Reputation


 * Reputation! Reputation! Reputation!**

Directions: For this assignment, I'm going to need for you to pay close attention to popular culture and to locate someone who either has a really great reputation or a really bad reputation. Then, I want you to consider what exactly would need to happen for this person's reputation to 100% flip.

Paper One: Find someone who 'had' a really good reputation. Look into why that person had such a positive image. What factors determined such terrific approval ratings? Then, pinpoint exactly what this person did to fall from this honorable status. What major rule did this person offend? Finally, what do you suggest could be done to reposition this person back into their former status? Is this even possible? How long would it take? Why would people accept him back? Most importantly, what does this acceptance back as everyone's hero say about the majority of people out there?

Paper Two: Find someone who out-of-nowhere gained an incredible promotion in public image. Mention what they specifically did, but be sure to identify what their action represents to the supportive crowd. Look deeper into why this person is so important to so many people in society. What does this say about society values?

Paper Three: What is **your** opinion about reputation? Consider the people who have lost and gained and perhaps lost and regained again their image again. Step away from the specifics and create your own conclusion about the relevance, longevity, and meaning of reputations.

Be Confident. No personal pronouns. Include outline...and don't write it after you wrote the paper because, well, we all know how I feel about that...
