In the concluding article of the textbook, authors Lambin and Fagin discuss a series of choices and difficult decisions confronting humanity with regards to living sustainable lives, characterized by well being for all. This involves examining cultural values, beliefs, and behaviors. How might these choices and decisions intersect with the concepts of communitas and collective consciousness, discussed earlier in the chapter? Can we use those concepts to help inform our understanding of the choices confronting us, and to guide our decision-making process in moving toward the future?

An annotated bibliography consists of summaries of research articles. Research articles include a review of the literature what is already known about a specific topic. You should be closing in on your topic for the research proposals. This assignment is helping you find this information. What is the research question you are answering with your proposals?

Some topics from previous courses: 

• The relationship between social media and unhealthy eating habits
• The relationship between the attractiveness of politicians and their electoral success
• Growing up with parents who have addictions and the likelihood of future addiction in kids

The annotated bibliography will help you find, and begin to review, articles for your research proposals. You need to find at least 5 research articles.
