 The prompt is "In an argumentative essay, support, refute, or complicate the claim that the surveillance of consumers by retail anthropologists is manipulative and unethical."

In an argumentative essay, support, refute, or complicate the claim that the surveillance of consumers by retail anthropologists is manipulative and unethical.  To develop your ideas, consult Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Science of Shopping” (Maasik, p. 93), the supporting videos watched in class, and/or other credible sources that you have evaluated carefully.

The essay should contain:

· An introductory paragraph with a thesis statement and three supporting details;

· Three body paragraphs that address the supporting details with specific evidence from external sources;

· A conclusion paragraph that summarizes the thesis statement and mentions the supporting details, along with a personal component that wraps up the main theme of the essay.

The essay will be evaluated in terms of unity, support, coherence, and sentence skills.  If you use the textbook to support your point(s), cite your sources by indicating author’s name and page numbers within parentheses and/or providing references to any videos, including URLs.
