Topic 1: How important do you think individuality is? Can one be an individual and work in harmony with society? If forced to choose, which is more important - individuality or conformity? Why?
I think that individuality is very important. I think that everyone should be able to express their ideas and feeling. I feel that one can be an individual and work in harmony with society. We see this happening every day. Some people like to hike outdoors and others may like to play the piano or paint, yet they can still interact within the societal realm. If I were forced to choose, I would defiantly feel that individuality was more important. The world would be boring if everyone were exactly the same. I mean who can honestly say that they would like to live in the world where there were at least 10 other people who looked and acted pretty much the same as they did. I know I certainly wouldn’t want to live like this.


Topic 2: If modern society were destroyed, what part would you hope to play in rebuilding? Discuss.
I would like to have a part in rebuilding the charity work that modern society plays a part in. Charity work is a very rewarding experience. There is not a more gratifying feeling than knowing that you made a difference in someone’s life. Anything from volunteering at a Goodwill Center to donating blood to the American Red Cross is rewarding. Helping others who do not have the ability to help themselves, is the best thing one can do to give back to their society. This is a part of society that should remain the same.
