Paper Topics

So I am going to write about one idea for my paper rather than two however I'll elaborate more than 3-5 sentences. I plan on writing my ethnography on Starbucks. It has always fascinated me with the way they really lure people in. Starbucks is great at creating a place and potentiating rituals and interesting behaviors. Every store appeals to a different demographic, neighborhood and culture. This appeals to me because I am an avid coffee drinker and I am very interested in examining Starbucks and the cultural significance associated with it. I hope this sounds like a valid subject!

  1. Hey, Dave.
    This sounds like a great subject, offering all sortsa avenues of exploration! Think about all the different variables that culminate to construct the Starbucks experiences--the merchandise, the music, the people--and try and extract meaning from those elements. I'm really psyched to see what you come up with!
