  HSP3U Finаl Exаm: Cаse Study Analysis Instructiоns: Carefully read the fоllоwing scenario and respond to the prompts below using your knowledge of the three social science disciplines. The Scenario: The Montreal Subway Incident On a Saturday morning in May, a 17-year-old girl lay on the ground near a west-end Montreal subway station, specifically near the parking lot of a call centre, Sitel Teleservices Canada. Sitel employees observed her lying on her back, naked from the waist down. Despite the situation, the supervisor instructed employees not to call 911, stating he saw no blood and assumed the girl was simply intoxicated or on drugs. She remained there for nearly three hours in the rain, in plain sight of both employees and passersby. Eventually, one employee disobeyed orders and called 911 using a personal cell phone. Upon arrival at the hospital, the girl was found to be in a coma, having been beaten and suffering from severe head injuries. In the aftermath, the supervisor was fired, and the public was outraged. The supervisor later claimed his actions were a "logical error in judgment" based on his initial assessment, arguing that the media’s portrayal of him as "unfeeling" was unfair. No immediate arrests were made in the assault. Task: Analyzing the Disciplines Using the perspectives of an Anthropologist, a Psychologist, and a Sociologist, provide a detailed analysis of this case. For each discipline, you must: Formulate a Research List: Provide 3–4 specific questions that a scientist in this discipline would ask to help make sense of this event. (2 marks for each social scientist, total of 6 marks) Hypothesize Conclusions: Based on the focus of that discipline, what type of conclusions might they draw about the behavior of the supervisor, the employees, or the passersby? (3 marks, 1 for each social scientist. 9 marks total.
