A sewer line needs to be replaced and it has been excavatedwith a back-hoe. The trench is 7 feet deep. The municipality's safety rules indicatethat employees should not go into the trench without a trench box. This rule is toprevent employees from being buried if the trench walls collapse. People dieevery year from trench cave-ins.The trench box won't arrive on site for another 6 hours and the city promisedresidents that the sewer would be fixed by the end of the day, which now seemsimpossible. The City Administrator called Jerry on his cell phone and indicatedthat it was imperative that the sewer be fixed as soon as conceivably possiblebecause a City Council member is served by that sewer line and will raise a fussif it’s not fixed by the promised time.One of the more experienced workers states, "It's only going to take 30 minutes todig under the pipe and loosen the fittings. We don't need the trench box. We usedto do this all the time before we were required to use one of those darn things."Jerry knows he's right. He used to do it himself before the rule was put in place.Also, the soil is clearly a cohesive soil and it's highly unlikely that it will collapse.And although there is an organizational policy to use a trench box for trenchesdeeper than 5 feet, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)does not have jurisdiction over municipalities in Nebraska because municipalitiesare political subdivisions of the State. The only entity regulating safety policies isthe City's Safety Director and he took the day off.1. In this scenario, to what extent do you think allowing the crew into the trenchwithout a trench box would be pushing (or exceeding) the limit?2. Discuss any ethical grey areas in this scenario?3. What in your mind is the right thing to do?Listen7/25/20, 11:37 AMhttps://tlc.trident.edu/content/enforced/169140-ET... Page 2 of 2Privacy Policy | Contact4.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to apply what you learned through the activities and chapter readings. You can reflect on the results from the reading and activities this week to inform your answers.Review the Sociology Matters prompt at the end of Ch. 11.Write a 700-word response to one bullet at the end of the chapter.Sociology matters because it helps you to understand the social change you encounter.Have you had any experience working in a social movement? If so, what kind of social change were you hoping to support? What resources did the movement try to mobilize? Who were the vested interests who opposed the movement?Have you yourself experienced culture lag, or have you observed it in others? If so, what kind of change caused the lag—was it a new technology, or some other kind of change? Did you notice a generational difference in the way people responded to the change? Did you see any open resistance to it?Have new technologies helped you in any significant way, and if so, how? On balance, do you see new technologies as a benefit or a threat to society? Explain.
