you will choose a topic to write a reflection paper of approximately two double-spaced pages. Please prepare your paper using 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins.

When grading your reflection papers, I will look for a thesis statement, whether you used ideas from the reading in your work, and whether you made an argument instead of merely stating “I like this.” I will also look to be sure that you cite the readings in a meaningful way. I do not care what kind of citation system you use as long as you are consistent

Prompt: In his reading, Zerubavel says that we purposefully ignore or dismiss things in order to uphold the social order. Give an example of an interaction in which you would ignore or dismiss something that you notice in order to be tactful or avoid a taboo subject. Make sure to use concepts from the readings (for example: socialization, euphemism, civil inattention).
