You took the March 2009 SAT, you had one of the essay prompts below:
Prompt 1
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below
Many people believe that being honest and honorable limits their options, their opportunities, their very ability to succeed. Unfortunately, in todays me-first culture, ethics may be the only thing people choose to live without! They believe they have only two choices: to win by doing whatever it takes, even if it is wrong, or to be ethical and therefore lose. Few people set out to be dishonest, but nobody wants to lose.sat
Adapted from John C. Maxwell, Theres No Such Thing as Business Ethics
Assignment:
Does being ethical make it hard to be successful? 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.
Prompt 2
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Whatever happened to good manners? Many books and articles have been written about the lack of common courtesy and old-fashioned politeness in todays society. From spoiled children acting out in restaurants to so-called experts yelling at each other on cable news shows, people seem less concerned with good manners and civilized behavior than ever before. On the other hand, if people really want to change the world for the better, they have to risk being seen as impolite or uncivil.
Assignment:
Is it sometimes necessary to be impolite? 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.
