The ASA has a firm commitment to full and proper attribution and authorship credit, as set forth in the ASA
Code of Ethics.
(a) In publications, presentations, teaching practice, and service, sociologists explic-
itly identify credit, and reference the author when they take data or material ver-
batim from another person’s written work, whether it is published, unpublished, or
electronically available.
(b)
In their publications, presentations, teaching, practice, and service, sociologists
provide acknowledgment of and reference to the use of others’ work, even if the
work is not quoted verbatim or paraphrased, and they do not present others’ work
as
their own whether it is published, unpublished. or electronically available.
Plagiarism
Citations in the text include the last name of the author(s) and year of publication. Include page numbers
when quoting directly from a work or referring to specific passages. Identify subsequent citations of the
same source in the same way as the first. Examples follow:
If the
author’s name is in the text
, follow it with the publication year in parentheses:
…in another study by Duncan (1959).
If the
author’s name is not in the text,
enclose the last name and publication year in parentheses:
…whenever it occurred
(Gouldner 1963).
Pagination
follows the year of publication after a colon, with no space between the colon and the
page number:
…Kuhn (1970:71).
Note:
This is the preferred ASA style. Older forms of text citations are not acceptable: (Kuhn
1970, p. 71).
Give both last names for
joint authors
:
… (Martin and Bailey 1988).
If a work has
three authors
, cite all three last names in the first citation in the text; thereafter, use
et al
. in the citation. If a work has
more than three
authors, use
et al
. in the first citation and in
all subsequent citations.
First citation for a work with three authors:
…had been lost (Carr, Smith, and Jones 1962).

Instruction
This paper should be between three and six pages long, typewritten and double spaced. Proper grammar
and spelling are expected.
.
In order to understand the ways that conceptions of normality change across generations, you will
conduct an in-depth interview with one person who is at least 65 years old.
A suggested list of questions
is presented below. These questions should provide you with sufficient guidelines for your
conversation. You need not ask every question listed. You should feel free to tailor the interview in such a
way that you capture the experiences and information that are most pertinent to your subject’s life. It’s fine
to interview someone who doesn’t speak English, but you must translate all responses and ensure that
the final paper is submitted fully in English.
Your interviewing will be most effective if you record the interaction. It is not mandatory that you record the
interview, however. You are not expected to have full quotations in your paper. The limitations of simply
taking notes are that you might lose important information and that you might not be able to concentrate
on the information being conveyed during the interview.
The paper will have three parts.
a. The first part is an introduction (30% of paper grade), which provides the background for your analysis.
In this section, you will provide a brief and general discussion of how conceptions of normality change
across history and generations, and vary by one’s subgroup memberships such as gender or national
origin.
b. The second part of the paper is your biography, or case study (20% of grade). Here, you will write
(briefly!) the life history of your subject.
c. The third part of the paper is your analysis and discussion (50% of grade); this is the most important
part of the paper. Here, you will discuss and interpret your subject’s conceptions of normality. How are
they similar to or different from your own conceptions? What accounts for any differences that you see?
Given the information you acquired in your interview, what have you learned about how age-based and
gender norms change over time? How have these norms changed from your subject’s lifetime to your
lifetime? How might your subject’s life experiences be different if he or she was growing up today?
Please cite at least one relevant reading from our class. Citations should follow the
American Sociological
Association Style Guide
, which is posted in this assignment’s supporting documents.

Nowadays, during the time passing, a lot of people thoughts are changed. It
could be some stuff we can touch it or some thought or idea we cannot touch it. Many
factors such as industrialization, trend and society environment could have effect the
way of thinking and concept of normal or abnormal.
I interview my grandfather who’s name is Soon Jae Lee to understand what
are different norms of normality and abnormality based on age. Among many factors
he feel it is abnormality in our new generation society, I choose 4 topics what I can
really understand why he feel abnormal. Individualism makes people more selfish
than passed time. People think that ‘me’ is a most important thing, so cause egoism in
the society. Capitalism cause many crimes because of money. People have thought
that ‘with money I can do everything I want’. Making people money is the most
important goal for the life, not satisfy of quality of the life. Appearance has obvious
different view between elder and new generation. For example, men wearing skinny
jean is abnormal for elder people.
He is my grandfather named Soon Jae Lee. He is 82 years old born in 1932 in
Seoul South Korea. His father was a Yangban, which is part of the traditional ruling
class or nobles of dynastic Korea during the Joseon Dynasty (Wikipedia) and his
mother was housewife. Mr. lee loved to listen classic music and pop song when he
was young, that affect his daughter (my mother) graduate college and graduate school
with piano major. Actually, nowadays people love to listen K-pop (Korean pop), but
when he was young the K-pop is not poplar as today. He thinks that today’s music is a
loud and cannot understand what they are singing such as hip hap or electronica. He
said that more and more people like to listen Korean music is positive thing for our
culture and could have very powerful positive effect or benefit for our country. At that
time, television is only appearing with black color. Also, it was very expensive, so
only few families have TV in their home.
He said that he or others in his age will not do Tattoo or body piercing because
it is seemed too strange in their life. Especially, Korean culture emphasis on body
because we think body is given form parent, so in early 1900’s, even men did not cut
their hair for entire life.
The technology is so hard to use and understand for him to use. He is using
smart phone with few functions. Of course no Facebook or Twitter at all. He met his
wife during his parent suggestions and his children doing same way. Marriage could
affect to change one’s whole life, so should be very carful. Therefore, parents
consider specs such as age, background, job, income, family member, etc of the
spouse for their children. After getting married, is will become first time to move out
parent’s home and still doing same way. Majority of people do the same thing.
Having big different culture with America. He has 5 siblings in their family, but he
has 3 children and 2 grandchildren in his life, which is, mean that during the time
passing, less children people want to birth. It is because of many reasons, and affect
population in the world.
Nowadays, there are so many now thought about normality and abnormality.
First thing is ‘individualism’. Long time ago, family or relationship between people is
View the Answer
one of the most important things in the society. Especially, Korea have a culture that
younger people must respect elder people such as make room for elder in the bus or
train. However, it is changed. People think that ‘me’ is only important things ever.
Therefore, the normality norm of elder people is less important than before. Many
younger people yell to elders and fight with them, which elder people feel it is
abnormality because they never think about this situation, will happen. In the other
hand, young generation think people should show some result to respect. For
example, Steeve jobs who is CEO of Apple. Therefore, there are some differences
thought of normality and abnormality between elder generation and young generation.
Second thing is ‘capitalism’. After industrialization, people entered capitalism,
which we also called ‘money society’. That is mean money become the most
important parts in people’s life. My grandfather said that without profit people would
not help people or making relationship. In our society, we have regarded mutual help
as a virtue. It is normal to make community spirit with people, but it is not normal at
all. Perhaps, harder earn money make people no composure because they need to
support their family. Therefore, problem of capitalism cause deceasing rate of birth
affects population rate decrease. In Korea society, raising children and doing parental
investment are very important because they have to keep their parentage to the future.
The thought of age based, elder think that live without any children and enjoy their
life is very abnormality. However, for young generation, leisure time is part of their
life. Parent should sacrificing for their children is normal for elder generation, but
young generation cannot understand spend all the time and money on their children
live without leisure.
Third thing is ‘appearance’. Appearance is one of the facts that important in
our life. It implies how other thinks you such as first impression. In my opinion, this
topic can find the most abnormal for elder people and it is true. Mr. Lee also cannot
understand why men wear skinny jeans as women wear. It is very abnormal because
feel like men wearing women clothes. Especially, he feels tattoo and piercing is
ridiculous because form old times, people think body is inherit form parents in Korea
culture. So, people do not cut their hair even. The reason is that the new generation is
always looking for own distinct individuality. Fashion is fast and easy to express their
individuality. Finding what others did not do. Also, people always want to ‘beautiful’
either than health, so almost everyone diet all the time because the stigma of obesity is
such as lazy, weak-willed, unattractive, gluttonous, etc. In addition, tattoo, hairstyle,
hair color, clothes, etc. is also not normal situation when people have tattoo or
piercing. Therefore, a lot of actions to seek beauty form the fashion or style could see
as abnormal age based even new generation thinks it is ‘normal’.
Mr. Lee thinks that feeling as he cannot keep up with times rather than nothing
is made him abnormal. He is getting old and the time is passed. In my opinion, the
norm of normality and abnormality changing is very ‘normal’. During the world
improving for better life, new politics, new technologies, new generations, new
cultures are always appeared. Creating new things based on old. Generally, old
generation wants to keep tradition and do not want to change, but new generation
usually want to change for better, change for comfort. That is why the norm of normal
and abnormal different all the time.
