Final Project
For the final project of the semester, your task is to contribute to the scholarly research begun by
Twenge. You will extend her analysis by creating an “updated edition” of her text. Since her book was
published in 2017, certainly some things have changed, particularly due to the effects of Covid.
Your task is to pick any subtopic from the book, summarize Twenge’s main findings, and explore how
things have changed by using information and resources from after 2018. Think back to what ideas and
findings from the book have interested you most, what have stirred the most debate, what affect you
personally, or what you have agreed or disagreed with most. These will probably get you excited to dive
more deeply into these topics and enjoy the last few weeks of class.
You will obviously seek secondary research from our databases or other sources, but you may also use
some primary research techniques if you wish (observations, interviews, surveys). Just make sure your
methodology is thorough and fair, and your reporting is accurate. You will also create at least one chart
or graph to be inserted into your paper. This can be one you cite from a secondary source or one you
create through primary research.
This is a scholarly project, so be sure to follow Twenge’s model for professionalism.
The assignment will be 1,000 words in length, will have at least 4 sources on a References page (which
are not part of the word count), and will be formatted in APA style. (PLEASE GET DONE BY 12AMWILL TIP ON CASHAPP OR ZELLE)
