SCENARIO: Imagine that you work for a nonprofit organization that is focused on increasing
diversity in community groups in your area. Your supervisor asks you to develop a sociological
study concerning topics of diversity and collaboration in a specific community group of your
choice. Eventually you will prepare to share your research with colleagues.
ASSIGNMENT: For this Touchstone, you will begin by formulating a question about diversity in
a community group that you have access to. Then you will use the steps of the scientific method
to prepare a research plan, including a bibliography for a literature review. As you learned,
sociologists follow the scientific method so that their results are both scientifically valid and
useful to the greater sociological community. A literature review allows researchers to learn
from completed studies and to build upon their conclusions.
