Burning Man Festival
In general I want you all to explain change in a form of popular culture over a relatively limited period of time — this may about a debate about some cultural development, the change in an organization (ex. Nascar), the emergence of a new cultural phenomena, or a debate about the content of contemporary films, TV shows, etc. It should not be something as broad as “the history of fashion” or “how the cell phone affected society” — these are book length topics, and I want you to focus on something relatively limited, about which you can say something significant in just a relatively few pages. In the research paperyou are expected to clearly indicate what material came from your five or more sources. I often encounter students who say that they are having trouble filling up the paper. One way to do this is to use multi-sentence quotes from your sources as long as you use a citation (ex. Barretta, p. 35) to let us know where the quote originated. Likewise, you should have a general citation when you paraphrase(to summarize someone elses unique ideas in your own words)
