Overview
I know that you are a Great tutor and that is why I personally invite you, but I still need to state this. I have never had a more strict professor when it comes to plagiarism, cheating, AI use, or anything of that matter. After this assignment is completed I will have to personally check through multiple different websites and will check if the work is 100% original/ authentic. Please make sure to cite every source that is used. Please DO NOT use any sort of AI or anyone else's work without citing. I attatched a doc of all of the sources that I want you to use when writing this essay.

HOW TO SHOW CREATIVITY (notice how this person asked questions and came at the reader in a different approach that left them to think):
What is the difference between stereotypes versus social patterns?
Stereotypes are overgeneralizations, taking a perceived characteristic of a group and applying it to all members. Social Patterns are established through empirical data.
See the difference?
*All Blacks are Democrats. V. *Over 90% of African Americans registered to vote are registered to the Democratic party.
*Men are murderous wifebeaters. V. *One out of four women are murdered by their male partners.
Which statements are the stereotypes and which ones are the social patterns? Why?
Three main paradigms in sociology:
1. Structural Functionalism
2. Social Conflict
3. Symbolic Interaction
