Identification Terms for the Final Exam

Note: These terms are from the lectures, readings, and films from the second half of the course. The final will cover only these terms.

The exam will ask you to identify 5 terms from a list of 8. For each term, be sure to state where the term comes from, what it means (1.5 points), and, most importantly, its significance (2.5 points). This portion of the exam will be worth a total of 20 points.
