I have to write a sociology paper on racism, what's a good research question?
"Why does racism exist?" You could find A LOT of answers for this. "What groups are more prone to racism or racist attacks?" "To what degree is it acceptable to use race as an excuse to get away with things?" You can word this better than me, probably. But what I mean is often times incompetent people are fired and they somehow find a way to blame them being fired on discrimination and sue the company. "Why do different races have different cultural 'habits'?" Like, why is there a higher drop out rate among black people than there is white people. "Is it acceptable for the minority to make racist comments about the non-minority?" It happens. As a white person, I've been subject to several racial comments from people in minorities, even though I'm white. I'm not saying that it's any worse than being of a minority and subject to these comments but it does happen. "Is it acceptable for people to make fun of their own race?" My thing is that often times people make fun of their own race in front of people who are not a member of that race and expect them to NOT contribute to the conversation, then they get mad when they do. Good luck on your paper!
Describe how a market economy adapts to change?
A market economy seeks the equilibrium point where the price and quantity combinations the suppliers can accommodate (the supply curve) intersects with the price and quantity combinations that the consumers will accept (the demand curve). When certain changes occur in the economy, such as a change in the price of oil, there can be a shift in either the supply curve, the demand curve or both for a product or service that is affected by the change. Depending on the direction of the price change, the curves will shift in one direction or the other, and a new equilibrium point will be established. Other types of changes in the economy might cause the shape of the supply or demand curve to change, making one flatter or steeper or more curved. This can be caused by technology changes, or attitudes driven by something like a higher level of concern about the environment. When the shape of a curve changes, the equilibrium point may need to change as well, if the shape changes at the old point.
A women's body image, How society's views women's bodybuilding and strengh?
I view weight bearing exercises and strength training as an essential part of fitness for both men and women. However, women with the man-muscle look are typically doing unhealthy things, such as reducing body fat to an unhealthy low level or taking steroids. Male bodybuilders and athletes may also fall into that trap. Steroid use and loss of essential fat are unhealthy for both men and women. I do strength train with weight-bearing exercises often, in addition to doing cardio and flexibility exercises. I can bench press 115 lbs, squat 210, leg press 270, do 30 push ups in a row, and 3 pull ups. Outside the gym, I frequently carry a full 5 gallon water jug, which is about 42 pounds. I'm going to college in a town an hour away from where my boyfriend lives, so I go to his house for the weekend. To do that, I have to carry a 25-30 pound suitcase up and down stairs, along with a 10-15 pound travel bag with laptop and toiletries in it. The heaviest I have ever carried was a 66lb suitase full of books when I was moving from my dorm from spring term to my summer term housing. I would not consider myself buff. I've always thought of buff as a figure like this*. This is what my figure looks like (I'm in the middle)**. But I do feel more strong and capable physically due to working out. Fitness is defined as the physical ability to meet the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of daily life, and I do feel more ready to meet those challenges than I did before I started going to the gym.
