The paper idea is pretty open, they let us pick our own topic based on readings we have done throughout the year. “I’m leaving the specific nature of the
paper pretty open so you can have the freedom to do something that you find really interesting.” The topic I have provided is the topic I picked out because it is relevant to what we have been learning. Please use quotes from “The Path of the Devil” by Gary Jensen (2006), “Wayward Puritans: A Study in the Sociology of Deviance” by Kai T. Erikson (2004) and any scholarly articles that you can find that apply and are relevant for the topic. So the paper doesn’t have a real guideline or a rubric, and is a pretty open paper.
