Reflection: The Article that helped me on the topic I plan to do research on is "Nerd-Do-Wells". This Article was more on the line to the type pf nerd I was looking to talk about in my paper. The type of nerd that I was looking to talk about in my paper was nerd that are intellects. Some of the other articles I looked at talked more about nerds acoording to what type of groups a person was associated with that most Americans viewed as weird such as: medieval festivals, comic books, bugs, and etc. This article went to explaining how nerds are perceivcd wrong in our society,and how they should be perceived. It helped me see nerds in a new light and see what other things I should focus on writing in my paper.

I'm not sure how you are going to explore this group, i would like to hear more about what you plan to do.
The topic is very interesting though. When the words "Geeks, Nerds,and Genius" are mentioned, it is sometimes assumed that those people are bookworms when in fact many people can be put into that category and still have a life.
Great! I think it's pretty cool that you want to show nerds/geeks/etc in a different light and discuss all there is to them.
