sociology

As part of the first exam, you are asked to write an analytical essay to discuss the role of social relations in a social phenomenon of your interest. First, based on the text by Scott (2017) and other course materials, describe the fundamental differences between relational data (e.g., mutual friendship, trust) and attribute data (e.g., individual income, education). What are the advantages of using relational data over attribute data? Second, based on a concrete example, discuss the extent to which ones acquisition of life chances (e.g., promotion, support) may depend more on social relations rather than individual characteristics (e.g., qualifications). Briefly explain why central individuals have more advantages in acquiring the life chances of your interest.

You must adequately incorporate theoretical concepts, examples, and empirical evidence introduced in the textbook and other course materials to support your essay. Do NOT use outside literature, except for empirical data, if necessary.

All in-text citations (approx. 5-10) must be done using double quotation marks such as … directly cited statement… (Wellman 1988:10). Only quote directly relevant statements so you have an adequate amount of your own writing.

Any academic style (e.g., APA, MLA) is acceptable. For an example, read “Quick Tips for ASA Style.” Using a statement, phrase, or idea without appropriate citation is plagiarism.
