Research <\/span>and <\/span>write <\/span>a <\/span>substantial <\/span>paper <\/span>that <\/span>builds
\n<\/span>on <\/span>the <\/span>rumor <\/span>theory <\/span>material
\n<\/span>addressed <\/span>in your Synthesis
\nPaper, after approval from the instructor. <\/span>Synthesize
\nat least two theories about rumor using the authors in Chapter 13 of the
\ntextbook, and do additional research via the UBC  <\/span>library databases. Then use these theories and
\nresearch to analyze a rumor of your choosing. This rumor may be from an on-line
\nor real-life source. You <\/span>may wish to
\ndiscuss one or more of the following questions: why did people believe this
\nrumor? Why did it spread? Did anyone try to stop it, and if so were they
\nsuccessful? What were the impacts of this rumor?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Your <\/span>paper
\n<\/span>can <\/span>also <\/span>evaluate
\n<\/span>the <\/span>usefulness <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>various
\n<\/span>theories, <\/span>and <\/span>agree <\/span>or <\/span>disagree
\n<\/span>with them. You can also go beyond the theories if you have ideas that
\ndevelop and expand them.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/span>your <\/span>paper <\/span>must <\/span>demonstrate <\/span>excellent
\n<\/span>understanding <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>source <\/span>material. <\/span>Your disagreement <\/span>or <\/span>your <\/span>expansion
\nshould not <\/span>be based on <\/span>a <\/span>mis-reading
\nof <\/span>the <\/span>source <\/span>material.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
