Read the article attached and then using FIVE of the sentences below, write a 2 page (double spaced) essay that explains 1) What Becker's main argument is regarding sociologists "taking sides;" and 2) How his essay challenges conventional ideas about how researchers should be "objective." Additionally, you should avoid using the passive voice throughout your essay. Be sure that you boldface the sentences that you chose to ensure that I can find them easily. You may modify the sentences slightly so that they flow well with the rest of the essay, but be sure to keep the overall sentence structure (same fomat and punctuation, etc). 1) Because sociologists believe that everyone deserves to be heard and no one's word is any more valuable or credible than the other, Becker argues that they should refuse to abide by the hierarchy of credibility. 2) Becker states that sociologists tend to sympathize with subordinate group members because they are politically liberal and favor the underdog. 3) In this essay, Becker distinguishes between subordinate groups and superordinate groups. This is important because he needed to discern between the two in order for his audience to understand his explanation of when accusations of bias arise. 4) Becker claims that infinite regress tends to be a problem for researchers who attempt to study everyone involved to try and combat gaining sympathies for one side; therefore, they should just be clear about what they have and have not studied. 5) In an apolitical situation, no one attempts to alter the shape of the hierarchy. Generally, in these situations, there isn't a fight for equality or a fight for change in power necessarily; on the other hand, in political situations, both parties stand to gain or lose power. 6) Becker’s main idea is that the idea that it is even possible to remain neutral during research causes sociologists to be unnecessarily distressed. They can improve this situation by understanding that it is inevitable and normal. 7) Even though there is nothing inherently wrong with developing sympathy for groups you study, sociologists worry about being accused of bias. 8) Becker explained that people usually automatically assume the superordinate group is more truthful and credible than the subordinate group; on the contrary, because they are the ones with the responsibility of authority, they have more reason to lie. 9) Becker argues that sociologists’ tendency to reject the hierarchy of credibility conflicts with the established social order, which causes superordinate groups to feel like researchers are biased against them. 10) Becker says that sociologists should make sure that their research meets the standards of good scientific work in order to ensure that their sympathies do not render their research results invalid.
