The format of this paper is an example of how a basic social science project is executed and written up. Notice that I have broken things up into manageable chunks and with page number suggestions (please use headers for each sction). Also note that you can copy and paste a lot of this information from your earlier essays 1-4, but you will need to do some editing to make it good. You might have to omit some stuff, add some stuff, or move some stuff around.
Here is the organization format for the final paper:
I. Introduction: Write an overview of the Paper and Project (what this paper/project will do) (Approximately 1 page)
II. What is sociology, what is the scientific method, and what does it mean to think structurally/critically? (Here use Paper 1) (Approximately 2pages)
III. Theory/Review of the Literature and Hypotheses. What sociological themes help me think about the project topic. Pick a few things that relate to your topic and show the connection. Here you can use Conflict Theory, Functionalism, Symbolic interactionism, Critical Race, or Feminist Theory. You can use social stratification. (Approximately 2 pages)
IV. Research Methods: What are research methods, what are the main research methods in sociology, and how did I go about learning about this topic (e.g. what method/methods did we use)? (Here use Paper 1. Approximately 2 pages. You have to add the tasks (data collection) we did for the Community Schools research)
V. Results and Analysis: What did I learn from doing this research: What are community schools, what do they do, what do they look like, and are they the same everyhwere? (The word “analysis” can be hard to define. Here it means two things: 1) you just take a moment to think critically about what you have observed. 2) Compare and contrast the different Wards. (Approximately 2pages)
VI. Reflections and Conclusions: What are the limits of community service and what does sociological research have to offer us in terms of dealing with social problems. Does service end the problem or perpetuate it? (Approximately 1 page)

For this , choose a topic from one of the following chapter 7. Then write a research paper in which you explain the issue, identify at least three ways to address the issue, and conclude by discussing which of the proposed solutions you believe would best help to resolve or reduce the problem you identified.
For example, suppose that you choose to write about inequality in educational attainment. In chapter 7, there is information regarding research in this area and, also some analysis regarding why the problem exists.
You might write a paper identifying the factors that contribute to the inequality in education, identify at least three ways to address the issue (might want to do some research on programs that try to do this), then conclude by discussing which of the proposed solution(s) you think would work best to address the issue.
This paper must be at least 4-5 pages long (cover page, if used, does not count toward page minimum). If you cite sources make sure to include a “References Cited” page – this too does not count toward the page minimum. You almost certainly will need to do some research and so you will need to cite those sources.
You may use either MLA or APA format. Please use 12-point font, one-inch margins and double-spacing.

For the final paper you will be able to choose a number of options to explore social stratification: the structures of social inequality. As you will notice from the following options, each one of them is based on one of the previous sociological paper options. Although the assignments are similar, for the final paper you will have to complete a more comprehensive examination of social inequality, paying particular attention the intersections.
Each paper should be 8-10 pages (double-spaced) and should include extensive references to the course materials, news analyses, and possibly your book review. This means you MUST have a works cited page with ASA-style citations (or a citation style you are most familiar with for your discipline.) Your paper should indicate which final paper option your chose in the heading and does NOT require a title page. In addition, if you are building on a pervious paper you submitted during the semester, please attach that paper as well.
For the second sociological paper option you will be required to watch at least two episodes of “The Wire” or alternatively the film 13th. “The Wire” is HBO series that uses Baltimore as a case study to highlight the social problems within our social systems and institutions. Although this may not have been the creator’s original intention, many sociological themes emerge in each and every episode. David Simon, creator of “The Wire”, says:
We are a culture without the will to seriously examine our own problems. We eschew that which is complex, contradictory or confusing. As a culture, we seek simple solutions. We enjoy being provoked and titillated, but resist the rigorous, painstaking examination of issues that might, in the end, bring us to the point of recognizing our problems, which is the essential first step to solving any of them (taken from a longer finale letters, see reverse for entire letter).
In this paper, I would like you to analyze the story in the episodes you have chosen to watch and then relate it to the different social institutions that we have covered in part II of the course. The social institutions for assessment include: Family, Education, Work and Economy, The State and Public Policy, Media, and Language and Culture (although we have not yet covered it in this section, you may also discuss Violence and Social Control). In assessing these institutions you should pay particular attention to the structures of difference and inequality that are created, maintained, perpetuated, and possibly challenged; specifically issues of race and ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. Additionally, if you notice other social institutions that are touched upon in the episodes please address them as well.
Needs to include work cited page
