Essay Instructions: BRITNEY SPEARS is my celebrity:
PLEASE INCLUDE A BIBLIOGRAPHY APA FORMAT

People magazine or Behind the Music profiles would be useful sources, and you may also wish to consult Mirlyn (enter the person's name as the topic of interest).

In APA format, report a case study of your chosen celebrity. Your task here is to explain why the person has the problem he or she seems to have. There are obviously no definitive explanations possible, but the most important part of this assignment is how you use available information to evaluate your explanation. If information is not available, or if it is equivocal, be sure that you say so. Use the criteria in the Runyan (1981) article explicitly in doing your case study.

Suggested Outline:

• introduction
o who is the subject of the case? (brief biography)
o what is his/her problem? (use specific psychological labels)
o what is a possible explanation of the problem? (your hypothesis)
o generate hypotheses about risk factors and mechanisms; we expect that you will do some library research here or at the least consult an abnormal psychology textbook

• method
o what is the information used to evaluate these hypotheses
o what is the source of the information?
• results
o how does the evidence bear on the hypotheses?

• discussion
o conclusions about the hypotheses
o weaknesses and shortcomings of the study; be sure to address generality
o additional questions raised by the study
o if possible, suggested interventions to remedy the problem

CONCLUSION

Essay Instructions: Please write 2 1-page thesis, abstract and brief outlines examining feminism and comedy. The broad subject would be something like > The Last Frontier: Is Comedy the Last Frontier of Sexism/Feminism? Some more ideas:

Girls have "too much to lose" when it comes to sex. Making fun of it, or even just bringing it up, isn't considered "lady like." Even more, very few female comedians out there are regarded as sexy, while so many male comedians are. Paul Rudd was named one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive 2012, but does anyone idolize Mindy Kaling in the same way? Consider Rebel Wilson's most well known role as Fat Amy in "Pitch Perfect." Though the character celebrates her weight, almost all her jokes, even her name, come from her appearance. Is sex appeal something women need to give up in order to be considered funny? Does humor go against the expectation of grace and poise?
