Now you have done two reflection/reaction papers, the final exam is just to write a similar paper on one of the two following essay questions (according to APA style of writing). As required before, the paper on the topic you choose must be at least 2 full pages (main body), a 2-4 full page essay is preffered (not including the title/cover page). The references page should be separated and on its own at the end of the paper. Abstract is not necessary and not counted. Writing needs to be double-spaced per APA style. You must cite the textbook at least twice in your paper/essay. Make sure to include your reactions or reflections. You may include other resources if you want.
Explain Robert Merton’s theory of deviance (strain theory). Use examples to clarify the different types of behavior and indicate which behavior, in your opinion, is predominant in US society.
Define the American class structure (system) and explain in details the characteristics of each class. Also, do you think that the gap between the rich and poor is now widening? Why or why not. You may research this second point, if so, you need to cite the source(s) used per APA style of writing.
