DU Sociology Folkways Experience Reflection Paper

INDIVIDUAL  PAPER 

. Individually, write a short reflection about the experience. In this reflection you should address the following questions:
 

• What was your role in the group? What did you do during this project?
• What folkway did you break? How did you break it?
• Description of folkway including an explanation of why this is an example of folkway.  
• Description of your own socialization around this folkway. Explain how you knew that this
was a norm. Describe any socialization you had previously experienced around this norm.
Why/how was it something you knew you were not supposed to do?
• What happened when you broke the folkway? How did you feel? How did people around
you react? How did you react? If your group divided so some could observe, also describe
what you observed when group members broke the folkway.
• Describe how your experience connects to at least two class concepts we have discussed.
While you will be discussing folkways and norms in this paper, these do not count towards
the two class concepts you must select. Remember to cite concepts from the textbook or
lecture.
