Knowledge on conceptual frameworks

(1) Review module 3 and 4 to refresh your knowledge on conceptual frameworks, how to create them, and how to do research or find information.
(2) Complete the attached outline to help you organize your ideas (optional).
(3) Create your own conceptual framework for analyzing social movements or create a visual representation of an existing framework used to analyze social movements. Avoid using a visual framework that has been provided in class. However, you may choose to create a visual based on existing frameworks from class readings.
(4) Complete a report to hand in. Your assignment should include a graphic representation of the framework (a picture or visual) as outlined in step 3. It should also include short descriptions of the key words and central concepts that your framework will include, and a brief explanation of how the framework helps conceptualize cult activity.
Integrate at least one credible source that supports your framework. For example, if you are choosing an existing framework, include a source that describes it. If you are choosing to make your own framework, include a source that helped you to determine what key words would be helpful to include. You may choose to use the readings from class or can use the different types of sources described in Module 4. You may also wish to check out https://wrldrels.org/ .
