o IMPORTANT: You cannot apply rational-choice/exchange theory for this assignment (presented in the online lecture); however, you should think critically think about how you can apply this theory to the film (i.e. how the individuals presented in the film made decisions and behaved in ways that were rational/logical to them given their environment and socialization).
Apply the key terms/concepts and research/study data that were presented in online lecture and in the text to the specific examples from the film. Apply the key terms and data associated with each theory included in your paper.
Paper Organization:
Papers must be in essay format (no bullet points or subheadings).
Begin your paper with an introduction/introductory paragraph which explains the nature of the assignment, a thesis statement (one or two sentences that states the focus of your essay/paper and tells your reader what the essay is going to be about). State the specific theories that will be included in your paper (list the theories in the order in which you will cover them in your paper). Include key terms and concepts where necessary in your introduction.
ONE paragraph per theory of deviance included in your paper (synthesize the examples presented in the film, bring together all examples related to each theory you are including). Therefore, the body of your paper must include THREE theory-focused paragraphs. Incorporate application of all key terms/concepts and research/study data associated with each theory. Explain how the theory, terms, and research data specifically apply to the examples from the film.
Finally, conclude your paper with a conclusion/concluding paragraph. Summary statement: a few sentences restating your thesis in a fresh way with the goal of reinforcing the main idea. Include any final thoughts on the topic. Include key terms/concepts as needed.
It is required that you include a works cited page citing the sources utilized (film, online lecture, and text). It is only required that you utilize the film, online lecture, and the text for this assignment (no other resources are needed to complete this paper assignment). The works cited page should be the last page of your paper, on its own page. If your paper does not include a works cited page your paper will be considered plagiarized (and no points will be earned). You MUST cite each source correctly. The ?Paper Assignments? page on Blackboard includes information and resources on how to cite sources correctly including specifics on how to cite the online lecture.
Application of Social Theory/Each theory-focused paragraph:
Begin each paragraph by defining the theory in your own words. Explain the theory in no more than two or three sentences.
Provide all examples AND specific examples presented in the film of each of the three theories you have included in your paper. You must include a minimum of three specific examples from the film of each theory (this is the minimum number of examples, feel free to exceed the minimum).
Be thorough and specifically and thoroughly explain how the theory applies to each example included. Explain application of theory.
Apply the key terms/concepts and research/study data related to each of the theories to the specific examples from the film throughout your analysis (do not just note the terms in your definitions of the theories, give specific examples of the key terms/concepts). It is required that you apply the key terms associated with each social theory.
Other requirements:
