Find and review an academic article from a sociology journal on a topic of your choice that fits within the scope of the course

Find and review an academic article from a sociology journal on a topic of your choice that fits within the scope of the course. Beyond summarizing the article, you need to provide a critical review of the content. This means you need to evaluate and determine how successful or not the author(s) was in clarifying and supporting their argument with evidence including how accurate their analysis was based on that data. Does the conclusion(s) the author(s) reaches logically flow from the evidence and is it appropriate in scope (i.e. does it over-generalize or not)? Some additional examples of critique on which you may choose to focus include the appropriateness and reliability of the research methods used and whether or not there is key evidence missing that could have reasonably been collected or included. There are multiple scholarly journals that cover sociology. You can find these by searching the Rowan College at Burlington County library online (www.rcbc.edu/library) or in person. I especially recommend the following: American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Contemporary Sociology, Criminology, Demography, Economy and Society, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Population and Development Review, Social Forces, Social Indicators Research, Social Networks, Social Problems, Sociology of Education.
