Re: Anthropology Independent Study on FIRST

Whatever you decide to do with your paper, I would definitely compare sports and FIRST at some point. Knowing these points should better illustrate the differences between them. Telling your audience about these similarities will also give sports at least some of the credit they deserve. Like if you said something along the lines of "FIRST is promoting values whereas sports are not," this would be short selling sports because they do promote sportsmanship and teamwork. Take as unbiased of a standpoint as possible. Maybe even interview some sports members for information you don't know.

I short, take it wherever you want, just make sure you give the sports argument the credit it deserves. Avoid turning it into an advertisement for FIRST.
