Talk:Lentis/Popular Hygiene: Perceptions and Practices

cross-linked "popular hygiene" on our wikipedia page under "unwanted/controversial edits" as a general case of misuse of technology. -Nick

Revised Outline?
Hello everyone,

There are a number of us (with slightly different topics) expanding this chapter, so I propose we flesh out how to organize it so that the end result is coherent.

At present, we have:

Current Outline
All of which focus purely on hand sanitizer.
 * Background
 * Supporters
 * Detractors
 * Social Implications

I propose the following:

Proposed Outline
Introduction
 * Point out that we're basically doing 2 case studies, and analyzing their commonalities and differences

Overview
 * Hand Sanitizer
 * Function and Effectiveness //all the factual info
 * Perceptions and Practices
 * Deodorant
 * Function and Effectiveness //all the factual info
 * Perceptions and Practices

History
 * Hand Sanitizer
 * Deodorant

Participants
 * Hand Sanitizer
 * Advocates
 * Opponents
 * Deodorant
 * Advocates
 * Opponents

Analysis
 * General
 * Scare Tactics
 * The Power of Habit
 * Negative Reinforcement
 * Some other stuff….
 * Hand Sanitizer
 * whatever analysis
 * Deodorant
 * Appeal to Major Drives
 * Big but Believable Claims
 * Deodorant as a Dominant Strategy

I'll basically write everything I've listed for the analysis section, since a lot of it is psychology stuff I already have notes on and sources for.

Feel free to propose expansions, modifications, etc, for all of this. Just figured I'd get the ball rolling.

Davis, this all sounds good, we'll fill in where you've left space for the hand sanitizer group. Thanks for taking the lead.
