For this assignment you will need to compare the three main Sociological Perspectives (Structural Functionalist, Social Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionist) as well as researching one of the main theorists (Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Karl Marx, and Talcott Parsons). The first portion of your essay should focus on one of the theorists listed above or you may choose another theorist if you like as long as a majority of their work was/is based in Sociology.   The second portion of the essay should focus on the comparison of the three theories listed above.   1 page of text minimum per portion (meaning 1 page for theorist and 1 page for the theoretical comparison), no maximum. The only information I need is your name in the top left corner. One full page of text is approximately 600-650 words single spaced in Word or its equivalent.  Your total submission should be at least 1200 words. Please make sure to submit as 1 essay with both portions included.   References and citations required for outside information. 1 Page per topic - 1 page for the theory portion and 1 page of the theorist portion.  2 pages minimum with a combined 1200 word minimum requirement. You can upload both as a single document rather than two separate items. It is typically easier to create the document in Word and then copy and paste it into the text box when submitting the assignment.  Please make sure to always save a copy of the document on your personal computer or flash drive for retrieval if need be. In conclusion, you will need to submit a 2 page essay with half of focusing on the comparison of the three theories and the other half focusing on the theorist of your choice.  

Review and Selection of a Standardized TestIn Unit 1, you read "The Concerns of the Profession" on pages 66–68 of your Psychological Testing and Assessment text as well as the Code. While the Code addresses the roles of test developers and test users separately, you will be following the standards for test users and, specifically, the section on selecting tests (refer page 5). There are nine elements to consider when selecting a test. You will focus on the first four of these elements for this assignment.In your paper:Identify a test category that is relevant to your academic and professional career goals. The List of Tests by Type document identifies the 11 categories you may choose from. They include (1) intelligence/cognitive abilities, (2) achievement/aptitude, (3) personality, (4) behavior, (5) adaptive behavior, (6) neuropsychological, (7) career/business/organization, (8) autism, (9) depression, (10) preschool, and (11) behavior analytic skill assessments.Select three tests from a single category using the List of Tests by Type document. (Note: If you have an interest in a particular test that is not on this list, then you may, as an option, submit a request to your instructor to include it in your first assignment with two other tests on the list in the same category. Your instructor will review it and determine if you may proceed with including that test in your assignment or recommend that you select three tests from the list.)Compare and contrast these three tests according to the Code's first four elements.Access the Capella library and conduct a search. Use the MMY database to locate and read a review for each test.Visit the publishers' website for each test to obtain additional information.Return to the Capella library to choose a database, for example, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, and ERIC (education research). Search for journal articles that are relevant to the four elements and each test. (See the PSY7610 Library Search Guide, linked in the resources, for search advice. An optional worksheet is also provided to you in the resources to facilitate your research and literature review.)Instructions for the content of the paper are in the template located in the Resources. Write your assignment using the u02a1 Assignment Template [DOCX].You may use the Optional Research Worksheet given in the resources to complete this assignment.Additional RequirementsYour paper should meet the following requirements:References: A minimum of nine references are required for this assignment.
