Another way to approach Paper #1

I just reminded myself of one of the "Four Agreements": be impeccable with your word. You know it if you read the little book "The Four Agreements". Well, if that "agreement" ever sunk in and you did it, it would change your life. It doesn't sound exactly sociological since it is an idea, but we could say it is and idea of socialization and make it work as a vehicle for the paper. So anything that you did and now do not do, or, vice versa, did not do and now do could work: e.g., alcoholism, smoking, negativity, obsession, abuse of any sort, or (on the positive side) working out, praying, "morning pages," being impeccable with your word, or smiling more -- any of these could be the key to who you are sociologically and who you were sociologicall. Just remember to use the moment of revelation-and-change and put it in sociological terms: e.g., how did it change your relationships, your cooperation, your goal setting, your entire dealing with the social world.
