Why do you think it’s important for that subject to be taught, regardless of whether students like it? What value does that subject have to students who invest themselves in it? Discuss the themes of a fairy tale or myth of your choice. Analyze the story, its characters, and where relevant, its cultural connections. How does this tale benefit children and/or people as a whole? The US education system is often ridiculed when compared to other countries. What arguments can be made for and against the overall effectiveness of US schools? What personal conclusions have you made about the US education system? What solutions, if any, would you prescribe? Are government funds spent on the study of space and space exploration a good use of taxpayer’s dollars? Explain. Can you describe a time when you had to work with someone with a different background from yourself. How did that shape your own experience? It’s easy to identify with the hero- the literary or historical figure who saves the day. Have you ever identified with a figure who wasn’t a hero- a villain or a scapegoat, a bench-warmer or a bit player? If so, tell us why this figure appealed to you- and if your opinion changed over time, tell us about that, too.
