Larche,
A topic you can talk about of how we change as a society is the Birth of Cool: Jazz created "cool", these jazz players would talk in voice that was never enthuasitic, more w.e., would talk in slang, would get the ladies, smoked cigarettes, would drink, everything that made what we know today as the "cool attitude." Soon it was adapted by actors and film makers and then by everyone else transcending through to what now has become the norms of our society. But the elements of cool are what change throughout time but this want to be society's cool is is always the same, trying to fit the current cool.
I like the topic of your paper feel like you have great ideas and thoughts to support it. Keep up the good work :)
Matthew,
Re - written thesis: I read your paper and the ideas you talk about are great examples of how cool and gang life and cultural maps all connect. But in your introduction i didnt really see a thesis if there is maybe you should try to make it more a statement. Im not really good at making thesis statements srry bout that but here's one: Gang life is appealing to those whose cultural maps lead them to the dangers of cool in society. Tried to make it off your thoughts in paper but you dn't have to use it.
Sometimes we turn to cool because its the best role our cultural maps give us. This is why the youth turn to a wrong path like gang life because it's best choice they can choose. They get to have many of the things they never had before, for once they feel important and recieve the attention they had never gotten from their broken homes. The cool pose they perfom in a gang helps them keep their sadness , anger and other intemse emotion inside, so it doesn't hurt as much. It "covers" that hole of emptiness we all have and makes us feel complete.
I think you have a great start and the topic of gangs is interesting so i can't wait to read ur final paper. Keep up the good work :)
