Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
We do not take the time to determine right from wrong. Reflecting on the difference between right and wrong is hard work. It is so much easier to follow the crowd, going along with what is popular rather than risking the disapproval of others by voicing
an objection of any kind.
Adapted from Stephen J. Carter, “Integrity”
Assignment: Is it always best to determine one’s own views of right and wrong, or can we benefit from following the crowd? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning
and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
No. 13
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
It is often the case that revealing the complete truth may bring trouble — discomfort, embarrassment, sadness, or even harm — to oneself or to another person. In these circumstances, it is better not to express our real thoughts and feelings. Whether or
not we should tell the truth, therefore, depends on the circumstances.
Assignment: Do circumstances determine whether or not we should tell the truth? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies,
experience, or observations.
No. 14
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
A person does not simply “receive” his or her identity. Identity is much more than the name or features one is born with. True identity is something people must create for themselves by making choices that are significant and that require a courageous
commitment in the face of challenges. Identity means having ideas and values that one lives by.
Adapted from Thomas Merton, “Contemplation in a World of Action”
Assignment: Is identity something people are born with or given, or is it something people create for themselves? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples
taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
No. 15
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
We value uniqueness and originality, but it seems that everywhere we turn, we are surrounded by ideas and things that are copies or even copies of copies. Writers, artists, and musicians seek new ideas for paintings, books, songs, and movies, but many
sadly realize, “It’s been done.” The same is true for scientists, scholars, and businesspeople. Everyone wants to create something new, but at best we can hope only to repeat or imitate what has already been done.
Assignment: Can people ever be truly original? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
