he aim of this study is to  examine the direct link between biological race and violent criminal  activity

Finally, respond to the following short answer prompt: Imagine you  are a lead social science researcher and are responsible for approving  students’ proposed research studies. Review the three sample proposals  below and provide brief feedback to summarize any ethical concerns you  have related to each of the proposals, based on what you know about  ethical codes and expectations in the social sciences.

1. Proposal 1: Racial Predisposition – The aim of this study is to  examine the direct link between biological race and violent criminal  activity. In this study, I plan to prove the direct and positive  correlation between biological race and incidence of committing violent  crimes. This will then prove that race is the strongest indicator of  tendency toward violent crimes.
2. Proposal 2: Electroshock Therapy – In this study, I will examine the  effect of electroshock therapy on undesirable behavior in human  subjects. This study will administer electrical shocks to human subjects  as a disciplinary measure when undesirable behavior is observed. The  goal of the study is to determine whether the electroshock therapy is a  suitable treatment for resolving disciplinary issues in preteens and  adolescents. If this therapy is found to be effective, it will be  prescribed to resolve disciplinary issues in preteens and adolescents.
3. Proposal 3: Health Problems, Diet, and Socioeconomic Status – This  study aims to examine the relationship between health problems  (diabetes, heart disease, and obesity), diet, and socioeconomic status.  It is proposed that people of lower socioeconomic status are more likely  to encounter these problems. Research will be conducted on human  subjects where data are collected on diet (the types of food consumed  along with money spent on food), and this will be related to the overall  health of individuals in the study. The results and findings of this  research will be published publicly so others can see the risks of  consuming cheap, low-quality food.
