Academics Weekly Assignment — December 18th, 2022

Welcome to the Academics weekly assignment for the week of December 18th, 2022! These weekly assignments will give our Professors the ability to showcase some of their lesson ideas here on the website. Each assignment will be posted for a week, in which everyone will be able to read about the topic and respond to the assignment prompt. This week's assignment is "Ghoul Studies - Bogeyman" created by Elizabeth (ElizabethTheToad).

The assignment is as follows:
Background
The bogeyman is a creature whose description varies from place to place and person to person. The embodiment of terror, the bogeyman is most often used to scare children into good behaviour. Usually, the parent will warn the child that if the child is naughty, the bogeyman will get them at night. What precisely the bogeyman does also varies widely. Some children believe the bogeyman just gives them sinister reminders, like scratching at their windows or hiding in shadows, while others think he will steal them from their parents. As children grow older, their belief in the bogeyman tends to shrink and they become less fearful of the entity.

Assignment
When you were younger, did you believe in the bogeyman and were you warned to stay good because of him? Do you think this type of creature actually encourages good behaviour in children?
