Possible topic ideas: Rehabilitation of prisoners, socialized medicine, hazing in Greek life (fraternities and sororities), music and crime. Narrowed down to Hazing..in Greek Life and other organizations, such as the military.
Possible stances: How does this effect the organization's motive? How is this viewed by outsiders? Does this give some sort of fraternization to the organization that makes it vital to the definition of their purpose. What are alternatives to hazing in these organizations? I want to address the different view points of this issue and discuss the pros/cons of each side. I think there are two equally important view points that deserve attention in this paper. I think most readers will be able to identify with hazing in some part of their life, be it sports teams, military, school, Greek Life. What are the origins of hazing? How have ideas evolved?
-Los Angeles Times reports in 2002 "a fraternity member at nearby Butte Community College died after drinking so much that his blood-alcohol level rose to 0.496% -- more than six times the amount at which a person is considered legally drunk. The university does not consider the death its responsibility, but many students and scholars who study hazing tie the incident to Chico because the young man's fraternity was affiliated with a house recognized at the university."
