According to the following graph, in March of 2006, those surveyed were split almost evenly between rating personal finances as good or rating them as poor. However, in 2008, many banks failed as part of a loan crisis, and responses changed. Based on the data on the graph, how would a conflict theorist explain these changes?



Beliefs tend to remain steady unless there is a crisis that causes economic stagnation and individual failure.
People who were not able to maintain a good personal finance rating lost it due to their own decisions.
In times of economic stress, some are identified as not belonging, causing less solidarity.
The forces of capitalism act to reward the rich and maintain their growth even amid a crisis.

[*]LO1Why is sociological research necessary, and how does it challenge our commonsense beliefs about pressing social issues such as suicide?
[*]Sociological research provides a factual and objective counterpoint to commonsense knowledge and ill-informed sources of information. It is based on an empirical approach that answers questions through a direct, systematic collection and analysis of data.
[*]LO2How do the deductive and inductive approaches in the theory and research cycle compare?
[*]Theory and research form a continuous cycle that encompasses both deductive and inductive approaches. With the deductive approach, the researcher begins with a theory and then collects and analyzes research to test it. With the inductive approach, the researcher collects and analyzes data and then generates a theory based on that analysis.
[*]LO3How does quantitative research differ from qualitative research?
[*]Quantitative research focuses on data that can be measured numerically (comparing rates of suicide, for example). Qualitative research focuses on interpretive description (words) rather than statistics to analyze underlying meanings and patterns of social relationships.
[*]LO4What are the key steps in the quantitative research process?
[*]A conventional research process based on deduction and the quantitative approach has these key steps:
[LIST]
[*](1)
selecting and defining the research problem;
[*](2)
reviewing previous research;
[*](3)
formulating the hypothesis, which involves constructing variables;
[*](4)
developing the research design;
[*](5)
collecting and analyzing the data; and
[*](6)
drawing conclusions and reporting the findings.
[/LIST]
[*]LO5What steps are often taken by researchers using the qualitative approach?
[*]A researcher taking the qualitative approach might
[LIST]
[*](1)
formulate the problem to be studied instead of creating a hypothesis,
[*](2)
collect and analyze the data, and
[*](3)
report the results.
[/LIST]
[*]LO6What is survey research, and what are the three types of surveys?
[*]The main types of research methods are surveys, secondary analysis of existing data, field research, and experiments. Surveys are polls used to gather facts about people’s attitudes, opinions, or behaviors; a representative sample of respondents provides data through questionnaires or interviews. Survey data are collected by using self-administered questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, and telephone or computer surveys.
[*]LO7How do the following compare: research methods used in secondary analysis of existing data, field research, experiments, and triangulation?
[*]In secondary analysis, researchers analyze existing data, such as a government census, or cultural artifacts, such as a diary. In field research, sociologists study social life in its natural setting through participant observation, case studies, unstructured interviews, and ethnography. Through experiments, researchers study the impact of certain variables on their subjects. Triangulation is the use of multiple methods in one study—not only research methods but also multiple data sources, investigators, and theoretical perspectives in a study.
[*]LO8What ethical issues are involved in sociological research, and what professional codes protect research participants?
[*]Because sociology involves the study of people (“human subjects”), researchers are required to obtain the informed consent of the people they study; however, in some instances what constitutes “informed consent” may be difficult to determine. The American Sociological Association (ASA) Code of Ethics sets forth certain basic standards that sociologists must follow in conducting research.

Sociologists obtain their knowledge of human behavior through _____, which result(s) in a body of information that helps us move beyond guesswork and common sense in understanding society.
a. research

Correct. Sociologists obtain their knowledge of human behavior through research, the process of systematically collecting information for the purpose of testing an existing theory or generating a new one. Information obtained through research helps us move beyond guesswork and common sense in understanding society.

In the deductive approach, the researcher
a. begins by proposing a theory.

Correct. In the deductive approach, the researcher begins by proposing a theory and then develops research to test that theory. The deductive approach proceeds as follows: (1) theories generate hypotheses; (2) hypotheses lead to observations (data gathering); (3) observations lead to the formation of generalizations; and (4) generalizations are used to support the theory, to suggest modifications to it, or to refute it.

Quantitative research is likely to involve
c. data that can be measured numerically.

Correct. Quantitative research focuses on data that can be measured numerically. This form of research is based on scientific objectivity and often uses complex statistical techniques.

Sociologists conducting research may formulate a(n) __________, which is a statement of the relationship between two or more concepts.
b. hypothesis

Correct. Sociologists conducting research may formulate a hypothesis, a statement of the relationship between two or more concepts. Concepts are abstract elements that represent some aspect of the world, such as loneliness or suicide. Sociologists conducting research may formulate a hypothesis to examine the relationship among different variables, or concepts with measurable traits and characteristics that vary from one person, time, situation, or society to another.

How does the qualitative research model differ from the quantitative research model?
d. Qualitative research begins with a general approach rather than a highly detailed plan.

Correct. The qualitative research model differs from the quantitative model in that the researcher usually begins with a general approach rather than a highly detailed plan. Flexibility is necessary because of the nature of the research question, which involves exploring a topic in depth but not necessarily explaining why a sociological phenomenon is occurring.

Survey data are collected by using all of these methods EXCEPT
a. field research.

Correct. Field research involves the study of social life in its natural setting by observing and interviewing people where they live, work, and play. It is a separate research method from survey research and is not used to collect survey data, which is usually data on aspects of life that are not directly observable, such as people's attitudes and beliefs. Methods for collecting survey research include structured interviews and both face-to-face and self-administered questionnaires.

Which research method is a poll in which the researcher gathers facts or attempts to determine the relationships among facts?
a. survey

Correct. A survey is a poll in which the researcher gathers facts or attempts to determine the relationships among facts. Surveys are the most widely used research method in the social sciences because they make it possible to study things that are not directly observable, such as beliefs and attitudes. They are conducted through questionnaires, interviews, or via the computer or telephone.

A(n) __________ is a detailed study of the life and activities of a group of people in which researchers may live with that group over a period of years.
b. ethnography

Correct. An ethnography is a detailed study of the life and activities of a group of people in which researchers may live with that group for several years. It is a type of field research that involves studying social life in the natural environment. Unlike other field research methods, ethnographies usually take place over a much longer period of time and have the researcher fully immersed in a particular culture or social group.

A(n) __________ is a carefully designed research method in which the researcher studies the impact of certain variables on subjects' attitudes or behavior.
c. experiment

Correct. An experiment is a carefully designed research method in which the researcher studies the impact of certain variables on subjects' attitudes or behavior. Experiments are designed to create "real-life" situations, ideally under controlled circumstances, in which the influence of different variables can be modified and measured.

Which guideline is included in the American Sociological Association's Code of Ethics for conducting research?
b. Researchers must disclose all interpretations of the data they collect.

Correct. According to the American Sociological Association's Code of Ethics for conducting research, researchers must maintain objectivity and integrity in their research by disclosing all interpretations of the data they collect. They should share their research findings in full, even when those findings do not support their own viewpoints.

LO1
What is religion, and what are its key components?
Religion is a social institution composed of a unified system of beliefs, symbols, and rituals, based on some sacred or supernatural realm, that guides human behavior, gives meaning to life, and unites believers into a community.

LO2
What are the four main categories of religion based on their dominant belief?
Religions have been classified into four main categories based on their dominant belief: simple supernaturalism, animism, theism, and transcendent idealism.

LO3
What are the central beliefs of major Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism?
Hindus believe that Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver), and Shiva (destroyer) are divine. Union with ultimate reality and escape from eternal reincarnation are achieved through yoga, adherence to scripture, and devotion. Buddhists believe that through meditation and adherence to the Eightfold Path (correct thought and behavior), people can free themselves from desire and suffering, escape the cycle of eternal rebirth, and achieve nirvana (enlightenment). The sayings of Confucius (collected in the Analects) stress the role of virtue and order in the relationships among individuals, their families, and society.

LO4
What are the central beliefs associated with major Western religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity?
Judaism holds that God’s nature and will are revealed in the Torah (Hebrew scripture) and in His intervention in history. Jewish adherents also believe that God has established a covenant with the people of Israel, who are called to a life of holiness, justice, mercy, and fidelity to God’s law. According to Muslims, Muhammad received the Qur’an (scriptures) from God. On Judgment Day, believers who have submitted to God’s will, as revealed in the Qur’an, will go to an eternal Garden of Eden. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that through good moral and religious behavior (and/or God’s grace), people achieve eternal life with God.

LO5
What are sociological perspectives on religion?
According to functionalists, religion has three important functions in any society:

(1)providing meaning and purpose to life,
(2)promoting social cohesion and a sense of belonging, and
(3)providing social control and support for the government.
From a conflict perspective, religion can have negative consequences in that the capitalist class uses religion as a tool of domination to mislead workers about their true interests. However, Max Weber believed that religion could be a catalyst for social change. Symbolic interactionists focus on a microlevel analysis of religion, examining the meanings that people give to religion and that they attach to religious symbols in their everyday life. According to the rational choice perspective, religious persons and organizations offer a variety of religions and religious products to consumers who shop around for religious theologies, practices, and communities that best suit them.

LO6
What are the types of religious organization?
Religious organizations can be categorized as ecclesia, churches, denominations, sects, and cults (now frequently referred to as new religious movements or NRMs).

LO7
What are some major trends in religion in the United States in the twenty-first century?
One of the most important has been the debate over secularization—the process by which religious beliefs, practices, and institutions lose their significance in society and nonreligious values, principles, and institutions take their place. Fundamentalism has emerged in many religions because people do not like to see social changes taking place that affect their most treasured beliefs and values. In some situations, people have viewed modernity as a threat to their traditional beliefs and practices. The latest-available comprehensive survey on contemporary religion identified a number of trends regarding religion and race, class, and gender, which are explained in detail in the chapter.

LO8
What is the future of religion as a social institution?
Because religion meets many needs that no other institution can provide, it will continue as a major social institution. Organized religion has grown and changed in many regions of the world because of modernization, democratization, and globalization. In the United States, religious organizations have become much more fluid and more diverse. Congregations in the future will hold an even wider variety of beliefs, and adherents will be drawn from many diverse cultures.

[Asphyxia]

The relationship between the individual and something larger than oneself, such as a broader sense of connection with the surrounding world, is known as

c. spirituality.

Correct. Spirituality is the relationship between the individual and something larger than oneself, such as a broader sense of connection with the surrounding world. Spirituality involves the individual's inner, subjective feelings and experiences rather than the act of giving devotion to external beliefs, rituals, and deities that are set forth in established creeds or religious communities.

According to sociologist Emile Durkheim, __________ refers to those aspects of life that we cannot experience with our senses—in other words, those things that are set apart as "holy."

b. sacred

Correct. According to sociologist Emile Durkheim, sacred refers to those aspects of life that we cannot experience with our senses—in other words, those things that are set apart as "holy." People feel a sense of awe, reverence, deep respect, or fear for that which is considered sacred.

A religious belief in sacred principles of thought and conduct rather than in a god or gods is known as

d. transcendent idealism.

Correct. Transcendent idealism is a nontheistic category of religion. It is a belief in sacred principles of thought and conduct. Principles such as truth, justice, affirmation of life, and tolerance for others are central tenets of transcendent idealists, who seek an elevated state of consciousness in which they can fulfill their true potential.

Which of the following is NOT one of the Four Noble Truths of Mahayana Buddhism?

b. One should follow the doctrine of ahimsa—nonharmfulness.

Correct. The teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism, not Mahayana Buddhism, emphasize the doctrine of ahimsa, or nonharmfulness, and discourage violence and warfare. Vajrayana Buddhism incorporates some aspects of Theravadin Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, and Hinduism.

What branch of Judaism is based on the belief that the Torah is binding only in its moral teachings and that adherents should no longer be required to follow all of the Talmud?

b. Reform

Correct. Reform Judaism, which began in Germany in the nineteenth century, is based on the belief that the Torah is binding only in its moral teachings and that adherents should no longer be required to follow all of the Talmud, which is the compilation of Jewish law setting forth the strict rabbinic teachings on practices such as food preparation, rituals, and dress. In the United States, services are conducted almost entirely in English, a Sunday Sabbath is observed, and less emphasis is placed on traditional Jewish holidays.

According to Muhammad, followers must adhere to the Five Pillars of Islam, which include all of the following EXCEPT

d. understanding that the Greater Jihad is the internal struggle against sin.

Correct. The Islamic notion of jihad—meaning "struggle"—is a core belief, but not one of the pillars to which followers must adhere. According to Muhammad, followers must adhere to these Five Pillars of Islam: (1) believing that there is no god but Allah, (2) participating in five periods of prayer each day, (3) paying taxes to help support the needy, (4) fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan, and (5) making at least one pilgrimage to the Sacred House of Allah in Mecca.

Which of the following is NOT one of the three functions that all religions share, according to functionalist Emile Durkheim?

c. production of social change

Correct. Conflict theorist Max Weber believed that religion could be a catalyst to produce social change, not Emile Durkheim. Because of the intertwining of group consciousness and society, functionalists suggest that religion has three important functions in any society: (1) meaning and purpose, (2) social cohesion and a sense of belonging, and (3) social control and support for the government.

A(n) __________ is a religious organization that is so integrated into the dominant culture that it claims as its membership all members of a society.

a. ecclesia

Correct. An ecclesia is a religious organization that is so integrated into the dominant culture that it claims as its membership all members of a society. Membership in an ecclesia occurs as a result of being born into the society rather than by any conscious decision on the part of individual members. Although no true ecclesia exists in the contemporary world, the Anglican Church in England and the Roman Catholic Church in Italy and Spain come fairly close.

A traditional religious doctrine that is conservative, is typically opposed to modernity, and rejects "worldly pleasures" in favor of otherworldly spirituality is known as

b. fundamentalism.

Correct. Fundamentalism is a traditional religious doctrine that is conservative, is typically opposed to modernity, and rejects "worldly pleasures" in favor of otherworldly spirituality. Around the world, those who adhere to fundamentalism believe that sacred traditions must be revitalized in the face of modernity.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the present and future of religion?

a. In the twenty-first century, we are likely to see a dramatic revitalization of traditional forms of religious life.

Correct. In the twenty-first century, we are likely to see not only the creation of new religious forms but also a dramatic revitalization of traditional forms of religious life. Religious fundamentalism has found a new audience among young people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four.

Well... here we go.
