**This is for a non formal online class discussion, u can use the reading material and other website for research**
Note: Most responses should incorporate a small amount of supplementary information obtained through basic internet research.
The internet (or printed) sources that you consult should be valid (not from personal blogs or opinionated "news" sites) and cited according to simple MLA guidelines.

Applying a theoretical perspective
Sociological theory creates ways to understand the social world by having different theories to explain understand social life. It aids to make sense of this social world. It draws together a wide range of perspectives to help provide the fullest picture. (Macionis & Plummer p.36) It shows that one theory can explain something that another cannot or not in the same way with the same intentions. The best way to show your understanding of social theory is to take a theoretical perspective and apply it to some real-world example. This could be anythinghow smart phones are changing interpersonal communication or identity formation; why people often vote against their own self-interests; whether higher education is becoming more McDonaldized; how women choose their life mates; what is the determinant factor of academic achievement for first-generation college students.

About 15 years ago, before evidence-based practice became a standard to which to aspire, a professor found an article describing a treatment program for substance-abusing African-American women that incorporated their children and aimed to preserve their families. The program was built around principles of African-centered theory. The professor thought the program appeared well designed and heartily urged students to study the article and possibly find ways to imitate the program ideas, if not the program itself. A few years later, the professor, having continued her education, especially in the area of research, searched for a follow-up on the program, perhaps reporting outcomes and evidence of effectiveness. No research evidence on the program appears in the scholarly journals. In fact, no evidence that the program continues to exist at this time has been found. The fact that what appeared to be a promising practice approach did not endure or have the opportunity to benefit from eval

M2: Discussion: Designing a Research Question
Instructions
You will begin designing a research study with your research group in Module 3. To help your group get a head start on this, you will generate some ideas for a possible research question to investigate. Write an original post in which you address the questions listed below.
Choose a research topic of interest to you and develop a research question based on this topic.
Would your study be exploratory, descriptive, evaluative, or explanatory? Support your reasons.
What units of analysis would you use? Why?
Would you conduct a cross-sectional or longitudinal study?
This is a literature Review for a Thesis. I will provide multiple articles and all articles must be concurrently reviewed. This is an article review for my thesis. I will send you a copy of my thesis proposal so that you know the topic and can properly review the articles as it pertains to my topic.
This units focus has been on the Presentation of Self, beginning with Erving Goffmans foundational work. You built upon that with a focus on the medical commodification of self (ISL #14) and the virtual self (ISL #23).

How do you relate to medical commodification of self, as described in ISL#14?
How do you relate to the virtual self, as described in ISL#23?
Given this units material, what is the self? That is, who defines it?
Please write this is a cohesive, 3-4 page response. As always, incorporation of direct quotations is required. (Reading attached)
