Find an example of cognitive dissonance either in your own life or an example in a movie or literature. Clearly explain the situation, so it is clear what is dissonant and how your example illustrates the theory. Then, describe how the dissonance was resolved. In addition, you may wish to discuss how the situation might be viewed differently by people who didn't know about dissonance theory and/or also how knowledge of dissonance might have changed the situation or outcome. Be sure to use references to research done in this area to support your paper.
