The questions are designed to help you elaborate your understanding of the material and I recommend reviewing all of them. A selection of these questions also appears on the Dialogue Forum. You are required to:

  • respond to three of the questions I have selected for the Week 10 forum by Tuesday, July 12 (two extra days because of the Saturday exam).
  • reply to at least two of the items posted on the Week 10 forum by your TA or by other students. However, these replies can be made as late as the following Sunday (July 17).
  • If you haven’t already done so, you also need to reply to at least two posts in the Week 9 forum by Sunday, July 10 (no extra time here).
  1. Do you think that one’s decision to conform to a particular norm of society is more a matter of personality, or more a matter of the particular social situation in which one finds oneself? Why? Do you think the same is true of a decision not to conform? Do you think the same is true of a decision to obey or not obey the instruction of a superior? Explain.
