Directions: The job of a social psychologist is to make explicit that which is taken for granted in everyday life. You are now a social psychologist specializing in deviance and criminal behavior and have been called to serve as consultant in the place of deceased advice columnist, Abigail VanBuren (AKA Dear Abby). Below is a letter for which you are to respond. Given the limited information offered in the letter, you are to explain to this adolescent girl how you see her situation from a micro-level analysis (Symbolic Interactionism) to a macro-level analysis (Structuralism/Conflict). Answer her plight by offering insight using salient concepts from a deviance perspective. Provide her with possible solutions using legal (e.g. criminal/administrative law) or social service frameworks (e.g. child protection rules or mental health code) in order to properly affect the situation. Be creative and cite at least six professional references (e.g. the journal: Symbolic Interaction or Deviant Behavior etc.) in explaining yourself. Policy and law citations may count as only one of the six required professional references. Deliver your knowledge in a way that is explanatory and authoritative in a double -spaced, expertly written paper. This paper is to contain no vagueness or ambiguity and shall be 5-7 pages in length. Your paper must include at least 10 of the following concepts applied correctly in order to get full credit. It is due on Monday, April 4th at the beginning of class. USE AT LEAST 10 OF THESE CONCEPTS IN YOUR RESPONSE *You may add additional situated vocabularies from the text not listed here as credit for the ten required concept applications.

I am a fifteen year-old daughter of a drug addicted father. He mostly smokes various substances and drinks corn liquor that he makes out in the woods. Sometimes he stays in the woods for days. My mother died nine years ago which left me heart broken and afraid. The social workers told me then that she died of an “addiction disease.” Our closest neighbor told me that she was a “meth head.” Ever since her death, I take care of my Dad and my little brother Jimmy. He was a year old when my mother died. My father drinks every night and I never know when he will become depressed or mean. He doesn’t hold down jobs that well and is constantly upset about something. I miss my mother terribly and do my best to honor her memory by taking care of my Dad and brother by cooking (when there is food in the house) and trying to generally keep our house in order. Right around the time that my mother died we were building a house, but because of circumstances it was never finished. Because of this, we live in the cement block basement that the house was supposed to go on top of way out in a remote part of our rural county. The make-shift roof of wood and tar paper has decayed over the years so that every time it rains I must place buckets around to collect the water. Our yard is littered with old junk cars and our phone was shut off last year because we couldn’t afford to pay the bills. We can’t get a portable phone because we never have enough money. It seems that my only saving grace is school, for I get A’s in math and writing. Each morning the bus picks my brother and me up at around 6:05am to take us to into town, which is approximately 40 miles away. When I get to school I am greeted by the others with name calling and mean remarks like, “ Hey, pizza face” in reference to my terrible acne problem, and “hey scare crow” because the most of my clothes are pretty warn and old. Once I overheard some teachers talking about my family as “white trash” and I’m not sure what that means exactly. It doesn’t sound very positive. Still, school is great because it is so lonely for me at home. I went to the counselor ask for help in dealing with the mean kids, but she just told me to stay away from them. Several of my teachers are very nice to me and tell me that I’m smart, but somehow I don’t believe them. I just think they feel sorry for me because I am such a loser. Occasionally, my Aunt Betty will visit and take me shopping for clothes, but I feel that her time and money are wasted on me. Thankfully, my Dad doesn’t drink or do drugs when she comes over. It’s unclear if she knows about my Dad’s habits, but I don’t want to tell her or anyone because he might go to jail. If I didn’t love my dad and brother so much I would kill myself in order to go to heaven to be with my mom. Often times I think about others who have similar circumstances to mine, but seem to be have fun and enjoyable lives. I apologize for going on and on, but I feel so overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. If only I understood myself better perhaps I could live better. Any insight that you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Signed, Bonnie in Idaho READ THIS CAREFULLY Important: Your papers must be properly cited. You will lose credit if you do not cite your sources. When should you cite a source? 1. Whenever you use someone else’s exact words you must put those words in quotation marks and cite the source of the quotation. If you paraphrase someone, you do not need quotation marks but you still must cite the source. 2. Whenever you use information or an idea that is not your own, or is not “common knowledge”, you must cite the source of that information or idea. How do you write a correct citation? The most widely used documentation style in the social sciences is APA style. There are APA publication manuals in the library by which to guide you. Please see me if you have questions about this style. However, I will accept any recognized documentation style so long as it leads me directly to your sources. How do you cite an internet source? An Internet source should look something like this: Global Policy Forum, http://www.globalpolicy.org/finance/ An internet source should include the name of the site, the author’s name if available, the date of the article if shown, and the URL (the web address). Check list for papers: 1. A scholarly paper should have a cover page which includes the following: a. the title of the paper b. your name c. date of submission (April 4th, 2016) d. the name of the class e. time of class ( 11:20am) f. the professor’s name 2. The pages of your paper should be numbered, preferably at the bottom center of each page except the first. 3. Use a standard 12 point font. Times New Roman is usually best. Do not use fonts like this! 4. Double-space your text! 5. Long quotes (more than four lines) should be indented and single line spaced. 6. Do not submit your paper with a plastic folder or any type of cover. Staple it in the upper left hand corner with an appropriate cover page. 7. Be sure to cite your sources. This is very important. You must do this and do it properly. If you don’t you could possibly be guilty of plagiarism or copyright infringement. If what you are saying is not your own original thought, then you must qualify it in your text or cite your source! 8. Be sure to make a copy of your paper before you submit it to me. It is very rare but occasionally a paper will get lost. 9. Proofread your paper! Your paper should be expertly written and error-free. If, after you’ve printed it you happen to catch a few mistakes, simply correct them with a pencil before submitting it. Grading: You will be graded on each of the following areas. The paper is due at the beginning of class on April 4th, 2016. No late papers are accepted. This paper is required in order to activate your test scores for your final grade. Failure to submit a paper merits an automatic “F.” 1. 25 Points Micro and Macro Analysis 2. 25 Points Application of Terms, Definition of the Situation, and Explication 3. 25 Points Recommendations for the Situation 4. 25 points Writing, Organization of Ideas, Presentation and Mechanics

It’s about Anna Belen Montes who was a former American senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency in the United States. On September 21, 2001, she was arrested and subsequently charged with conspiracy to commit espionage for the government of Cuba

This essay focuses on the particular counterintelligence case examined by students for their earlier presentations.

It should provide a brief narrative of the case and examine it from a social science perspective within the context of the theme described above.

The essay should address one of the counterintelligence cases as allocated, usually the same case that the student has already presented, and should incorporate the challenges and observations made at that time, although each essay will be assessed as a stand-alone work only.
