The first part should contain four sections??"one for each of the parts of the Four-Part Framework.

You should cite specific passages in the paper to support your argument.
The second part should accomplish two things. First, you should explain generally what is necessary for a mathematical analysis of social phenomena to be successful (as we have discussed in class). Then, you should discuss the extent to which Becker does or does not do these things and make a judgment about the overall effectiveness of the paper on the basis of this.
