If you would like to have an additional participation grade this semester, answer the questions below and email me your responses by Sunday at midnight. NOT doing this assignment will in no way affect your 6-week's grade. This is absolutely optional.
1. How would you describe human nature? Reference Hobbes, Locke and/or Rousseau in your answer (though you do not have to parrot any one of their beliefs).
2. What does justice mean to you? Address issues of fairness, equality and rule of law.
3. What do governments owe their citizens and citizens their governments?
4. What is an ideal position you'd like to take as a citizen of the US and the world. Reference one of our civil disobedience thinkers (Thoreau, MLK Jr., Mandela, Suu Kyi, or Ghandi) and cosmopolitanism (from the video interview with Appiah).
