  1. 15 Points) PAPER FORMAT: Please TYPE your answers using 12-point Times New Roman font. Double-spaced. One-inch margins and double-spacing. Cover page that includes your name and student K# (this does not count as a page). PROOFREAD. An occasional error is acceptable, but in general your paper should be free of mistakes. I will not take off points for an occasional error, I also do not promise to mark every error. _____________________________________________________________________ (85 Points) PAPER INSTRUCTIONS: The page recommendation is five to six pages. The page limit is a guideline to help you understand the depth that I am expecting. Respect page limits; make sure you include the most important points. Papers that are far below the page limit or far exceeding the page limit will lose points. (10 Points): Choose a song that you like and that deals in some way with the concept of deviance and/or a social issue/problem that is important to you. Locate AT LEAST one (or more is better) current news article(s) or academic research from CREDIBLE sources that relate to your topic (please watch the videos via CANVAS on credible sources). Your article(s) should be incorporated meaningfully into your analysis. (10 Points): Introduce the song you have chosen. What’s it about? Why did you choose this particular song? How does this song relate to your topic? (50 Points): Analyze your topic sociologically using your credible news/academic sources and at least six class terms/concepts. Your terms and concepts from class material must be (bolded/underlined) from either 1) any class material we have covered in lecture 2) any main terms/concepts from any chapter of the online textbook and/or Sociological Perspectives on Substance Use and College Life. Remember, give the definition of the term/concept you are using in your own words, underline the word, cite where you got it, and put it in boldface and apply the term or perspective to your topic or tell me why/how your song relates to the term/concept. You may also cite your song lyrics. You must provide a clear “illustration” of how the terms/concepts you have chosen relate to your topic. This is not a list; your paper must have a logical, coherent, flow. (15 Points): At some point include your thoughts, feelings, and judgments on the topic and/or song—your social reality. This should be in the first person (i.e., I feel…this makes me angry…I am surprised…). Tell me what you learned from your analysis and find a proper way to close the paper. You will be graded on the depth of knowledge and understanding of the material you convey to me through your answers. Pretend you are teaching me this material! Overall, this is a way for you to research a facet of society you find interesting or important. Your song does not have to deal directly with the topic you have chosen, but certainly can. You can choose ANY song you like old or new, obscure, foreign, etc.
