Contemporary Examples for Depth Studies

Hey guys!
I noticed that Legal Studies had this kind of thread so I decided to make one for Society & Culture! One of the syllabus dot points in each Depth Study is to provide contemporary examples, so I hope this thread could be a place where we can share articles and other contemporary examples. Obviously, I can't cover for all of the Depth Studies so it would be great if you guys could also help out and expand the list of articles.

Awesome resource Olivia!

Will definitely add this onto the resource thread :)
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

Found a China-related article today:

If China's on the rise, why do many want out?

Remember if anyone has any resources and articles they'd like to add, just let me know!

Social Conformity and Nonconformity


Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the resources!
I have a few more to add for China though it may not be as useful as the ones you've put up :)

Great additions!
It seems as though China is a good example for both positive and negative reasons. Alot of angles you can take with it when implmenting examples!

Also, if anyone here does Conformity & Nonconformity, it would be great if you could share resources so I could add some to the list!

Hi hello conformity and nonconformity links right here (specifically the nonconformist town of Christiania in Copenhagen)

A Tour of Christiania in Copenhangen
Degrowth and Christiania: on Copenhagen’s collective living experiment
Denmark’s Christiania closes off 'Pusher Street' cannabis market
Drugs trade still flourishing in Christiania despite repeated police crack-downs

> Zimbardo's theory of deindividuation:
And also the Stanford Prison Experiment film- great way to understand Zimbardo's theory of deindividuation within the prison context.

The Conformity and Non-conformity topic honestly has so little resources compared to other SAC electives as it was newly introduced in 2015 I think. (I struggled a little bit to be honest) But hopefully as the years go by, more resources can be posted ;D
