Explanation:

For Question 1:

1. "Do organic vegetables taste better than conventionally grown vegetables?" relates to sensory preference, so it is an aesthetic question.
2. "Is it worthwhile to pay more for organic food?" involves judgments of value and right/wrong spending related to ethics, so it is a moral question.
3. "What does 'animal rights' mean to a vegetarian compared to an organic dairy farmer?" seeks factual, observable differences in perspective that can be studied, so it is an empirical question.

For Question 2:

To be sociologically mindful, someone would:

1. Gather and analyze disaggregated data on police killings, breaking down cases by race, location, and circumstances to identify disparities.
2. Compare these data to broader demographic data to assess if certain racial groups are overrepresented as victims relative to their share of the population.
3. Examine contextual factors like neighborhood policing practices, socioeconomic conditions, and historical patterns of racial inequity that may shape the relationship between race and police violence vulnerability.
4. Center the perspectives of Black Lives Matter activists and affected communities to ensure the research addresses the specific claims and experiences they highlight, rather than imposing an external framework.

4. Centering the lived experiences and claims of Black Lives Matter activists to guide data collection and interpretation.
