember to read and reply to at least one of your fellow-students' threads, Use the reply tab at the bottom of any class member's thread to reply to your classmates’ work.  Try focus your comment on the specifics of how their thread contributes to the class discussion. Perhaps try using one of the three classical theorist's point of view.  A substantive reply should address issues like the importance of the selected topic, your view on the implications for U.S. social life and the accuracy of the evidence they provide to substantiate the scholarly nature of the article. Just restrain form posting a simplistic, agree/disagree- type response.

You are required to post one original thread to this discussion ( 250 word minimum ) before the due date for this unit. Also submit a thorough and thoughtful response/reply to at least one of your fellow student's threads. Remember to utilize the concepts from the related chapter(s) in your analysis and reply.

Discussion 2

Our text first address the concept of globalization on page 70, however, most of the discussion regarding the effects of globalization are found in chapter 10 where Immanuel Wallerstein's "World Systems Approach" is introduced along with analysis of high medium and low income nations. Also central to our understanding of the effects of globalization and the theoretical analysis of this phenomena are the conflicting perspectives of "modernization theory" versus "dependency theory". A final discussion on globalization is located in section 18.2 of our text.  After a through reading of Chapter 10: Global Inequality, section 18.2: gloabalization, and viewing the video links below-  (1) take a position on globalization regarding its positive and negative effects on core, semi-peripheral and peripheral nations and their workforces. Make refference not only tothe efects of these nations but also the effect on inequality within those nation.  (1.a) Cite direct quotes / data sets / facts from our text to support your position on this first question. (2) Make special reference to the history of U.S. labor relations and worker rights as it relates to our current attitude toward organized labor in the U.S. (2.a) Again, support this perspective with references to the text and/or the videos). (3) Compare and contrast the early U.S. policies toward worker compensation and worker rights with those of  current labor-intensive, low income countries as they attempt to move into modernity.
