• Read the final Capstone Project instructions in
  the Components of Course Evaluation section of
  this guide or in the Week Five section of your
  online course. Each weeks assignment will be a
  major component of the Capstone Project. Chapters
  1 through 3 will guide you in the process of
  outlining your topic.
• Identify and describe a key issue that affects a
  specific population.
• a. Who is affected by this issue?
• b. How are they affected by this issue?

• SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 2 Methodology for Selecting a
  Sample Population

• Your research proposal for your Capstone Project
  should be written on a topic in which you feel an
  investment and that also is relevant to fields
  within the social sciences. What relevance does
  this issue have in your own life? Does it relate
  to your interests, and if so, how does it relate?
  What is your connection to the population you are
  researching? If the issue does not have relevance
  to you or you do not have a connection with the
  population, explain why not. What is the goal of
  your research?

• Your Capstone Project will focus on a specific
  sample population for future research. In this
  discussion, you will need to do two things.
  First, explain the attributes of the sample
  population that you plan to study. Then explain
  the research methodology you will use to study
  that population. Will you use a quantitative
  approach, qualitative approach, or a mixture of
  both? Which approach do you find most valuable
  and why?

• SOC 490 Week 2 Annotated Bibliography

• SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 1 Social Theories

• The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to
  assist you in developing research analysis skills
  including critical thinking, writing, and
  literature research skills. Using the feedback
  that you received from the assignments and the
  ideas that emerged in discussions from Week One,
  focus your research on the specific population
  you selected and the issue that you connected to
  this population.

• There are three primary social theories
  (functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic
  interactionism) which are used to evaluate social
  problems. In this discussion board, you are to
  evaluate the chosen issue/problem that you
  identified for your Capstone Project from these
  perspectives. Describe how a functionalist, a
  conflict theorist, and someone ascribing to
  symbolic interactionism would explain the key
  issue and the factors that have led to this
  issue.

• SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 1 Psychological Perspectives on
  Social Issues

• As you approach the end of your academic journey,
  think back to all the research that you have put
  into this accomplishment. You have been writing
  and honing your communication skills throughout
  your academic tenure. This week your assignment
  is to create an annotated bibliography. In this
  discussion board, please present the five most
  important things you have learned about research
  in your field of study over your time at Ashford.

• A large portion of the social science major is
  dedicated to the study of individual, group, and
  social psychology. Social psychology examines how
  the thoughts and behaviors of individual humans
  are influenced by the thoughts and behaviors of
  other humans in the various social groups in
  which they find themselves.

• SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 2 Psychological Reflections

• SOC 490 Week 3 Proposal for Statistical Research
  Project

• Having studied group and individual psychological
  theories, as a follow up to this weeks first
  discussion, analyze your online academic
  experience from one of the perspectives found in
  social psychology. What group behaviors, beliefs,
  and interactions influenced your own
  psychological states and behaviors in the
  classroom when you began in online education? How
  did you initially respond to those behaviors? Has
  your response changed over time? If so, how have
  you changed? If not, how have you maintained
  consistency?

• Having identified a population, an issue/problem
  that relates to that specific population, and
  then gathered academic resources that relate to
  the issue, you will now be asked to propose a
  statistical research project that directly
  relates to the social issue you identified for
  your selected population. Pay special attention
  to Chapter 7 of the text as well, as it has
  excellent information on variables that one can
  adequately test and general designs for
  experimentation involving statistical analysis.

• SOC 490 Week 4 DQ 1 Ramifications of a Solution

• SOC 490 Week 4 DQ 2 Ethical Research in the
  Social Sciences

• If the key issue that you are researching were
  solved, what would be the historical,
  psychological, ethical, and social ramifications
  of this solution? How would the course of history
  change if this issue were resolved? How would the
  group psychology of the population you are
  studying change or how would it need to change in
  order to solve the problem? How would the ethical
  relationships within this group or surrounding
  this group change if this key issue were
  resolved?

• Find the most interesting, bizarre, or blatant
  example of a violation of good ethical conduct in
  research in the social sciences. Explain the
  experiment. What theories, ideas, behaviors, or
  phenomena were being analyzed? What were the
  attributes of the population that the researchers
  chose to use for their experiments? What did they
  do to the population over the course of the
  experiments?

• SOC 490 Week 5 Capstone Project

• SOC 490 Week 5 DQ 1 Final Reflection

• Develop a research paper, in which you analyze a
  key issue facing a population segment in order to
  propose an area for additional research. Your
  research will
• Part I Background
• a. Describe your chosen population segment.
• b. Explain one major social issue facing your
  selected population segment.
• Provide statistics and background data to
  document the social issues facing your selected
  population segment.

• This is the final discussion, and because there
  is only one this week, there will be many tasks.
  However, they should be quite enjoyable for most
  of you. In the following discussion, you will
  reflect on your overall academic experience.
  Remember that your answers will in no way
  influence your grade. Instead, they will be used
  as engines for reflection on what professors and
  course designers can do to strengthen this
  program and the components of this program.
