STRICTLY USE ONLY THE WORK REFERENCES THAT ARE PROVIDED. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WORK REFERENCES!! Please answer any 5 the following questions using all relevant course material—lecture notes, readings, and class discussions. You should keep your answers under one page double-spaced, but you should also demonstrate your understanding of course concepts and material in order to earn the maximum points possible. Your answers should also be written in complete sentences and paragraphs and in your own words. Do not simply copy or cut and paste material from the lecture notes, the readings, or other sources, as this is plagiarism! Poor quality writing—including grammatical, spelling, and syntax errors—will detract from your score. Each question is worth a total of 10 points. 1) Identify a subculture and a counterculture in our society and explain what makes each group a subculture or a counterculture, and then choose one of the groups and explain how you can apply both the functionalist and conflict perspectives on subcultures and countercultures to the group. 2) Using the Dyer reading and Goffman’s discussion of resocialization in total institutions in the lecture notes, explain three similarities and three differences between prisons and the marines as total institutions that attempt to resocialize their members. 3) Use each of the four theories of deviant behavior discussed in the lecture notes to explain why gang activity is a significant problem in many inner cities in urban areas in our society. 4) Provide an example of both formal and informal social control any college or university in Connecticut and explain a strength and a limitation of each type of social control in preventing the deviant behavior it is intended to address. 5) Using the reading 17 by Conley, explain two ways in which the internet is negatively affecting our sense of self as individuals, and also discuss what you think are positive aspects of these changes.
