• Do you support or oppose its role in today’s politics and our lives? Why?

Submit your responses to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. Start reviewing and responding to your classmates as early in the week as possible. Be sure to be honest, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Be sure to engage and reflect upon important text concepts and course notes within your responses.

In order for this to be a discussion, it is veryimportant that we “converse” with one another by commenting on the other answers.

Important Note: Some of our material may be highly controversial, and while encouraging you to share your opinions, the facilitator has the right to step in if the discussion grows too contentious!! You may take issue with your classmates’ opinions, but at no time will this disintegrate into name-calling and personal slams. You are not here to change anyone’s mind, but rather to discuss, as rational educated adults, a multitude of issues.
