WHAT YOU WILL DO:
For this assignment each of you will deviate from at least one widely accepted norm, more specifically a Folkway.
* You wear non-normative clothes to class or dinner.
* You eat your meal in front of people while standing or while singing.
* You greet people or return others’ greetings in a very unusual way.
* You wear your clothes backward.
* You wear a gorilla suit around town – and not at Halloween time.
* You drive backwards through a drive-thru.
* You walk into a store or mall with your underwear on the outside of your clothes. For this one, several semesters ago one of my students walked into the
Sheboygan Falls Pick N Save with there tidy whites on there head; the local police told them to remove them. A great Folkway example.
All of the above Folkway examples were completed by my students.
Always be careful with what you do; you do not want to get into any trouble even if the Folkway is mild.
Try to be creative, but be sure to do this in a way that is safe, is not against the law, and will not get you in trouble. For example, racist or vulgar remarks would be a bad idea. You are to record your thoughts and feelings in an essay format, 500-600 words – you may write more.
