I’m working on a social science question and need guidance to help me study.

1/ Pick a famous politician, business leader, or celebrity who has been arrested recently. What crime did he or she allegedly commit? Who was the victim? What factors best explain how this person might be punished if convicted? If the person was recently tried in court… what was the outcome? Do you agree or disagree and Why? Please include the weblinks you used to gain your information. **DEVIANCE, CRIME AND SOCIAL CONTROL** related.

2/Which social class do you and your family belong to? Are you in a different social class than your grandparents and great-grandparents? Does your class differ from your social standing, and if so, how? What aspects of your societal situation establish you in a social class? Please give examples. **SOCIAL STRATIFICATION** related.

3/Consider the concept of subjective poverty. How do you define poverty? Does it make sense that poverty is in the eye of the beholder? When you see a homeless person, is your reaction different if he or she appears content vs. if they are begging? What would lead someone to beg for money? Would you assist this individual? Why or Why? **SOCIAL INEQUALITY** relate.
