(which I do)

Please, please, please can I have some help.... this is my last paper for this school year.

I thought writing a paper on Expats would be really fun and now I'm just stuck.

• What was the biggest personality difference you noticed between us and them?
• How does your town differ from the one you lived in back home?
• Did you have problems and ever think you should have never come?
• Culture shock?
• Laws and stuff that made you wonder?
• Do you know other Brits in your area?
• Are you here to stay?

And the rest (yeah I know we've been all over this)

If you have a story you wouldn't mind me using please e-mail it to me E-mail Brigie ~ Click here.

Full credit and refference citations will be given.

I need an A.... Ummmmm not sure if paper I just handed in on Islam is going to cut it.

Brigie,

Are you doing an academic course (one that gets credits)? Shouldn't you be pulling info from journals and the like?

I'm just saying this 'cos I did a module of sociology in my first year of my degree (in the UK). Perhaps standards are different in the US (or in your institution).

Why would I be doing this if it wasn't for credits?

Sociology papers are interpretive and not praised on pulling a bunch of facts or one persons opinion.

The areas of the sociological perspective that I am studying towards my masters

My research methods (seeing as you seem to be so interested are.)

Sociolological Theory
*The Structural Functional Paradigm.
*The Social Conflict paradigm
and *The Symbolic-Interaction Paradigm.

Research method
*Testing a hypothesis.
* Survey (this is what I'm aplying here)
and 'in field' participation Observation.

Components of Culture
Symbols, Language, values and Beliefs, Norms, Ideal and real culture.


Conclusive Sociobiology Theory.

I doubt your standards were higher!

Thank you guys so much... lots of good stuff to stir up my Americanised brain.

Not all courses offer credits. I have no idea what you're studying and where...

The criteria you describe are somewhat close the style of research I used on my degree except I majored in a different social science and I had to do use qualitative and quantitive research methods.

I wish you luck!
