Submit your typed Reaction Paper for Unit 1

For this first Reaction Paper, react to the Unit 1 readings *and* the 30-minute long portion of the radio program “This American Life” on the topic “#1 Party School” — audio clip below.

Write a Reaction Paper for Unit 1 in which you articulate connections you find between the stories you hear in this radio program and the Unit 1 class material (what you’ve learned about in class so far, and from the Unit 1 readings).

Be sure to address:

– What “social institutions” do you hear mentioned in the radio program?

– How does what you hear connect to Unit 1 readings?

– Has the experience of hearing these stories made you perceive your own experiences as a college student differently?
