Module 3 Assignment – Movie Review

This week you have your research proposal topic due, so let’s do something fun for your assignment. So this module was all about labeling. As I’ve previously stated, deviance tends to be something we “feel” or “see” rather than an objective thing we can measure. Likewise, we tend to learn about deviance not from “deviants” themselves, but from mass media, which often acts as a moral entrepreneur, modeling appropriate and inappropriate behavior for us as part of socialization. 

For this assignment, I want you to critique a piece of popular culture in its labeling and stigmatizing of a deviant group/act/identity. In other words, I want you to find something that badly depicts a thing, and tear it down. But to give us some structure, I want you to either write a short movie review (1-2 pages) or make a YouTube critique video (5 minute).
