1) Summarize the life story of Howard Dully and his lobotomy as told in his book. Use important aspects of his story to compare and contrast the Positivist paradigm and its main assumptions in understanding deviance (absolutism, objectivism, and determinism) to the Interactionist/Constructionist paradigm and its main assumptions in understanding deviance (deviance as relative, subjective, and voluntary).Essay MUST include at least 3 separate quotes from “My Lobotomy” and at least one quote from at least 3 DIFFERENT class articles.Quotes must be presented to supplement/illustrate/clarify the information in your text and cannot be simply included without being directly connected to the narrative of your essay.
