Description

Page 1: Only 2 Paragraphs , Both questions are not related / they’re separate.

Question 1: Why do people feel either alienation or community in the city? What do sociologists say about this topic? Do you see one side or the other or can you relate to both? Remember to back it up with sociological facts

Question 2: Cyclical theories assume that civilizations are like organisms: They are born, enjoy an exuberant youth, come to maturity, and then decline as they reach old age. Finally, they die. Look for articles about the natural cycles of civilizations in sociological journals then write a forum post explaining your viewpoint on this. Remember that you must cite sociological material.

A one-page (3 Paragraphs ) response of Cultural Lag

We are living in what is referred to as the “Technological Age”. With the first mass production of computers by IBM in 1981 (IBM 5150) the world was forever changes. Many of you have never lived in a world without computers or cell phones. Unfortunately many of the world’s citizens have little knowledge of the technology that runs many of our lives. We even have a term for it ‘Cultural Lag’. Do some research and tell me who suffers the most from cultural lag and why. What are some of the long term effects of this phenomenon?

Remember to include statistics where relevant. Try organizations like the United Nations the World Health Organization, the Red Cross to gather information.
