provide a different appropriate matching example from life in American life today for all 3; and explain how/why each example is a
good illustration of that theme/dimension.

tendentious kids; WI Thomas theorem] to explain individuals or events in your life. Be specific: define 4 terms/concepts in your own
words, provide a different appropriate matching example for each from your life for all 4 terms/concepts; and explain how/why that
example is a good illustration of that term/concept.
Please
Each response is a very short written assignment:
we wish to hear your good thoughts written only in your own original words
No quotes or close paraphrasing may be used anywhere in your responses.
a bit of additional guidance:
An example is NOT a definition: the definition of the term “round” is NOT that it is “like an orange, a basketball, or the Earth”.
Those are three examples of the term “round”. The term “round” defined: every point on the surface of the object has the same
distance from the center. Can you define/explain our course terms/concepts accurately in your own words?
An assertion is NOT an explanation of how/why: an assertion is just a claim without support. You can assert that a particular
interaction in life provides an example for a particular term/concept- and although I might/might not agree with you- you still need to
provide an explanation for how or why that is so to support the claim. (And of course, if you don’t provide an accurate
definition/explanation for a term/concept first, then even an apt example and explanation of that example doesn’t really accomplish
the task properly.)
general suggestions for crafting your responses: Don’t write any introductions, especially not first thing. You actually have limited
space, so make your argument immediately and support it immediately too. Consider writing your draft sooner rather than later- then
put the response aside. Re-read it with fresher eyes a little bit later to make sure you have followed the guidelines carefully and
eliminated easily-avoided errors that escaped you at first. Answer the question as asked!
