Which of the following do you think is Less likely to happen within the next 2-3 years? Choose one
1) UFO testimonials like those of Bob Lazar, will gain increasing credibility with the public and by a growing number of scientific experts and elected officials, who will force the government to be more transparent about what it knows about extra-terrestrial life and what it is keeping in Area 51.
2) The Criminal Justice System will lend more credibility to people like Kalief Browder, who insist on their innocence, and will reform its practices so that it is no longer possible for vulnerable people to be coerced into guilty pleas for crimes they didn’t commit or spend years in prison before their cases go to court.

Some important points of qualification:
It is likely that neither of these two events will happen in the next 2-3 years. It is also a very difficult thing to predict future events, especially changes in social attitudes, with any degree of precision.
The point of the question, however, is to get you to reflect on the criteria you are using to make this decision.
You are being asked to consider whose claims, relatively speaking, would be considered more believable by powerful institutions and according to the established narratives and group memberships of our society.
Instructions and Specifications:
To support your answer, please compare and contrast 3 of the 4 dynamics (below), as they apply to the case of Bob Lazar and Kalief Browder.
Make sure to explain why these dynamics would be harder to change in the case of Lazar or Browder - depending on your answer to the starting question.
1. The common/mythic reality of the mainstream society that is being challenged by Bob Lazar’s testimony and Kalief Browder’s insistence on his innocence. Recall that these are presumptions that cannot be proven, which guide the way we interpret the facts. They describe our assumptions about “what should be” rather than “what is” that have been reinforced by narratives and group memberships that bind us to the larger society.
2. The emotional attachments to this mythic reality that would have to be transformed. How emotionally invested are people in this reality? How would they emotionally react to these unorthodox narratives? How would established institutions attempt to control these emotional reactions?
3. The scripts that would have to be challenged and transformed. These scripts could take the form of labels, stereotypes, particular concepts (ideas about scientific objectivity, the goals and aims of the criminal justice system) or any other kind of terminology that supports the mythic reality described above.
4. Status relations How would the relationship between higher and lower status people have to change? How would you define “higher” and “lower” status as it applies to Bob Lazar’s situation compared to Kalief Browder? What social groups belong to these higher and lower status categories? Which set of status relations would be more difficult to change?
Citation Requirements
Use examples from at least two of these readings to describe the social dynamics you discuss in your essay. Use at least one example per reading.

Citing Sources in the Body of your Essay
If you are familiar with another citation style (for example MLA or APA style) please feel free to use it. But if you are not familiar with either of these styles, please follow these guidelines.
You should reference all sources you use in the middle or at the end of each sentence in which this information appears.
This information should appear in parenthesis as follows. For readings from our textbook, it is OK to cite the reading number.
For example:
In Reading 2, the author explains that …. The problem of teen suicide increased significantly in the 1980s (Reading 2).
If you are taking a specific quote from the reading, or summarizing a specific statistic or example, you should also include the page number.
For example:
The rate of teen suicide increased by over 65% between 1981 and 1992 (Reading 2, p. 15).
You should also cite documentaries we have viewed in class, if you use specific examples from them in your discussion. You can find the necessary info for the Lazar and
Browder documentaries easily using a Google Search. To get the necessary info for youtube clips, you will have to access the relevant instructor presentation
(power point slide) and click on the link for that video.
Parenthetical citations are the same as for journal articles, except that you use the name of the director or producer/production company
(if no director’s name is given) in place of the author.
For example:
The documentary Time: The Kalief Browder Story (Carter) takes the viewer into the inner workings of Rikers Island
Investigative documentaries have shown that most people who are processed by the criminal justice system are sentenced without ever going to court (Carter).
Constructing Your Bibliography
At the very end of your paper you should provide full citation information for all of the sources you cited in the body of the paper.
For articles that are posted on the class website, finding this information is very easy.
Just open up the article file and look on the first page, which has all of the essential information, which includes:
Author name, Article Title (in quotes), Journal Title, Year Published. Volume and Issue number: Page numbers.
For readings from our textbook, you do not have to list the author name. If you choose to list author names, please note that Susan Ferguson is editor of the book and not the author of any of the readings. Each reading has a separate author. But again, author names are not required.
You can use this method
Reading #: Reading Title, Mapping the Social Landscape, 8th Edition
For documentaries or you tube clips, you can use the following citation style.
Director/Production Co., Documentary or Clip Title, Year Released, Production Company, or Month/Day/Year and URL address (youtube clips only)
Furst, Jenner. Time: The Kalief Browder Story. 2017. Roc Nation/Weinstein Company.
Infographics Show. Could You Survive the Stanford Prison Experiment? July 7, 2018

Organizing your bibliography:
List all readings from our text book first
List journal articles from our class website second, in alphabetical order (by author surname)
List documentaries third, in alphabetical order (by director surname or production company if no director’s name is given)
