Paper 1

Title (Paper 1)

Construct a 2 -3 page paper (not including title page, reference page, or other extraneous pages) that fully explores each of these three sub-topics:

1. What deviant behavior have I committed?  Describe this behavior and how it impacts your life.  Important: You will refrain from explaining anything that I would have to report to the authorities.  Think of minor deviant acts such as speeding, wearing different clothing or holding alternative points of view.

2. How would a positivist explain my deviant behavior?  How would a social constructionist explain my deviant behavior?

3. What other concepts or theories help me to understand this behavior?  Use at least two concepts or theories from our text.  Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference.

This paper will be typed, double-spaced, 1" margins, Arial or Times New Roman 12 point font, and saved as .doc or .rtf file in this format: lastname_SOCI215_A1
