Premise 2: Social influence is unavoidable, and everyone is effected by it, however, high school is an excellent microcosm of society as a whole.

Premise etc...: Without social influence, society would crumble and no one could behave in a manner deemed exeptable. (however, it is important to note that in this scenario, there would be no "exceptable" behavior, because there would be no standards)

__Project__ = I recognize that there is a need for, honest representation of high school students lives from the sociological perspective for the people who/of study in the field of sociology or have an interest in the lives of high school students. My project of //Product Development// is to create an informational movie for the Sociology classes at Springfield Township High School because it is a reflection of the content learned for a Sociology course specifically geared to Springfield Township High School.

__Collaborative Team__ = [As I progress with the course, I will identify the individuals with whom I will collaborate to progress with my course responsibilities by typing their first name then last name. After identifying each individual, identify how each person contributed to my progress with the course.
