After you have read Chapter 5 in your text and your online lessons, you will need to complete the following Short Answer assignment:
Step 1: Review the case study of The Saints and the Roughnecks listed in the attached file.
Step 2: In the text box below, write a short answer response to each of the following questions (you may submit directly in the text box or attach a Word document, but do NOT do this assignment in Google docs). Do NOT simply quote the case study to me. THINK this through. I want your OWN ANALYSIS of the following questions. In your responses address the following questions:
1) Analyze this case study using first Micro-level analysis and then Macro-level analysis. How did these two perspectives contribute to the different reactions the two groups received from the community? What different viewpoints do we receive using each of the two perspectives?
2) What were the long term consequences of the community responses to these boys during their teenage years? (how did it affect them as adults)
3) In reading this case study, what observations did you have about conducting sociological research?
