Use the following questions from Synopsis, page 415. Copy each of the following questions (with number) and then answer each question.
A.    Synopsis:
1.    What experience, situation, or subculture did the researchers seek to understand?
2.    Did the researchers want to produce a description of an experience, a social process, or an event, OR is the goal to generate a theory?
3.    How was data collected?
4.    How did the researchers control their biases and preconceptions?
5.    Are specific pieces of data (e.g., direct quotes) and more generalized statements (themes, theories) included in the research report?
6.    What were the main findings of the study?
B.    Conclusion: Conclude your paper by stating whether you agree or disagree with the study findings. Do you think the findings would be different if this study

was conducted with teens from another racial/ethnic group? Do you think the findings would be different if this study was conducted with teens in another part of the

world, i.e., South America, Africa, or Europe?
