Question

These are all the guidelines for my Term paper. And attached is the term paper outline that I submitted along with the feedback.

Term paper (20%). There will be a term paper of about 5 (typed, double-spaced) pages. The paper should grow out of your reading of one of the recommended books cited "Thinking, fast and slow", and should relate some aspect of the book to something outside of the book, either in the course or in your more general experience. The research question you select should be answerable in the space allotted for the assignment, and it should demonstrate that you’ve read the book and understand a way to meaningfully relate it to external content or experiences. We will be happy to discuss ideas with you as you begin working on your paper. 5% of your grade for the Term Paper will be assessed based on submitting a content outline. The content outline will consist of a sketch presenting the organizational flow of your paper, and in it you will summarize three primary research articles which will be presented as evidence when addressing your research question. 10% of your grade for the Term Paper will be the finished product, in which you synthesize the research presented and provide a thoughtful evaluation of the research question in light of that research. Note: The paper should not be a "book report". It should focus on a single aspect, relating it to something outside the book. Do not summarize the whole book. A rubric Course Syllabus Page 7 will be provided on eLearning in advance of the final due date. The term paper will be submitted through e-Learning to turnitin.com (a plagiarism detection service).

Organization: Are the arguments well-organized? Does the paper flow logically from one point to the next related point? 5. Clarity: Is there a high quality of writing?

Understanding what is luck.
In understanding the role of ‘luck’ in people’s life, it is first and foremost important to consider the fundamental question of ‘what luck actually is’. It may be surprising but there is no solid definition of luck as a universal concept. Luck is predominantly found to be based on an individual’s perception which is often driven by culture as well as a person’s personal outlook. 
Culture and ‘Luck’
People’s perceptions differ based on their personality, but more than that, a lot of perception is reinforced by culture and customs. Culture plays a paramount role in shaping people’s personalities and perceptions (Hong, Benet-Martinez, Chiu, & Morris, 2003). This is evident from the fact that people around the world have different good luck charms or evil-warding charms. 
For example, painted Dala horses of Sweden, Four-leaf clovers of Ireland, golden toads of China, unblinking eyeballs of Turkey and Omamori of Japan are all used as good luck charms in different cultures around the world. People of these cultures believe that having such items can bring them luck and prosperity (Moriarty, 2015; Chen, & Young, 2018). These beliefs instilled in them since childhood form part of their System 2 and come into play in their day-to-day decisions through System 1. 
One study regarding gambling habits in Vietnamese Australians discussed the differing perspective of luck in the Chinese and Western culture. The Chinese perceive luck as something outside human control but can be predicted through astrology. On the other hand, Western concept of luck is that it is amenable to human control (Ohtsuka, & Ohtsuka, 2010). Hence the perception of luck, to some extent, is shaped by people’s culture.
