Functionalism as proposed by Emile Durkheim and others views society as an organic whole where each institution, individual or social process performs a positive function to maintain the entire society. If any aspect of society is not functional, then it inhibits the entire system of societal processes- in short, it is dysfunctional.
We have learned about three major issues in the last month- illegal immigration and its impact on crime rates, the sale of military style assault weapons and its impact on street crime and about Stand Your Ground Laws and their affect upon the maintenance of societal order.
Write a term paper of 5 to 6 pages, typed and double spaced, with at least one source besides the text on the following:
1. What are the functions and dysfunctions of illegal immigration, the sale of military style assault weapons and Stand Your Ground Laws upon the maintenance of societal order? Be as objective as possible in this section and document the factual information you have learned about these issues. (50 Points)
2. What is your learned opinion about illegal immigration, the sale of military style assault weapons and Stand Your Ground Laws? Are they functional or dysfunctional in their overall affect on societal order? This is not a mere opinion, but a learned one which requires documentation aand/or rational argumentation. (50 Points)
There is a 10% penalty for lateness. Email your paper directly to me on Outlook on or before the due date. The term paper will count as 25% of your final grade.
