Final Exam Questions!

In the interest of saving some time, I am giving you the question in advance so that you can prepare for them and NOT memorize them.  This is against my better judgement since I believe Summit 1 students should be able to answer any questions on the spot without much preparation. 

You should try to think of some key points to the answers rather than trying to memorize them.  what I often find is that students who memorize stumble because they can't recall, which forces them to pause and lose points.

Good Luck!!!

Students will roll a die to choose the questions at random:

1. Talk about the people and organizations you would or would not give money to.  Explain your reasons.

2. Where do you draw the line on being beautiful? What procedures would you consider and wouldn’t consider? Why?

3. What does your clothes and your style say about you? Why?

4. What do you think young people can do to avoid being affected by the messages they get from advertising, TV, and the movies? What can they do to be more satisfied with the way they look and to develop their self-esteem?

5. What is more important to you-a person’s beauty on the outside or on the inside? Explain.

6. In your opinion, how should people behave in public places? Do you think it’s important to speak up when people behave inconsiderately in public?

7. Have you or someone you know ever volunteered for some kind of community service? How do you personally experience a sense of community?
 
Have a great day!!!

A woman fighting back against A&F!

She comments that A&F sells XL And XXL for men but not for women which sends a strong message about "fat women".  Take a look and see what she says.

Abercrombie & Fitch under fire again!

A&F appears to be popular among young adults in Korea but did you know that A&F is under fire again by the very things CEO says?  For starters, you have never seen a fat person wear A&F clothes because they don't make XL or XLL clothes!  Why? Because the CEO does not want any fat people wearing his clothes so they simply don't sell them. Also, A&F has been known to sell sex to teens and young adults by exhibiting provacative models who are barely clothed in their advertisements.

Second Writing Assignment



For those of you getting a head start on writing your second paper, you may choose to write about any topic of your choice! I would like to learn what kinds of issues are most important among Korean university students. Just remember to use the five-paragraph essay style format as the first writing assignment with a clearly stated thesis-the focus of your paper. Remember, your thesis statement should drive your paper!

Remember to capitalize after a period. Use a spell check. And please type your names.

Good luck!
