Second Short Paper Assignment - Due 3/23


Here's a link to your second short paper assignment.
The paper is due on March 23, when we'll begin a several day long group project. You'll be presenting your group's findings in class. Please have your paper finished on time, as the group project depends on your papers.

I'll go over the assignment in class, where you can ask any questions. Contact me right away if you have questions while you're working on the paper, and get started soon so that you have plenty of time to work!

Discussion Questions for March 9

You should contribute at least one substantive post in response to one of the questions below. Think about your answer for some time before posting. A good response will be at least 2 substantial paragraphs long, and will show evidence of serious reflection.

Then give a response to at least one of your colleagues. Identify which post you're responding to by screen name and date and time posted. A good response will be at least one substantial paragraph long, and will show evidence of serious engagement with the issue raised by your colleague.

Please give your own response to these questions by 2 a.m. on Sunday morning; then read your colleagues' thoughts and respond to them by 2 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Have fun! I hope it'll be an interesting discussion.

Remember to treat everyone with dignity and respect.

  1. The movie argues that romantic love could withstand quite profound changes in personal qualities - what do you think about that?
  2. What do you think about the relationship between love and sex implied by the movie?
  3. What else did you find particularly interesting about the concept of love raised by the movie?
