What to address:
Famous deviant behavior scholar and author, Alex Thio, often commented that the film Easy Rider influenced US and global drug culture, by changing the way we define, view and even participate in drug culture.

Be sure to think about the nature of a film in full (i.e. the script, the music, cultural overtones and the wardrobes). Note that you do NOT need to see the film to answer the question above.
How to format your papers:
- typed
- double-spaced
- 1 1/2 in margins
