Paper 2 Assignment

 

Write a paper doing the following:

 

1.  Document what happened in the simulation, "Starpower."  Include your observations as well as your reactions.

 

2.  Analyze the experience by discussing the readings we have done on Locke, Smith, Marx & Engels, Weber, DuBois, Davis & Moore, Maslow, Bandura, Sherif.  Basically, I am asking you to integrate and apply the readings to this simulation.  Part of this discussion could be summarizing what are these social scientists points of view about the social order.  What would these social scientists think of a society organized similar to this simulation? 

 

3.  The paper should be at least 1200 words double spaced using MLA style with a Works Cited list.  Provide a word count at the end of the paper.  Also show the page number in the paper after a direct quote in quotation marks or an indirect quote not in quotation marks:  (Maslow 32)
