Corporate Sociability (Thompson)

  

Text: “Corporate Sociability” (Thompson)
Assignment: It is your turn to decide what type of response you would like to write. First, read the text carefully, annotating as you go. Then, choose ONE of the following options:

Create a double entry journal for this text as you read. Then, write a 1-2 paragraph response discussing the quotations you chose for the journal and your analysis of those quotations.
Create 2 discussion questions about the text. These should be open-ended questions without easy answers. Then, write a 1-2 paragraph response in which you attempt to answer or explore answers to these questions, using evidence from the text.
Pick another corporate location (other than the 3 discussed in the article) and apply Thompson’s analytical approach to your location. Try to analyze your location in the same way that Thompson does, discussing similarities and differences between your location and what Thompson says about Ikea, Starbucks, and/or the Apple Store, in a 1-2 paragraph response.
