Background & Purpose: This report will investigate a sensation- or thrill seeking activity that could be a leisure or recreation activity that is taken to an extreme level. This assignment helps you to practice research, present different sides of an argument, and integrate your own evaluation of your chosen sensation- or thrill seeking behavior. Topic: Young adults, such as students at UCD, are very likely to engage in thrill-seeking behavior. You will select a sensation seeking activity (subject to instructor approval) that exemplifies a leisure or recreational activity that is taken to an extreme level. Task: Write a well composed analytical paper that includes the following four components. Introduction to the topic Introduce your sensation- or thrill seeking activity and describe how this activity is done. Cite a real life example of it that you have researched. Use this example as your hook. It will be necessary to provide background information about why this activity might be classified as a thrill- or sensation seeking activity and what may be the motivation for individuals to engage in this activity. Analysis of risks and rewards Next, provide analysis of why this activity is both risky and rewarding for its participants. In this portion of the paper, discuss what risk factors participants have to deal with in order to do their activity and why such factors are important. Address any possible outcomes that may occur if the activity goes awry. Balance your analysis with a discussion of the possible payoffs participants may gain from doing this activity. Point out any rewards the participants may reap while achieving their goals. Argument Lastly, use the information from your analysis to argue whether engaging in this activity is truly dangerous or not. Be sure to develop your reasoning adequately in this section and consider 1-2 counterarguments. Conclusion Conclude your analysis by recommending whether this activity is a viable leisure or recreation activity for most people and point out what can be gained from observing such behaviors and those that participate in thrill- or sensation seeking activities. Genre and Audience: Your paper should be written in formal language for an educated audience. Use APA citation style and add a reference list at the end of the report. Prepare your paper with interesting headings for individual sections. If you choose, you may include images of the activity that may support your analysis give the reader a sense of the actual activity. However, you must include references to all sources and images that you use.
