Sociology QuestionYou are applying to be part of a diversity, inclusion, and ethics team at your school or workplace. As part of the application process, you must write a cover letter to the head of the Diversity and Ethics Committee. There are two things you must include in the cover letter:Address the two questions about you and your backgroundWrite a one-paragraph response to the scenario providedEach paragraph of your cover letter (there will be three in total) should be at least five to seven sentences long.Each paragraph should be at least 5–7 sentences long.ASSIGNMENT TEMPLATEParagraph 1:Describe how your background and unique perspective would be a valuable addition to the team. Which sociological concepts we’ve explored in this course might help you make the case? Think of aspects like your background, experiences, and talents.Paragraph 2:Give an example of a time when you intentionally looked at other diverse and ethical perspectives in order to make a more ethical decision. Were there any sociological concepts that could help explain your decision-making process? What were they, and what influence did they have?

If you were to work for an elected official, would you prefer to work in a smaller group that is more hands-on, grass roots, and collaborative, or would you rather work in a large, bustling atmosphere of professional politico and consultants? Which do you think would produce better results? Use examples to support your opinion. Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Assignment Details Part 1: Please find an argument to analyze. Be creative! Some suggestions are to use a commercial, letter to the editor (or op/ed piece). Analyze the argument you choose. What is the main purpose of the argument? Is it inductive? Deductive? Are there any fallacies being used? If so, which ones?Part 2:Does the argument align with a philosophical theory or theorist? Choose one philosophical theory or theorist and explain – from that perspective – what you would change to make the argument better. Think about the steps that you could use to improve the argument. For example, if you pick Socrates as a theorist think of how Socrates would reflect upon and engage the argument for change. Look for common fallacies like: Circular thinking – typically restating the premise in the conclusion and creating a “circular” argument Appeals to authority – generally this fallacy considers an argument that we should listen to based on some “false” or “non” authority. Is this happening in your argument example? False cause – in this fallacy the writer or speaker attributes a “false” cause to some effect or result (often you will see superstitious thinking used here). Sweeping generalizations – this fallacy occurs when an individual makes generalizations (usually stereotypical thinking) Equivocation – in this fallacy a person confuses two senses of the meaning of a word (like a free animal- is it free because it doesn’t cost anything or is it free because it is not in a “cage”?) Red herring – very common in political settings. This fallacy is a distraction (think of a big red fish – pretty distracting, right?)Utilize at least 2 credible sources to support the arguments presented in the paper. Make sure you cite them appropriately within your paper, and list them in APA format on your Reference page. Your paper should be 4-6 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, your paper should include a Title and Reference page, should be double-spaced, and include a running head and page numbers.Grading Criteria Assignment Criteria Proficient Descriptor Points Part 1 Selection of argument Identifies the argument selected for analysis, including the source and the type of media: print, television, Internet video, etc.States why this piece is of interest. /10 pts.
