Write a 7-9 page double-spaced paper (2100-2700 words, not including bibliography) that compares and contrasts the two works in relation to your theoretical theme

. Your paper should have a clear thesis argument, incorporate at least two theoretical readings from the course, and demonstrate additional original visual, text-based, and/or ethnographic research.
