1. Your name: Miranda Rawson

1. Exhibition title: The Quest to Find Out Why so Many People are Hooked

1. Essential Question: What are the factors that create an addictive personality?  

1. One paragraph description of your proposed product and its relevance in answering the Essential Question.

The product that I am doing is a program that is geared around the individual and their certain addiction. The program will help them get over their addiction in a different way from many step by step programs, and will incorporate many influences from different cultures and people from around the world. The program will first have a personality assessment so the program will meet the individual’s needs and personality before any action is taken place.

1. Who will you talk to as sources for your research? List at least one specific person and explain how he/she is related to your research:

Keith Sudano: Psychologist, Hypnotherapist

Randy Rawson: former addict

1. What printed and electronic resources will you use? List at least three different resources. At least one of these must be a printed resource, not an electronic one. Be specific about web sites, do NOT just list Google or DISCUS:

1. Where and when will you do your site visit and how is this relevant to your topic?

I will visit some classes on addiction as well as attend a meeting put on by a program to help addicts. This is relevant to my topic because I will be able to see how a program helps people in overcoming their addiction and I will understand more about it.
