Take the five stages of a moral panic from the DeYoung article (supplemental reading) and apply them to a recent or ongoing event. Make sure you go beyond just meeting the definitions of each stage; illustrate, develop, and explain each stage in an effort to gain social psychological insight on your moral panic of choice. Also, address any social functions you think might be a part of the moral panic, and in what way(s) social power might be at play.
