Prompt 10
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
It is wrong to think of ourselves as indispensable. We would love to think that our contributions are essential, but we are mistaken if we think that any one person has made the world what it is today. The contributions of individual people are seldom as important or as necessary as we think they are.
Assignment: Do we put too much value on the ideas or actions of individual people? 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 11
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Many people deny that stories about characters and events that are not real can teach us about ourselves or about the world around us. They claim that literature does not offer us worthwhile information about the real world. These people argue that the feelings and ideas we gain from books and stories obstruct, rather than contribute to, clear thought.
Adapted from Jennifer L. McMahon, "The Function of Fiction"
Assignment: Can books and stories about characters and events that are not real teach us anything useful? 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 12
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
"No one is perfect." There are few among us who would disagree with this familiar statement. Certain that perfection is an impossible goal, many people willingly accept flaws and shortcomings in themselves and others. Yet such behavior leads to failure. People can only succeed if they try to achieve perfection in everything they do.
Assignment:
Can people achieve success only if they aim to be perfect? 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 13
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Everybody has some choice. People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and, if they can't find them, make them.
Adapted from George Bernard Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession
Assignment: Do success and happiness depend on the choices people make rather than on factors beyond their control? 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 14
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
In order to be the most productive and successful people that we are capable of being, we must be willing to ignore the opinions of others. It is only when we are completely indifferent to others' opinions of us—when we are not concerned about how others think of us—that we can achieve our most important goals.
Assignment:
Are people more likely to be productive and successful when they ignore the
opinions of others? 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 15
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
In many circumstances, optimism—the expectation that one's ideas and plans will always turn out for the best—is unwarranted. In these situations what is needed is not an upbeat view but a realistic one. There are times when people need to take a tough-minded view of the possibilities of success, give up, and invest their energies elsewhere rather than find reasons to continue to pursue the original project or idea.
Adapted from Martin E. P. Seligman, Learned Optimism
Assignment:
Is it better for people to be realistic or optimistic? 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.
