- In one or two sentences, what is the new norm you chose to research that developed during the Covid-19 pandemic
- Describe the source that introduces this new norm. Include where the source was available
- Was it a formal norm (a mandate) or an informal rule
- What was the source of this new norm? Was it a state or federal mandate? A local custom? A widespread medical protocol? A store or university policy? In other words, where did the statement in Question 1 originate? Who was “speaking” through the institution of this new norm?
- To whom did this new norm apply? Everyone, or only certain workers or students? Those with symptoms of Covid-19? Those without symptoms? Those who were unvaccinated? Again, this information may be available in the original statement of the norm, but if it isn’t, you may be able to find it in other types of documentation or in news coverage about the norm.
