User:Th Ha Spring 2008

Hannah Thompson Ha_Th_Spring_2008 Hello World 1.) I am working on a wikipedia project. 2.) I will be working on the page about social deviance.

Hannah’s Project Title Objective: I propose to create/edit/fix the Wikipedia page about social deviance. Interest: the current page on Wikipedia about social deviance is very brief and not very complete or accurate. This subject is of interest to me because we have just recently studied it in class and read about it in our book. I also have interest in the subject matter because it can be related to crime, which could lead to interesting data or readings. I will talk about the power conflict theory. Backgound Reading/Research: I will read wikipedia, our class text book and other sociology books I can find at the Alden library about : crime, social deviance, social norms, and power conflict theory. I will find popular press discussions of my topic. Perhaps Wikipedia articles, blog entrys, newspaper and magazine stories, etc. General Plan: I plan to work alone, so I can start my research and organization of information as soon as possible, most likely this weekend. Collaborators: I will be working alone on this project.
