Prompt 1
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
If an old tradition is still around today, we can assume that it deserves to remain in existence. Well-established customs, styles that are still popular, and ideas that people still find sensible survive because these traditions are strong enough to survive. Continuity guarantees quality. Old-fashioned hospitality, old-fashioned politeness, old-fashioned honor in businessall these traditions have qualities of survival. Fortunately, these will always be with us.
Adapted from Jacob Braude, Jacob Braudes Second Encyclopedia of Stories, Quotations, and Anecdotes

We cannot appreciate what we have for its own merit. We see ourselves as fortunate only when we have as much as, or more than, other people. Thus, our judgment of what represents an appropriate limit on anythingon wealth or status or possessionsis never arrived at independently. Instead, we compare ourselves to other people, always wondering if what we have is enough.
Adapted from Alain de Botton, Status Anxiety

On the surface, censorship seems objectionable because it limits our freedom. But all societies need to suppress or restrict information that is offensive or potentially harmful. People depend on the establishment of some limits, some way of making distinctions between what is right and what is wrong. Censorship is actually beneficial to a society because it helps to establish ideals of what is proper in such areas as art, music, and literature.
Assignment:
Should society limit peoples exposure to some kinds of information or forms of expression? 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.

Independent peoplethose who rely on themselves rather than on othersget what they want through their own efforts. Interdependent people combine their efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their goals. To be most effective, people need to be interdependent. People who do not think and act interdependently may achieve individual success, but they will not be good leaders or team players.
Adapted from Stephen R. Covey, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
