Can someone help? Must tie it in with sociology theorists such as Durkheim, Marx, Weber, Homans, Blau, Spencer, and etc. My textbook for the sememester is The Social Lens by Kenneth Allan.

Research Paper (200 points): Adolescent suicide: explore that issue from one or more of the theoretical perspectives discussed in class. I will be looking at how well you apply the theory or theories you apply to the social issue. Please see my grading rubric at the end of this syllabus.

Include a  title page, abstract and reference page. Each page should be no less than 250 words for a total of no less than 2500 words.  Please submit your double-spaced paper in Times New Roman using 12 point font.

You must use no less than 7 – 10 scholarly references, but feel free to use more. Scholarly references are those found in social science journals or other scholarly journals. You can also utilize a book or two but the main focus should be on finding sources that have researched your topic. Please do not get all of your sources from online websites and cut/paste into your paper. Again, you should integrate scholarly research articles into your dialog/analysis.

For your research paper, you must also reference correctly. If you take information from a source, you must give credit to your reference. You must use American Sociological Association (ASA) referencing style. I am here if you have any questions.

Not only must you reference correctly, but you must include a reference page and reference your sources within the text of your paper. For instance, if you write a paper but do not provide references within the text of your paper and/or provide a reference sheet, you will earn a zero for the paper.

In addition, I do not accept “recycled” papers or more specifically, papers that have been written for another class!

You will submit your papers through Turnitin.com which will be available through the Blackboard system. You do not want your paper to go beyond 20%. Please let me know if you have any questions about percentages.
