...Running head: MOD 5 HW Module 5 Homework Adam Haller Allied American University Author Note This paper was prepared for SOC 135 Introduction to Sociology, Module 5 Homework taught by Michelle Gardner In the story “Father Steals Best: Crime in an American Family”, it is a prime example of formal deviance. They family depicted had committed a multitude of crimes to include murder, rape, robbery, theft, battery. These are all telltale signs of formal deviance. Not only is this a formal deviance, but it is also socialization deviance due to the way of life that the family is used to. The family learned at a young age the crimes they committed. Children are sponges that absorb the things that they are used to seeing and hearing. In early times, there were upper class families and lower class. The upper class families mostly inherited their riches and just continued on with running the business. The lower class families were not so lucky. Most had to steal from the upper class in order to survive. In this passage, it dates back to 1961 and states that Bogle was a migrant worker. Migrant workers did not make enough money to provide for their families. The estimated income for a full time migrant worker was a mere $1 and hour. This has a tendency to place a lot of stress on a person. This high stress level can lead to drinking and drugs to go along with the crimes that were committed. As stated, these crimes were...

...Magazine Advertising Copy Yoshitaka Kanakubo, Nick Leung, and Madeline Yacoe Many successful advertisements capture a reader’s attention by deliberately contradicting expectations. This convention of nonconformity rewards creativity and exploration, but discourages strict regulations. The genre of promoting ideas or products changes constantly, as innovative ads continually replace yesterday’s stale traditions. This evolution is what complicates our job of defining precise strategies for writing successful ads. Popular magazines commonly feature full-page color ads. These often depict modern culture, relate to current events, and reflect the mindset of the period. Magazine ads do more than just sell products; they also promote ideas, bolster public opinion of a brand name, and are fun to look at. To break away from the mainstream, advertisers employ new ideas and constantly challenge current trends. These imaginative ads draw attention and revenue, and promote the culture of freedom and unrestrained creativity that exists in the advertising industry today. We know that the unstructured freedom of writing the text in a magazine ad (called the copy) can be overwhelming for the unaccustomed. We wrote this guide to help you understand what works and what doesn’t. It describes common techniques and explains when to use (or ignore) them. Hopefully, this discussion will prompt you to ask productive questions about your own work, and will help you create successful ads. It will also...

The use of ERP is very widespread across a multitude of industries. As a matter of fact, a report by Computer Economics Inc. states that, “76% of manufacturers, 35% of insurance and health care companies, and 24% of Federal Government agencies already have an ERP system or are in the process of installing one.” Over 60% of Fortune 1000 companies have implemented ERP systems (Hawkins & Stein, 2004). It is not just large firms that are implementing ERP systems, small and medium size companies are making use of ERP systems as well (O’Leary, 2004). ERP systems have expanded across the globe and many of world’s leading companies consider Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems an essential information systems infrastructure to survive and prosper in today’s economy. There are many advantages to ERP systems. Companies that have successfully implemented ERP systems report improvement in management decision making, improvement in efficiency, improvement in information exchange, improvement in performance and productivity levels and improvement in customer service and customer satisfaction, just to name a few. So why, then, do industry statistics show that greater than 60% of ERP implementation historically fail? (Ligus, 2007). ...

...non-experimental, regression study examined the relationship between Facebook™ activity and academic performance for an African American sample population. The study was conducted at a large, four-year, private university in the Mid-Atlantic. All undergraduate, African American students enrolled in the College of General Studies, School of Health Sciences, and School of Education comprised the sample population. Volunteer participants completed a Facebook™ Activity Survey, which is an instrument used to collect semester grade point averages (GPAs), time-use of Facebook™, multitasking information, type of Facebook™ activities, and demographic information. The results of the survey were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression statistics. The analysis showed the strength of the relationship between the predictor variables (average daily minutes of using Facebook™, demographic data, academic data, daily minutes of multitasking, and types of Facebook™ activities used while multitasking) and the criterion variable (semester GPA).
