"We are All One" Readings #2 & #3

Amitai Etzioni "The New Community"

1.  GROUP or INDIVIDUAL RESPONSES:  Complete questions #1-11 at the end of this piece either on your own or in a small group.  Record your answers to submit via email (one set of answers for the group is fine).

2.  INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE:  Choose a quotation (anywhere from one sentence to a paragraph long will work) from Etzioni's piece and complete a 2-3 paragraph writing about your strong agreement or disagreement with his perspective given in this quotation.  You may also choose to respond to Etzioni's assertions about community gathered from your comprehensive, full reading of his piece.

NEXT, read Barbara Lazear Ascher "On Compassion"
In a well-developed essay, analyze the rhetorical strategies Ascher uses to present her ideas on compassion.

These completed writings are due on Friday, 5/8.  The "We are all one" unit multiple choice will take place on Thursday, 5/7 (the half day).
