The assignment is as follows

In 7-8 pages, form an argument about a practice, behavior, state of being or stigma, and explore that argument, using developed examples that sustain your argument (in addition to those that provide a counter-narrative to your own argument, if you like.) Remember that a viable option is to challenge conflicting opinions, especially in regard to stereotypes that tend to enforce myth as a concrete form of reality. You must use 6 sources – Four must be scholarly, and you are required to use at least one class reading. You need to significantly interact with the class reading you choose

(meaning you need to move beyond the “one quote for impact” inclusion.)

what a waste of time. write about the different diets. conventional diets (less calories, etc), trendy diets (low carb), drug diets (ephedrine) :dunno:

or if you want to stick w/your chiropractor analogy, just compare non-invasive (chiropractor) v. surgical (invasive)
