Instructions

Visit or order take out at a restaurant where the use of multiple languages and other semiotic resources is common. Carefully observe and analyze staff, cashiers, cooks, and other restaurant workers, and pay particular attention to their language use.

Kennesaw State University Sociology of Violence

Question

Sociology of Violence

Issue 1–What Do We Really Know?

1. Examine Figures 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 in the textbook. ALSO, read the FBI Report on Violent Crime in the US (FBI UCR Violent Crime Data for 2019) and specifically refer to Table 1 in that report. What has been the general trend in terms of volume and rate of violent crime in the US from 1993 to 2014 (and 1998 to 2019) based on the data? Is it going up, going down, relatively stable, or mixed?

2. Given that violent crime rates have been relatively going down since 1993, how do you “rationalize” the difference between the declining rates and the increased perceived fear in the US about violent crime?

3. There is evidence that violent crime rates have gone up since 2019. Though still not at 1990’s levels, this rising violent crime rate raises concerns where it takes place. What structural forces (Structural Violence) may account for this rise in violent crimes over the past two years? Is this more of an Individual problem, or one that is Structural in nature?

federal government

/0 Comments/in /by

Question

A). Describe the three systems of government. Discuss the power distribution in each system. Why did the founders choose to create a federal system in 1787? Does the federal system work best for the United States or would we benefit from another system? 

B). The United States Constitution creates an institution that selects the president of the United States. We can say that Americans do not directly vote for the president, that is the job of the Electoral College. Describe the Electoral College process. Why do we use this system? Is there a better alternative for electing the president? 

C). Federalism is based on shared powers between a national government and the states, this can create conflict between the two levels. Discuss in detail the current debate in the United States regarding medical Marijuana. What does federal government law state about medical Marijuana? Discuss how states that allow for the use of medical Marijuana can do so with current federal laws in place. This discussion is not a debate nor shall this discussion be about personal opinions, we are only discussing medical Marijuana as it relates to federalism.
