1. 1 person your age who hasn't been to prom about what they expect the experience to include, some reasons they want to participate or not participate, their thoughts on the dominant social practices (DSP) of prom, etc.
- For this interview i decided to talk to max about what he expects the experience of prom to include. He expects prom to be a fun night and nothing more than that. He views the dominant social practices of prom to be all part of the rite of passage that prom is meant for. He believes that since we're given the chance to celebrate graduating high school, we mine as well take advantage of it. He sees nothing wrong with the dominant social practices of prom.
2. 1 person a little older than you who have been to prom about what they experienced and insights about their experience and the DSP of prom.
- For this interview i decided to talk to alex about his experience at his girlfriends prom.
He described the typical prom in a nutshell: )everyone was dressed up, pictures were taken, tuxedos were rented, kids showed up in limos, etc excluding the after party) . Although alex seemed to be paying more attention to the small details such as the food served at the venue, and the limo ride to the venue: "Since this was my girlfriends prom and i didn't know the kids from her school very well i didn't really like them so the experience in the limo going to prom was awkward".
3. 1 person significantly older than you, ideally parents/relatives/guardians, about what they understand of DSP of prom and their own experiences & insights around this ritual.
-I couldn't believe it when my parents told me they both never went to their school proms. So they don't have any personal experience of prom, but they both disagree with the dominant social practices of it. My dad believes that prom is an excuse for the popular kids to pick on the nerdy kids and that it is a very primitive and irrelevant ritual. He said that "buying a fancy suit and parading around with your date is very staged". My mom believes that no matter how prom is portrayed and celebrated there is always one kid that's unsatisfied with prom in the end.
