I have a powerpoint to do and I need some help with gathering information on New Zealand and the United States. I need help with comparing:
1. Cultural Influences
2. Social Inequalities- race, ethnicity, gender
3. Soical Institutions- family, religion, education
4. Social Control- deviance
5. Economic Systems- capitalism, socialism, or mied economy
I already have a lot of information but it's not what I'm looking for and I really need the help.
I'll be glad to help you if you are more specific about what you are looking for.
What information do you need?
I have to compare the list of things with the two countries. I guess what I need help with is an examination of the list, if that makes any sense, for my powerpoint.
I suggest you make two lists -- one for the U.S. and the other for New Zealand.
List for each country:
Cultural influences
Social Inequalities
etc.
I did that but I'm not coming up with what I need . I do not know if I am putting it in the search right or what.
Let's start with the first one.
What are the cultural influences on each country? Consider language, ethnic backgrounds, food, customs, history.
Ok, I think with it being broke down like that I will be able to find the information that i need. Can you break down the rest of them for me?
2, 3, and 5 are broken down for you.
4. How does each culture treat deviants?
Jail terms?
Mental hospitals?
Death penalty?
What about tolerance for s?
ok thank you so much
Of course, I can help you find information on comparing New Zealand and the United States in terms of cultural influences, social inequalities, social institutions, social control, and economic systems. Here's how you can gather relevant information for each category:
1. Cultural Influences:
- Start by conducting a comparative analysis of the cultural influences in both countries. Look for sources such as academic journals, books, scholarly articles, and reputable websites.
- Explore cultural aspects such as language, arts, music, literature, and traditions in each country. Compare and contrast how these elements shape the cultural identity of both nations.
- Consider factors such as historical events, immigration patterns, indigenous cultures, and international influences that contribute to each country's cultural landscape.
- In order to find specific examples, you can search for cultural festivals, celebrations, or iconic cultural symbols and analyze their significance in each country.
2. Social Inequalities - Race, Ethnicity, Gender:
- Examine statistical data and social studies on race, ethnicity, and gender disparities in both New Zealand and the United States. Government websites, reports, and reputable research organizations could be a good starting point.
- Identify key measures or indicators of social inequality, such as income or wealth gaps, educational attainment, healthcare access, political representation, and representation in top positions.
- Look for studies or surveys that highlight experiences of discrimination, racism, cultural assimilation, and efforts to promote equality and inclusivity in both countries.
- You can also explore policies, legislation, and social movements addressing social inequalities to gain a comprehensive understanding of the two nations' approaches.
3. Social Institutions - Family, Religion, Education:
- To compare social institutions, gather information on family structures, religious practices, and educational systems in both countries.
- Understand the historical and cultural contexts in which each institution has developed and evolved.
- Consider factors such as religious diversity, secularization trends, educational policies, curriculum frameworks, and any unique characteristics or practices within each society.
- Access government reports, academic publications, educational websites, and religious organizations' resources to gather detailed information.
4. Social Control - Deviance:
- Investigate the legal frameworks, law enforcement strategies, and social attitudes towards deviance in both countries.
- Analyze crime rates, incarceration rates, and policies related to law enforcement and criminal justice in New Zealand and the United States.
- Look for scholarly studies, reports from governmental and non-governmental organizations, and comparative analyses of crime and punishment systems.
- Examine cultural attitudes towards deviant behavior, rehabilitation programs, and measures taken to prevent and address crime in each country.
5. Economic Systems - Capitalism, Socialism, Mixed Economy:
- Understand the basic principles of capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies to compare the economic systems of New Zealand and the United States.
- Look for information on each nation's economic policies, regulations, taxation systems, labor laws, and trade relationships.
- Analyze economic indicators such as GDP, employment rates, income distribution, welfare provisions, and access to public services.
- Find reports from international organizations, academic publications, economic think tanks, and government agencies responsible for economic planning.
Remember to critically evaluate the information you find and cite your sources appropriately in your PowerPoint presentation.
