Central to the Oresteia is the confrontation between old and new forms of justice.

Using both the Iliad and the Oresteia explain this confrontation and transition. Your answer should be between 900 and 1500 words, not counting any footnotes you might have, and double-spaced.

I have chosen to write about social networking and how it has had a huge impact on society within the last four to five years. Sites such a Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have literally changed the way teenagers, students and colleagues interact with one other. One site in particular that I would like to focus on is Twitter. A social networking site that has millions of users and allows them publish posts up to 140 characters long. Notable users who use this site are Barack Obama, John Mayer, Kim Kardashian and other large media groups. This website is basically like a digital billboard and has had a pretty big impact on the way people/businesses communicate. This website is also in the form of an app which makes it convievent for the everyday smart phone user to get access to.

I would like this paper to analyze twitter through a Functionalist Lens. Specifically focusing on Durkheim and Parsons and the way they project society as an ideal picture of a harmonious social relationship that is concerned with the maintenance of the social order and it’s functionality.

Two references from the required text is preferred

**(THESE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PAPER)

Purpose: To be able to affectively apply the Consensus Theoretical Paradigm (functionalist/structural functionalist) to a cyberspace activity/phenomena that you have chosen and has been approved. You will be using some particular theorist’s line of argument or, a particular concept (for example: social facts, integration, function, solidarity, equilibrium, anomie, AGIL, systems, values and norms, etc) to serve as explanatory guides or tools to understand the particular cyberspace activity. In other words, you will be arguing that consensus functionalist theory (any variant of it) is a viable means of understand this particular cyberspace activity. This is not a place for criticism of Consensus Theories. You are to pretend to be a functionalist/structural-functionalist and through that perspective and with the use of theoretical tools and concepts, explore why we engage in this particular cyberspace activity.

Requirement:
1. 5 points – you should have already chosen an activity in cyberspace.

2. 80 points – you must, in 4 solid pages (Times Roman, 12 pt font, 1 inch margin, double space), present a compelling consensus functionalist/structural-functionalist argument for the particular cyberspace phenomena. You can either use one concept and explore it in detail, or, you can use a combination of consensus concepts … or, you can pretend to be a particular theorist giving a talk on this cyberspace activity. Remember that the key is that you are making a case for the validity of consensus/functionalist/structural-functionalist arguments and indicating that this paradigm offers valid tools to understand the phenomena. You must correctly use at least two (2) citations from our course reading. In addition, you can use other sources, but make sure to cite and reference correctly. Citations properly used and formatted with the inclusion of a reference page will be 20 points out of the 80. If using short quotes, make sure to properly cite in your paper and reference at the end of the paper. Check the ASA citations guide that is on the “Assignments” page in BB.

3. 15 points – since this is a writing assignment, you must pay attention to the following:
a. Check for proper grammar
b. Spell check
c. Proofread, proofread and proofread … over and over again
d. Make a logical argument
e. Have proper structure and proper flow in the paper

4. All assignments must be formatted in Microsoft Office. So, documents must have a “.doc” or “.docx” ending to their name. Only these documents can be attached in the assignment icon in Blackboard. If you turn in a different format, such as .wps or .rft or …, your submission will not be graded. We might not even get to it until after the last deadline and by then, you cannot make a change. Please check your formatting and avoid this problem.

I.Introduction
◦State the purpose of the paper. Clearly identify the study being critiqued, by title and authors. Summarize the research question, hypothesis (if a quantitative study), and background information on the topic from the study’s literature review. Did the authors present a well-balanced summary of current knowledge about the topic? Is there any apparent bias in the literature review?

Were the procedures chosen appropriate for the study? What alternative methods would you suggest?

III.Ethical Aspects
◦Analyze ethical issues pertaining to this study. Did the researchers explicitly address ethical issues in the article? If not, was there evidence in the report that the participants’ safety and confidentiality were protected? Was an approval process by an Institutional Review Board or similar ethics review committee mentioned? Were any of the practices ethically questionable (deception, coercion, etc.)?

Evaluate the overall efficacy of the research study by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of aspects of its design and implementation. Identify the limitations noted by the researchers and add any limitations you see that were not mentioned in the article. Describe the directions for future research proposed by the authors and evaluate their appropriateness. Recommend at least one idea for a future study that will overcome some of the limitations of this study. Keep in mind that this suggested future study will serve as the basis for your Final Paper.

Part 1: 10 points
Depiction of Family Tree or, when genetics unknown use depiction of Table 1-1 (Also found again in Figure 11-1) of leading causes of death related to nutrition in the U.S.(Hypertension, not listed, is at number 13). Where there is a current/past state of health, this is written beneath/next to/above that person in the tree. If hand-drawn, should be neatly written. Use Internet if you would like to Google for ideas for putting a tree together.

Part 2: 25 points – broken down to include the following: discussing what happens if you do not take preventative measures to a pre-existing risk and/or other diseases which could be the result of not taking these measures (I call it the “domino effect”). Do not explain each relative and what they have in part two – this is the purpose of your family tree or some type of depiction for risk in Part 1. Discuss your risk you learned from looking at the tree.

• 5 points: Discuss risk factors determined from looking at your tree; if you have a healthy tree, remember to discuss more about your risks from table 1-1 since that table indicates those risks related to leading causes of death in the U.S., with number 13 (not listed on table) as hypertension. For more information about risk factors, read Concept of Risk Factors in Ch 11.

• 5 points: From what you found, discuss risk as related to your health, for example, a higher BMI (you may have to look up those risks associated with what Body Mass Index is, discussed in Chapter 9, by looking at weight circumference and body weight) to see if this, or those in your family have history with obesity/overweight. Other risks to discuss include your diet risks associated with cardiovascular health and cholesterol, hypertension, physical movement, smoking, alcohol. For more information about assessing your risk, see Cardiovascular Diseases, Nutrition & Hypertension, Nutrition & Cancer in Chapter 11

• 10 points: From the risks found, discuss your diet appropriate for the disease risk: Broken down to include:
o 5 points: Use SPECIFIC food examples contributing to or preventing various states of health. Increasing fiber is important to discuss for various findings in your tree – be specific as to the kind of fiber and specific examples. Other examples of foods include antioxidants (be specific), saturated fatty foods (be specific), grains (good vs bad). See Chapter 11 to help you in discussing appropriate diet related to your risk

o 5 points: Discuss modifications of Diet as related to various state of health. Examples include dieting to reduce overall calories, DASH diet, fat, fiber, antioxidants and other strategies for risk reduction. Again, be specific.

• 5 points: Discuss Domino Effect (this is what I call this – this term is not in the text). How will not taking any measures versus taking action discussed for those items you discuss affect your health in the long term.
