his reflection assignment is intended to measure your understanding and ability to apply a range of course concepts to the topic of social norms and social norm violation. You should relate and support your arguments using course material and additional information found in scholarly articles or credible sources (do not cite Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, etc. If you cite a blog for an anecdote, be sure to give the information of the blog and explain the relevance).
This assignment aligns with the following course learning objective (CLO) and module learning objective (MLO):
CLO – The learner will be able to utilize sociological understanding.
MLO – The learner will be able to evaluate social norms and violations.
Requirements:
FIRST, pick a social norm violation from the list below. Students can choose their own social norm violation as long as it has been approved by the professor BEFORE it is committed. Then, pick your audience and location (you MUST perform this activity off-campus).
• Staring at people for 1-2 minutes (or until they notice)
• Sing and dance to music in your headphones in public
• Make a large purchase with pennies
• Wear your clothes backwards to a public place
• Enter an elevator and stand facing the back of the elevator rather than facing the doors
• If you live with your parents or a roommate, ask their permission to do everything (get a drink, use the bathroom, etc.)
• Have an animated conversation with yourself in public
• Jump up and down while waiting in the check-out line at the grocery store
SECOND, answer the following questions in paragraph format. No introduction or conclusion paragraphs are necessary.
• Describe the social norm violation. What did you do? Where? To whom?
• How did you feel about violating this social norm? Why do you think you felt this way?
• Describe the reactions of others that were present for the norm violation, including facial expression, what they said, and their body language. What do you think they thought about you after the violation (and before you told them that this was a class assignment)?
• What did this assignment teach you about the experiences of those who do not fit in because they are either new to the culture or are noticeably handicapped in some way?
This assignment should NOT be used as an opportunity to offend others or test the law. If I find your behavior is unwarranted, you will receive a zero on this paper and may be reported.
