    your favorite sport activities including watching

    help shape your ideas about your life and how you
    interact with others? How do sports bring you,
    and others, a sense of meaning and purpose in
    social life? How are sports related to important
    spheres of social influence such as family,

    listening to the news, reading articles, doing
    research, etc. that illustrate race and racial
    diversity in sports. Have major professional
    sports franchises eliminated racial barriers in
    participation in every aspect, including coaching
    positions and ownership? Explain your position

  • SOC 318 Week 2 DQ 2 Deviance and Sports
  • For more course tutorials visit

  •  
  • Deviance and Sports. We read and hear news
    reports about performance enhancing drug use in
    sports so regularly some may think all athletes
    are taking them. We also hear and read regular
    reports of athletes committing crimes and
    carrying unlawful weapons. Is deviance out of
    control in sports, or is deviance just behavior
    thats interfering with the status quo and not
    really a problem to anyone other than wealthy
    people with property to protect?

  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.newtonhelp.com
  •  
  • Gender Ideology and Sport. Think of your favorite
    sport activities including watching sports
    television shows. Do men and women actively
    engage in sport together? How are gender
    differences portrayed? Consider how masculinity,
    femininity, and male-female relationships are
    displayed inthese scenes and about what these
    activities and shows tell you about American
    culture and socialization. How are gender
    differences in foreign cultures treated?

  •  
  • social Class and Sport. Consider your
    observations and personal experiences in sport.
    How does social class distinction (other than
    race) influence sports and sports participation?
    What sport is more influenced by class
    distinctions participation and why? How are golf
    and tennis different than baseball and football
    in respect to social class participation? Why?
    What about boxing? How does sport increase
    democratic and economic equality in society?

  • Commercialization of Sport. What changes occur in
    the meaning, purpose, and organization of sports
    when they become commercial activities? How does
    such a commercial arrangement benefit members of
    a society? What does sport commercialization tell
    us about the standard of living of the society
    supporting it?

  • SOC 318 Week 4 DQ 2 The Media Sports Complex
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.newtonhelp.com
  •  
  • The Media/Sports Complex. Many suggest that media
    and sports are so interconnected each could not
    stand on its own. There is also no doubt our
    modern world of experience is at least partially
    informed by the media. But, how are sports and
    media interconnected? Do media influence sports
    related choices and actions?

  • SOC 318 Week 5 DQ 1 High School and College Sport
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.newtonhelp.com 
  • High School and College Sport. This is a complex
    problem we cannot resolve in a discussion forum
    but it is worthy of exploration. We also read in
    the text that differences exist between high
    school and college interscholastic sports in
    fundamental ways. What are some of the most
    significant differences in your view and what
    should be done to increase the opportunities for
    student learning? Should HS programs be better
    funded by tax payers? Should college sports be
    abolished? Explain your view using the
    sociological terms and elements you have learned
    to this point.

  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.newtonhelp.com
  •  
  • The Future of Sport. As we explored sport in week
    one, we noted sports are social constructions
    used to bring meaning to life. The text suggests
    people will create the future of sport too. How
    do you think this will take shape? What sports
    will emerge in the world of the future? Will we
    see fewer power and performance sports, or more?
    Will we see more pleasure and participation
    sports, or less? Explain your view using the
    sociological terms and elements you have learned
    to this point.
