(For the Ermakoff reading read pages 211-241 only.)

Linked here –> (https://books.google.com/books?id=xusaaY2-6YcC&pg=…)

(1) how does the author’s argument expand, challenge, or refine previous readings or previous theories?

(2) To what extent does this argument contribute to the theoretical and empirical understanding of the issue under consideration?

!!!!Basically I want you to connect the themes present in the assigned reading to ones in the Ermakoff reading.

For the comparison part you’re connecting ideas and themes of the main paper (Merton) to the ideas and themes presented in the Ermakoff reading!!!!!

PART THREE:

300 words critique the assigned reading:

1. provide a critical evaluation of the reading

2. what are the strengths and weaknesses of the author’s main argument and or the concepts laid out in the reading?

3. what is left ambitious, underdeveloped or unaddressed in the present reading? and what type of investigation could overcome these limitations? (focus on this question a lot)

Please read the instructions very carefully. And make sure to be very specific and relevant to the reading when answering the questions laid out above.

also I should add that this is in essay format so it should flow like one long essay paragraph rather than a question/ answer sheet.

Ill attach a sample paper that received 16/20. – The summary was too long on this one and they didn’t include a link to the other reading.
