Anonymous asked: I really need help with this asap. My article is about how the laws have changed over decades, also including digital media. Basically, the changes of societal norms. what sociologist theory would be the best to fit my article ? ( conflict theory, control theory, constructionism, labeling theory, or any other theories ?) thanks for your time.

The time stamp on this ask isn’t loading, so I don’t know how long I’ve kept you waiting, anon. Sorry about that!

Your question is reallyyy quite vague - Any way you could be more specific?

cattp0ssibl3 asked: I'm a sophomore in HS, and am looking at colleges(parents want me to get a head-start), Currently St. Francis College, is my #1 choice. Currently for major options I'm looking at.. Majoring in Sociology and minoring in Marketing, or a double major in Sociology and Public Relations. I need job options for the future, could you give me like a list possibly of good jobs in those fields?

A bit of googling will yield a lot of articles, lists, and discussions on jobs you can be aiming for with those degrees.

Here are a few pieces I found: 1, 2, 3.

justonemap asked: For the anon wondering about the FBI. By the time you apply, you must be three years drug-free and have no recorded drug violations.

So, there’s your question answered, anon. 

One of them, at least.

Thanks justone!

Anonymous asked: for the board of sociologists, something to tell the difference between the new right and functionalism would be awesome, i always get the two mixed up, especially the 1950s american lot. durkheim and parsons are the only two functionalists i can ever remember ><

Noted! Of course!

#1: Does this mean I can assume these are all from the same person?

#2: Dude, I am not going to answer this as I a) am not sure if you are trolling or not, and b) am in no way an authority on such subjects.

#3: I don’t know, what do you think? True: I’m not a huge fan of being commanded to answer weird hypotheticals.

dalia-ciupailaite asked: Hi, it would be nice to have find function on the blog, or maybe I just don't find it. I was searching something to illustrate undergraduates about the role of theory in sociological enterprise. not particular theory, but theory on general. thanks. keep up the good work!

Hello there! I just added one at the bottom of the sidebar! I hope it’s helpful, though I’m not sure what search terms you’d need to find what you’re looking for! 

Let me know what those undergrads think, yeah?
