Focusing on SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, Apply Cohen's characteristics* to your example.
All four of Stanley Cohen's characteristics may not fully apply (e.g., you are unable to detect a rise and fall of attention). You should still address this in your response (e.g., note that the example you selected is ongoing and time will tell whether interest wanes). See below for the list of Cohen's characteristics.
1. Does your example illustrate Glassner's "culture of fear" thesis? How or how not? What role do moral entrepreneurs play? Provide examples from Cohen, Stanley. 2002. Folk Devils and Moral Panics: The Creation of the Mods and Rockers London and New York: Routledge, Introduction to the Third Edition: Pages vi-xxvi. and Fear Not podcast by Alonso Borden and Dr Barry Glassner
2. Apply one sociological perspective (e.g., structural functionalism) OR concept (e.g., social control) to your example. Apply it to your example and demonstrate how it is a suitable illustration of this perspective or concept. [Tip: Before applying your example, define and/or explain the perspective or concept.
3. Discuss one methodological issue (e.g., correlation versus causation; cognitive bias, misleading graphs, an ethical issue) Apply it to your example and demonstrate how it is a suitable illustration of this methodological issue.
