19. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:

20. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:
Assignment: Has the acquisition of money and possessions replaced more meaningful ways of measuring our achievements? 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.
引文: What explains our increasing obsession with money and the things it can buy? It seems as though the acquisition of money is gradually replacing real measures of success, such as integrity, honesty, skill, and hard work.
Adapted from Alan Durning, Limiting Consumption: Toward a Sustainable Culture
引文: Conflict is not necessarily bad, and it does not necessarily indicate a failed interaction. It is a signal, a message that says, Things arent working around here. Weve got to do something different. Thus, conflict can be a catalyst-a motivating force-encouraging people to interact and communicate in ways that are more satisfying. Conflict can actually benefit people by pushing them to make necessary changes.
Adapted from Beverly Potter, From Conflict to Cooperation
引文: There are situations where flattery is mandatory: The bride is always beautiful. If we look at someones artwork, we are obliged to say something complimentary to the artist. If we visit someone with a new baby, we are required to say the infant is cute. In such situations, to say nothing is interpreted as rudeness. We compliment each other because we understand that flattery makes life run smoothly.
Adapted from Richard Stengel, Youre Too Kind: A brief History of Flattery
引文: Beauty is not a quality in people or in objects themselves. It exists in the mind that perceives those objects, and each mind perceives beauty differently. To seek real beauty, in some absolute sense, is pointless. Where one person sees beauty, another may even see the opposite. For this reason, we all ought to accept our own perceptions of who or what is beautiful, and not be influenced by the perceptions of others.
Adapted from David Hume, Of the Standard of Taste
21. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:
Assignment: Are leaders necessarily people who are most capable of leadership? 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.
22. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:
Assignment: Is knowledge of the past no longer useful for us today? 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.
23. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:
Assignment: Is it necessary to limit or put restrictions on freedom of thought and 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.
