Write a response to the "Worrier vs. Warrior" article
- Are you a worrier or a warrior? Somewhere in between?
- Tell a (true) story (or stories) about yourself that demonstrate(s) your inner worrier, inner warrior, or inner inbetweener.
- Write an essay in which you refute the worrier/warrior concept altogether.
- Write about members of your family as worriers or warriors: where you do think you get your traits from?
- Write about the effect of testing or grades on you: think of SPECIFIC anecdotes/stories that show the reader how you felt, rather than just telling us about it.
- Tell the story about a moment when you overcame anxiety.
- Tell the story about a moment when you were overwhelmed by anxiety and couldn’t make something happen (think stage fright, test anxiety etc.).
Write a response to the ideas we've discussed this week (Rousseau, Hobbes, SPE, Milgram, etc.)
- How do you think you would you have acted had you been a participant in the Milgram or SP experiments?
- How would you explain the results of the SP and Milgram experiments? Why did people do what they did?
- How does civilization affect humanity? Are we better off with it? Worse off? Both? Neither?
- Why do “good” people do “bad” things?
- Just react to what we’ve been talking about this week: freewrite about your responses, thoughts, questions, confusions, critiques, conclusions…
Write a response to Nietzsche's concept of the "Will to Power":

- What do teenagers most want? Adults? Kids? Is there a difference?
- What do girls most want in life? Boys? Is there a difference?
- Analyze how, if at all, money and power are related.
