1 . What manifest and latent functions might exist for a health club?

2. Which sociological perspective makes the most sense to you as a means to study society? Why?

3. Think about an organization or business that you are involved with. What things might an interactionist be interested in studying about this organization?

4. Max Weber argued that we need to understand the meanings that people give to their actions and ideas. Do you agree or disagree with Weber? Why?

5. George Herbert Mead argued that the self develops through interactions with others. Do you think that your personality or self developed through your interactions with others (parents, friends, teachers) or was it something that you were born with? Give an example from your life to support your view.

Unspoken Rules

• Why do we say, “Bless You!” when someone sneezes? Do all people say it?

• Why do we instinctively walk on the right side of a sidewalk? Do all people walk on the right side?

• Why do people instinctively line up when they are trying to get in somewhere or talk to someone? What would happen if they didn’t form a line? Who decided we should stand in a line?

• Why do we shake hands when we meet someone? Do all people shake hands? Who started this?

We do things every day without even thinking about them. They are the unspoken rules of our society. In this lab, you will choose a common social rule. You can use one of the examples above or choose one of your own. Use online sources, as well as what you learned in the unit, to help you answer the questions.

1 . What is the unspoken rule that you decided to research?

2. Where did this unspoken rule come from?

3. Is this rule universal or particular to your country or region?

4. What would happen if everyone suddenly stopped following this unspoken rule?

5. Cite the sources you used for your research.

PROBLEMS FOR PRACTICE

1. When gaseous HI is irradiated with radiation of 2350 A wavelength, it is observed that 1.85 • 10*2 mole decomposes per 1000 cal of radiant energy absorbed. Calculate the quantum efficiency of the reaction
[Ans. 1.9]

2. A certain system absorbs 3.0 • 1016 quanta of light per second. On irradiation for 20 minutes,
0.002 mole of the reactant was found to have reacted. Calculate the quantum efficiency of the process.
[Ans. 0.669]

PROBLEMS FOR PRACTICE

1. What is the energy in kcal of one mole of photons of 2573 A wavelength?

2. Calculate the energy of one photon of light of 2450 A wavelength. Will it be able to dissociate a bond in a diatomic molecules which absorbs this photon and has a bond energy equal to 95 kcal per mole?
Planck’s constant (ft) = 6.626 • 10*27 erg s molecule*1 Velocity of light (c) = 3 • 1010 cm sql

Avogadro’s number (N) = 6.02 • 1023
flint: Calculate the energy of the photon. If this energy is greater than that required to break the bond (bond energy), dissociation of the bond will happen.

3. Calculate the value of an einstein of energy in electronvolts for a radiation of 3 • 101S sql
frequency.

4. Calculate the value of the einstein corresponding to radiation of 6000 A wavelength.

5. Find the value of an einstein of energy for radiation of 4240 A wavelength.

4. If a 2 mm thick plate of material transmits 70% of the incident light, what percentage will be transmitted by a 0.5 mm thick plate?

Conflict theorists often look at social stratification in society. Describe two different situations or examples of stratification that you have witnessed in your own life. For example, where do you see different levels of wealth or power in society or have you witnessed acts of discrimination that illustrate differing levels of power?

Class-public speaking

Think about your activities and hobbies—music, dance, athletics, games, and so on—and identify teachers, coaches, and other mentors whose feedback helped you improve. How would you describe the helpful criticism they offered? Discuss the way they phrased their criticism, and recall how you reacted, both when you first heard their comments and later. From your discussion, draw conclusions about what you can do as a listener to provide good feedback and how, as a speaker, you can learn from the feedback you receive from peers.

Discuss the difference between categorical frequency distribution and grouped frequency distribution using examples.

Calculate the molar mass of water (H2O) by adding up the atomic masses of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms. Remember to consider the number of atoms in the molecule when calculating the molar mass.

Solve the following integral: ∫(2x^3 + 5x^2 - 3x + 4) dx

Remember to use the power rule for integration and follow the steps to find the antiderivative of the function.

Balance the following chemical equation: 

Fe + O2 -> Fe2O3

What would you say to someone who has a great balance in their schedule at college?

Write a paragraph about the picture as follows. Make sure to write in normal paragraph form (don't separate or identify sentences).

Sentence 1: Introduce the subject of the picture

Sentence 2: Use the passive voice to describe something where we don't know who performed an action in the picture, or it is not important.

Sentence 3: Use active voice to describe something showing who/what did the action

Sentence 4: Use the passive voice to describe something where we know who did the action in the picture but don't identify them

Sentence 5: Concluding sentence

Imagine I gave you an airplane ticket that leaves tomorrow for anywhere in the world. Answer the following questions in 1 paragraph, and make sure your sentences match the tenses of the questions.

1) Where will you go?

2) What will you be doing while you are on the airplane?

3) What time does your flight leave tomorrow?

4) When are you arriving at your destination?

5) By the time you come back to HCMC, what will you have done during your trip?

Discussion:Race,Ethnicity,and identity

1 .How do you identify yourself relative to race, ethnicity and/or culture? Make sure to refer back to the definitions within the module. 

2.Is race, ethnicity and/or culture an important part of how you identify yourself?
Why or why not? 

3.How do you feel about these labels? Do you think labels accurately reflect identity?  

4.What other social markers make up your identity (i.e. age, gender, religion, geography, etc.--only share what you feel comfortable sharing)?
