Answer:

The correct answer is a. Humphreys used license plate numbers to target their homes and interview the men without disclosing the real subject of his study.

Explanation:

Laud Humphreys (1930-1988) was a sociologist who for his PhD dissertation wrote a study called <em>Tearoom Trade</em> (1968), where he studied the behavior of males who engaged in homosexual sex in public toilets. Humphreys made a series of discoveries, like finding out that most of the men who engaged in these practices were not openly or overtly homosexual, and even a majority of them (54%) were married. However, his research was widely criticized because of how he performed it. Humphreys acted out as a sort of look-out for the men in the toilets, but without disclosing his identity as a researcher. Moreover, <u>Humphreys followed the unwitting subjects of his study to their homes by </u><u>tracking their license plate numbers and interviewed them</u><u>, posing as a government health officer and hiding his true identity as a sociologist conducting research</u>. Lying to subjects and hiding from them that they're part of a study is frowned upon by the scientific community, so the research was widely controversial, and it's still brought up as an example of the ethics of social research.

Describe a Unitary power structure. Give some examples of countries that have a unitary government.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Unitary states are the opposite of federations, in which governing power is shared by a national government and its subdivisions. The unitary state is the most common form of government in the world. In a unitary state, the central government may grant some powers to its local governments through a legislative process called “devolution.”

Examples: Unitary republics  

Afghanistan

Albania

Algeria

Angola

Armenia

Azerbaijan

Bangladesh

Belarus

There are a bunch more, but there would be no space in the box. And plus, it's over 210 countries!
