Remember your final paper is on groupthink and how your original theory helps you to describe a recent or historical phenomenon or event.
DO NOT use examples from the textbook or examples older than 2000. There is social psychology all around us, therefore there are newer and relevant examples to help you with your research.
The paper is to be a summary and evaluation of a topic from the textbook on social psychology related to Groupthink.
Your discussion will include a critical review of the topic and include a synthesis of knowledge and relevant concepts from the course. Integrate the information from the textbook (theory–but not the examples), with what you learned in the course.
