Ideas for a Sociology Paper?

ChewYxRage said:
Anyone have any good ones? I was thinking about something with sports culture but not sure if I can find enough info. Help me out yo!


Which Sociology year are you in? First, second, third? (presumably as you are higher up your degree your sociological knowledge would accumulate)
If you have sufficient knowledge try tackling topics like Modernity & Identity.

Sociology was one of my major in BA and I was very much into researching on critical theory, Foucault, Giddens..Marx etc.

How about the "Fast Food" culture? How some people keeping search for a "fast" way to do things (like diet) in lieu of changing their habits or working hard? This can be applied to many things, in addition to health, diet and excercise. For example, buying a diploma in lieu of going to school.
 
How about the effects of illegal immigration on the stability of the culture.With all the current immigraton issues in the media right now,.. there is a lot of info available.
 
Not sure how much this translates into sociology, but I once did a paper about crowd management/the crowd mentality at sporting events. Sounds a little boring on the surface, but I had some fun with it and related it to marketing techniques.
 
How about the exponential emotional decay of the average american "soccer mom" as it relates to common sense behavior in public.

Sorry, i hate those no manners bitches
 
Great suggestions, I'm getting some ideas flowing. Thanks all.

G&C - sociology is not my major, but this is the third soc. class I've taken here cuz I think it's interesting. It's a 200 level class so the paper doesn't have to be amazing but my aim is most definately to get an A :)

I might look up some info on critical theory and marx, it's something we discussed in class and my teacher might like it
 
talk about facebook and its effect on college life...too bad there's no studies on it.

Some chick IM'd me from facebook and I went over ot her place and wrestled her in her hot tub.

Not a bad idea. Would be tough with nothing to reference though.


If you get some pussy from stalkerbook I'll start trying to use it for this purpose :)
 
Chewy you need to login to WoW, transfer your character to Cenarius, and hook me up with gold.

Tough to write a paper on that, but it really seems like a good idea.

At least i hope it was you that we had the WoW discussion with

I like that. Despite the weight of scientific evidence against Fad diets, there are still a large percentage of celebrities who feel "owned" by the public and feel that slim is beautiful. Maybe the psychological reasons behind excessive dieting by celebs (rene Z who played Bridget Jones looks terrible now from excessive dieting).

Like a woman with a bit of structure myself!!!!

I was in the conversation but I was talking mmporgs in general. I never played WoW because I'm scared of what I will become (or what my social life will become) :worried:

You need to drop some scientific game on those poor unsuspecting broads.
 
ChewYxRage said:
Yeah...like "Hey baby, let's experiment with fluid dynamics and stuff"

I think I hit on some girl back home with a line like, "Hey baby, howsabout you and I make a completely inelastic collision" or something like that. I don't remember exactly, but it was funny at the time. To me.

I really need to start going for girls my age, lol.

Sociology ideas:

-Online communities and the effect on social structure over the last decade.
-The Simpsons - defining an age.
-Take an iconic movie from each decade (e.g. rebel without a cause - 50's, Saturday Night Fever - 70's, Boys n the hood - 90's, and I cant think of any off the top of my head right now for 60's, 80's and oughts) review them and write a paper on the social impact of fatherhood in these movies (eg. presence, abscence of, etc.) through the lens of popular culture.
-Write a paper on the changing sexual mores from the 50's to 2005 and what impacted the changes over time (new stds, free love, pop culture, etc.).
-Hand in a blank paper and tell them to draw their own fucking conclusions.

Well, The Simpsons has been bleed to death and one of the reasons why I didn't enjoy American Beauty. Heard it all too many times.
 
I know its a little morbid...but I've always been facinated with sociopaths (bundy, manson, etc.) and what makes them tick. I don't know if you want to do something like that.
