Assignment Help Other Subject
Reference no: EM131596306

Part 1:

Watch the assigned film, Race (run time 134 min), while jotting notes(you will turn in these handwritten or typed notes). Recommendations: Instead of taking notes that summarize the film, I recommend jotting sociological themes that you could use for the topic of your paper.

• When doing this make sure there are time stamps for the film for the themes.

For example, "18 minutes, 20 seconds: gender inequality is depicted when a woman has a job interview for a soccer coach and the interviewee laughs at her and dismisses her before asking all questions on the list."

Here are themes that are in the movie

• Gender & Sports

• Race/Ethnicity & Sports

• Health & Sports

PLEASE TYPE THE NOTES (this should be a page)

Part 2: Identify a theme, identify a topic, and take a position (thesis statement) and create an outline for your paper, which is the evidence to support your thesis.

• Please use this theme:Deviance, Violence, & Sports

o Questions: How does deviance & violence manifest (directly or indirectly) in Race? Or is it mitigated?

• Find a topic, and take a position (thesis statement)

Create an outline for your paper, which is the evidence to support your thesis: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE (this should be a page)

Example Outline:

Introduction

Theme: Economics& Sports

Citation: define economics according to assigned text

Topic: Economic consequences for athletes

Position: Economic consequences outweigh the economic benefits

Citation from outside source regarding importance of topic

EX) X% of US sports players go bankrupt within 3 years of quitting professional sports.

Final thesis statement: Although sports have economic benefits such as upward socioeconomic mobility, athletes are more affected by the deleterious economic consequences such as hyper-consumerism, lack of financial advisory, and bankruptcy as shown in the movie Make Money, Play Ball (1989).

Counter evidence & refute (sports have economic benefits)

EX1) Citations from outside sources regarding economic benefits

Sports create extreme upward socioeconomic mobility (cite)

EX2) In Make Money, Play Ball, Johnny goes from living on food stamps to living in a mansion.

Weaken the counter argument with evidence for my argument

EX1) Only 3% of athletes make it to the professional level (cite)

So few are seeing these benefits

Even if they do make it pro, economic consequences (hyper-consumerism, lack of financial advisory, bankruptcy) still outweigh benefits

Evidence 1: hyper-consumerism

EX1) Citations from outside sources to demonstrate hyper-consumerism

The average player spends $XXX,XXX per year (cite)

The average player has 5 cars (cite)

EX2) in the movie, Johnny buys 3 cars, 2 houses, &only wears designer

Evidence 2: lack of financial advisory from sports' organizations despite coming primarily from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.

EX1) Citations from outside sources to develop evidence 2

60% of players come from a family struggling to live above poverty line (cite)

Only 4 professional NFL teams require financial advising (cite)

EX2) in the movie, Johnny's coach encourages hyper-consumerism by buying him luxury items when he does well and makes fun of him when he borrows a mid-level car while his is getting fixed.

Evidence 3: bankruptcy

EX1) citations from outside sources

X% of athletes file for bankruptcy (cite)

EX2) by the end of the movie, Johnny is back on food stamps

Conclusion

Briefly restate thesis and evidence supporting thesis

Implications for sports in general

Economic consequences currently outweigh benefits

But this could change if sport institutions addressed the problem

Place less value on new venues, gear, etc. (consumerism)

Require financial advisory ... (lack of financial advisory)

Create incentive programs to save money (bankruptcy)

Part 3:

• Write an essay that reflects your thesis statement (position) and provides evidence to support your claims in the form of scientific evidence and evidence from the movie.

• Make sure to bold your thesis statement which should be located within the first two paragraphs of your writing. Each claim should have evidence in form of formal citations and evidence from the movie.

• Your essay is not a summary of the film rather a sociological analysis. When providing evidence from the film, keep descriptions brief.

Clarity, Organization, and Formatting:

1. Your paper should be clear (use topic and conclusion sentences for each paragraph) and organized.

2. The paper should be 3 1/2 pages (not including title page or references page), double spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1 margins, free of grammatical errors and typos.

3. Include a title page with your name, a title for the paper, your citation style used, and finally a one sentence description of your thesis for the paper.
