My partner and I are still in the process of researching; looking through sources and taking notes, but we have come across a few sources that we would like to use.
We haven’t found a lot of scholarly sources yet but we have found one about Social Identity Theory. It describes how a person comes to create their social identity and how people begin to follow a group and how and why they, the followers, want to belong to said group.
With further research and a little luck we hope to find more scholarly sources that outline the psychological effects of following others (being a fan/fanatic) or scholar sources that depict how and why Nazi’s followed Hitler. Perhaps, a history analysis of Hitler's speech or things that Nazi's did and why they did them.
On the other hand, we have find quiet a few popular sources most are about Justin Bieber fans and why they are so obsessed with him. Also, we will be using twitter and the tweets that his fans write to or about him and the trends that his fans make.
For the most part, the popular sources we want to use are magazine articles preferably to do with Justin Bieber and his fans. We also want to use Youtube videos of fans, documentaries of the world war, and of course twitter.
Hopefully, we will hit the gold mine with good sources and be able to create a wonderful podcast about Hitlers fanatics and Justin Bieber fans.
