Greece immigration
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need about 1000 words on Greece's current immigration situation and an analysis of the ethical framework. I will add in some things I saw while there, but I do not have any journals or articles to pull from and am running out of time - this needs to be done by July 14th
SOC 270
You can choose to write about Greece’s current economic or immigration situation, and
apply an ethical framework. This should be a thoughtfully considered analysis and will
need to include information from academic sources, as well as thoughts from experiences
in Greece. The paper should be 1200 – 1800 words (not including bibliography).
The following course objectives are addressed in this paper:
You will be using the concept of the sociological imagination – the intersection of
biography and history - to analyze how people in Greece are facing current
economic and immigration crises.
You will be analyzing Greece’s position within the European Union in terms of
governing and influencing a sovereign state’s economic and social policies.
In a larger sense, you will be considering how interdependence within and outside
of the European Union shapes Greece’s current situation.
Finally, you will consider how policies and international agreements might be made
more just to those on the margins of society, in light of ethical principles you have
learned in class.
The following should be included in the paper:
An overall description of the economic and/or immigration situation, using current
statistics.
Responses to the crises from the Greek government, the EU, regular citizens (and/or
non-governmental organizations)
Comprehensively apply an ethical framework or concepts that we discussed in class.
At some point in the paper (wherever you think it best fits), reflect on how your
experiences in Greece, including any ethnographic observations, has affected your
perspective on this issue, or added a deeper understanding.
Clear introduction and conclusion that lay out the key points you’re making
Include a bibliography at the end, and make sure sources are properly cited in the
paper.
You can reference information from the readings, but you will also need to include at least
two relevant articles from an academic journal or a book, and a current article from a
newspaper. Statements that you make about your topic must be backed up with evidence
from other sources. This paper is not an opinion piece, though you will have a portion
of it stem from your experience and observations. These sources need to be cited
within the text, and then in a full bibliographic note at the end of the paper. For example:
"Urban poverty has increased over the last few decades” (Katz, 1991, p. 224). Please get
the most up-to-date information as you can – for example, don’t include economic or
immigration statistics from before 2012 to describe the current situation.
Acceptable sources include peer-reviewed journals and books. They do not include
websites with random opinions, as this is not research. Some websites are from
research institutes and offer acceptable information. You can find articles on your topic from academic journals with a search
through the e-resources link at the library.
If you use direct quotes from these sources, these need to be in quotation marks, with a
citation noting the page number.
The paper will be graded on the following basis:
1. Organization - The first paragraph needs to state what issue you are focusing on and a
brief summary of how the paper is organized and what the purpose of the paper is. The
rest of the paper should follow the organization you set up in the first paragraph. Topic
sentences are your friends – use them wisely.
2. Integration of relevant sources
3. Quality of writing (including grammar and spelling)
4. A well-organized discussion of the economic or immigration crisis in Greece
5. Evidence of critical thinking and good logic
6. Conclusion summing up your key points
