After considering the thinkers and theories( John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and William Godwin) from Chapter One, which do you agree with most and what do you think about the state of the world and human nature: Is the world a cold cruel and indifferent place, or is it a good and meaningful place? Are people basically selfish and insensitive or are they basically unselfish and caring? Does civilization corrupt human nature or does it save us from descending into savagery? And why is it that in the ‘civilized ‘ world we need police, business contracts, laws and locked-doors to protect ourselves from exploitation and violence, but in ‘primitive’ primal societies they don’t need any of these things to live in peace?

Have you ever confronted or failed to confront a person who you thought was expressing prejudice or discriminating? Why did you confront (or not confront) that person, and how did doing so make you feel?

After graduating from college, you obtain a job in a medium-sized city in the Midwest and rent an apartment in a house in a nearby town. A family with an African American father and white mother has recently moved into a house down the street. You think nothing of it, but you begin to hear some of the neighbors expressed concern that the neighborhood “has begun to change.” Then one night a brick is thrown through the window of the new family’s home, and around the brick is wrapped the message, “Go back to where you came from!” Since you’re new to the neighborhood yourself, you don’t want to make waves, but you are also shocked by this act of racial hatred. You can speak up somehow or you can stay quiet. What do you decide to do? Why?
