Gladwell, Malcolm. "Drinking Games." The New Yorker. Google, 15 and 22 Feb. 2010. Web. 22 Feb. 2010. Malcolm Gladwell explains how cultures within and outside of the United States treat alcohol differently. The same behaviors that result in one community are not the same in another community. The behaviors caused by alcohol are a result of the ritual and practices of the people. This resource supports my argument that college culture shapes the expectations, and ultimately, drinking patterns of college students. College culture teaches students to drink heavily. The examples of the tribe in Bolivia and the town in New Haven are to be used.
Neighbors, Clayton, Christine, M. Lee, and Melissa A. Lewis. "Are Social Norms the Best Predictor of Outcomes among Heavy-Drinking College Students?" Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs 68.4 (2007): 556-65. Print. This article proves that social norms are strong predictors of the actions of college students. Students who were social and chose to drink relied upon social norms of culture to dictate how much they would drink. This resource will be my main point for how college culture can cause students to follow certain expectations and standards.
