Read “Street Corner Society,” in e-reserves, and do the following assignment:
- Measure the research performed in “Street Corner Society” against the research model in the text book. What does the model say about how to do research and does the author follow all of these steps?
- Write 1 1/2-2 pages on which steps of the model the author uses and which steps he does NOT use. You must address each of the steps. If you feel that the researcher does NOT use a particular step then simply indicate that he does not use it. If you feel that he DOES use a particular step then explain how he uses it. When you get to step 5 (research methods), discuss which research method, or methods. that the researcher uses. You don’t have to indicate which research method, or methods, he does not use.
- Describe any norms that the author violates in the course of his research. Students frequently forget to do this.
Sample Solution
someone else is making the choice for them. Battin claims that no act is fully rational with coercion (131).Ã This demonstrates that suicide by force could not be rational because if you are being forced with no other options then there is no way that could fully be your decision. Battin also reinforces this in which one of her criteria is that it should meet the interests of that individual (Williams, cited in Battin 1995, 146). Also, both of these points fail the criteria of ability to reason, in which they can move from premises to conclusion (Battin 133). If the individual is being forced or influenced by others, then they cannot figure out the premises or conclusion by themselves. If suicide is forced or not their decision, then it does not meet their interests but the interests of others, demonstrating that suicide in that regards could not be rational. One objection to my argument could be that the person was able to make those decisions by themselves even if they were coerced or influenced by anothe>
