Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

Determine whether or not you believe social controls played a significant role in Donald Sterling's loss of ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers. Provide a rationale to support your position.

Debate whether you believe that the social norms for men of Sterling's age support the use of derogatory language when discussing a member of another race. Next, support or criticize whether the social norms of men Sterling's age are reasonable in a very "politically correct" society. Provide support for your response.

Argue for or against the theory that an "informal sanction" (i.e., ostracism by peers) would have deterred Sterling's behavior. Next, specify whether or not the "informal sanctions" would have satisfied anyone who was offended by his comments. Provide a rationale to support your response.

The $2.5 million fine that the NBA imposed on Donald Sterling was a formal sanction for his comments. Considering the fine, elaborate on the primary manner in which this formal sanction carried out the purpose of protecting the players and the league. Justify your response.
