Discus the shift in social attitude toward smoking over the last fifty years; analyze the change in attitude using the three major sociological paradigms, (conflict, functionalism, and symbolic Interactionism).

The name of the textbook we used is called Sociology matters by Richard T Schaefer 6th edition and the requirement for writing is this . Minimum requirements for a Discussion Board posting: AT A MINIMUM, your Discussion Board posting will consist of 200 words (this does not include your bibliographic reference at the bottom). Your posting must have one (1) reference from your text* (this reference describes the connection between Schaefer, the text's author, and the assignment; and one (1) legitimate reference from the web** (this reference adds some information that you did not get from your text. Both should be made in American Sociological Association (ASA) style. For help in using ASA citation style, see ASA Citation Guide. (Links to an external site.) When you cite the two references, put them at the bottom of your post, as a bibliographic reference, and in the body of your text (called: "in-text" citation). You must make it clear to me exactly where in the text of your posting you used the reference to which you refer at the bottom! *Example: Bibliography will always read: Schaefer, Richard T. 2011. Sociology Matters. 3rd edition, Boston: McGraw-Hill. *Example: Schaefer in-text citation will always read: (Schaefer 2011: 16-18) **Example: Internet Bibliography: Smith, Herman W. and Takako Nomi. 2000. "Is Amae the Key to Understanding Japanese Culture?" Electronic Journal of Sociology 5:1. Retrieved May 5, 2000. (http://www.sociology.org/content/vol005.001/smith-nomi.html (Links to an external site.)). **Example: Internet in-text citation will always read: (Smith & Nomi 2000) plus a page number if one is available, i.e., (Smith & Nomi 2000: 26). Why? At this point in your education, it is not enough to offer an opinion. You must use and cite journals or other legitimate sources to back up your position. Further, you must include in the text of your writing from where your statements come. Therefore, if you do not have the above items (at a minimum ~ above), you will not receive a good grade on your paper no matter how well written. In order to submit the paper and have me read it, it must contain: 1) one reference from your text at the bottom of your text, 2) one reference from the web at the bottom of your text, which 3) must be a legitimate reference (note here: no type of dictionary, encyclopedia or Bible references are acceptable ~ Note: There is an extra credit thread on the Discussion Board regarding this rule), 4) one in-text citation of your text, 5) one in-text citation of your legitimate web reference, and 6) ASA style.
