What is the difference between a virus and a worm? Is one more harmful than the other ref to Profit without Honor by Pontell Rosoff
Select a single sport and analyze its contemporary faults in some detail. You will highlight what you think are some of the most important issues that currently face one of these major sports, and then you will offer a re-design of that sport in such a way that these issues are rectified, or greatly minimized. You can select a sport whose principal failings you see at the collegiate level, or choose a sport that you find to be failing in certain ways at any or all levels, from youth sports to the professional ranks. For example, if you were to select and analyze racial bias in the coaching staffs of the professional ranks of the NBA (e.g., Basketball and race, organizational leadership as well as class/income as some of the issues you might explore), after reviewing the sports dilemmas on these counts, you might recommend that the NBA institute an affirmative action policy, mandating that professional sports organizations hire a certain percentage of minorities. You might even then explore whether this same policy ought to apply to women and other ethnic minorities, or to upper management and franchise ownership. There are many different facets of the sport you may consider when addressing your selected important issues in a given sport. Pay special attention to the predominant issues that confront one of the world’s major sports. Then, please write a 1,000-word essay (at least 4 pages of double-spaced, 12-point font of text) addressing the following questions. A bibliography should make up an additional page. 1) Please identify a few socioeconomic issues that plague a particular major sport. These issues can be focused on traditional socioeconomic variables such as race, class, gender etc., or you can introduce some of your own issue identifications such as laws and rule governance in a sport, or illegal drug use at high school and college level sports, or the economic rights of citizens in public subsidy of sport etc. 2) Provide one specific example, or data point, that illustrates the issues you have identified. For example, think about a key set of statistics, or case studies. Be sure to do some homework here in locating sources for these important examples or data points. In order to accomplish this part of the paper, please familiarize yourself with the relevant customs and policies of the sport you are focusing upon. Where you can assess the likelihood of changes in your selected sport, bear in mind that sport, like the broader society, often takes time to evolve on certain issues. 4) Finally, anticipate and analyze the backlash, if any, from your proposed changes. For example, do your proposed changes run counter to broad societal or cultural values? If you do not anticipate any backlash from these proposed changes, please explain why that would be the case. In sum, in your considered assessment how would your proposed changes make the sport, and possibly society itself, better off? To successfully complete this assignment, you will need to organize your responses to these questions and then craft a formatted essay that includes each of the following: A title page; Well-developed introductory paragraph explaining the purpose of the essay and briefly referencing some of the main points/contentions offered in the essay; The body of the essay should consist of your effort to best answer the primary questions from the assignment prompt. Though the method by which this is done is largely up to you, it is essential that the responses to the questions in the prompt be based upon scholarly readings and should remain at all times defensible (in an academic sense). As is the case with every assignment in SOC 247, presenting any unsubstantiated, illogical, or indefensible position will have an adverse effect on the final grade. A concise concluding paragraph that briefly restates both the purpose of the essay as well as some of the primary argument offered by you, the essays author.

One of the great hallmarks of the personal essay is the personal nature of the voice, the intimacy in which the writer reveals him or herself in order to develop or reveal the theme.Things to keep in mind:The personal essay can originate from the writers own life, or it can come from the writer making observations about life around him or her. It can be more of a personal memoir or a personal essay.
The personal essay is written to offer insight into life.
The personal essay may be serious or humorous.
The personal essay wrestles with complex questions in life; it doesnt offer simplistic answers.
The personal essay is reflective in nature; even when writing about a past experience, the writer is thinking and commenting on the experience as he or she thinks about it today, not how he or she may have thought about it then.
The personal essay is not a research-driven essay; however, it may include outside sources, as necessary. Outside sources are informally referenced in the text of the essay.

Develop your body paragraphs with specific examples from your own experiences. Remember to be as specific as possible. In other words, use real examples.
