Here's a paragraph from my paper:
The external sabotage of the relationship comes from other girls most of the time. Jealously is a major concept in high school relationships, and it has ruined many before they even get started. As stated in aggression and adaptation: the bright side to bad behavior, “social aggression among some girls may emerge as a function of increased feelings of competitiveness towards other girls-particularly for the attention of males- during the transition to heterosexual relationships in adolescence”(Hawley 160). Jealousy can also have a sort of “domino effect”; meaning that if one girl ruins a relationship between two other people, the girl in the relationship that was ruined will most likely want to seek revenge. “Their competitive strategies in this regard include the humiliation of other girls, the collection of boys who admire and worship them, and managing their image with others so as to be perceived as successful in the social realm” (163). This can be an endless cycle with no clear winner.

Is "Aggression and Adaption: The Bright Sidee of Bad Behavior" the name of a book or an article? You need to format it so that we understand which it is. Also, do you think it's important to use the title instead of the author's name? If so, why?
ReplyDeleteAlso, you're using the first quote (I think) to try to back up your original claim about girls causing problems, but you're not explicitly connecting those ideas. You're also not explaining what that quote means--you just move on to your next idea about the domino effect.
ReplyDeleteSame thing with quote number two.
