Stepping out of my comfort zone
For this assignment, you will be asked to conduct a sort of mini social experiment on the Phenomenology of Awkwardness. You are asked to engage in a social behavior that is out of the ordinary for you (or that is incongruent with some social norm) and to write about the experience. Some interesting ideas may be to:
– wear “the wrong outfit” at an event
– say “the wrong thing” in front of someone
– pretend to be someone else for some time
Perhaps you will be able to come up with more interesting and creative ideas. You are asked to engage in behaviors that will not put you or others at harm. You will document this experience and be cognizant of how others are interacting with you.
Your paper may be written in 1st person and should be about 3 pages long (double spaced). Please refer to at least ONE peer-reviewed journal article in text and provide a Reference page at the end of the assignment
