Introduction To Sociology Week 6 Discussion 1&2

INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY 

QUESTION 1 

In your opinion, are you in favor of a free-market economy, or in favor giving government a large regulatory role? (or even placing the economy entirely under government control). Consider issues such as economic productivity, economic inequality, and the extent of corporate welfare. (Don't forget to back up your writing with the readings.)

QUESTION 2 

Looking ahead fifty years, predict the state of the U.S. family. How will families differ from families today? In what ways will they remain the same? Consider factors such as the popularity of marriage, the likelihood of divorce, the number of children people will have, and gender role differences in marriage. Make sure that you also tie in the readings to back up your response, leave the citation as well.
