Hello World. I'm a HUGE Starwars fan AND a HUGE Metal-head. ;)

 1. Objective I propose to investigate the different college experiences from students who come from a different cultural, economic, and predominantly urban setting.  
 2. Interest: This is interesting because it will allow students in this class to experience college life from a different perspective and be more culturally in tune with other people. This is relevant because college is firstly a 'step-up' in education and secondly the ratio of non-whites attending college is considerably smaller to those from other cultures/backgrounds. 
 3. Background reading I will read wikipedia, text book and other basic sociology texts on the following topics:
       1. I will also find scholarly research on the general issue of (for example, violence in video games). Posting links here.
       2. I will find popular press discussions of my topic. Perhaps Wikipedia articles, blog entries, newspaper and magazine stories, etc.
 4. General Plan I plan to. . .describe the major next steps to get the project done. If working in a team, specify the parts that you plan to do.
 5. Collaborators: I will be working with Nadia Sheng.
