The prompts are designed to stimulate critical and creative thought and the objective is to demonstrate your knowledge of course materials. In your essay support your discussion by following the citation instructions at the end of the prompts. You can cite more examples but this does not guarantee a higher score. In your essay’s text, underline the beginning of your cited examples to facilitate identification. Your essay does not have to comply with a standard essay format (introduction, thesis, body, conclusion), but it does have to address each point of the prompt with structural logic.

Choose one of the four models of culture and personality studies and one of the three models of social structure and personality studies. Choose any of the assigned media we viewed in the course and critically analyze it through application of the model you chose from culture and personality studies, and the model you chose from social structure and personality studies. Evaluate each of the models you chose and explicate why culture and personality approaches are no longer used, while social structure and personality approaches remain productive.

To support your discussion, cite one example from assigned readings and one from lecture.
