B5: Week 6 Reading Questions

Group Neon poses the following questions:

Do you believe that parents should be able to change the sexual structure of their children (such as in the case of Reimer) solely based on their behavior in their youth? Or do you believe that they should wait and let their child decide what they want?


Since this is a yes/no question which will perhaps lead to limited conversation and repetition of answers, please feel free to go other directions and discuss other ideas this week's readings brought up for you.

Please forgive the delay in posting. I've been sick and sleeping. You have an extra day to comment because it took me longer to post the questions!

English Rules (Ryan, Willow, Tommy, Alex, Chris) poses the following questions. Choose one to respond to. This should be an exciting discussion because of the multiple views on the topic! Please remember to be respectful in challenging one another's views.

The author equates the current struggle of the LBGT (Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender) community to the inequality that women received through the twentieth century. Do you believe LBGT will ever receive equal rights and what will need to be accomplished in order to achieve this equality?

 

Do LBGT deserve the right to marry? Why or why not?

 

Will our society ever accept cross dressers into the professional world, or will being LBGT become a "glass ceiling" as it has become for women holding jobs traditionally done by men?

B3: Week Four Questions

Hunter and Brogan from "Extra Group" pose the following questions about this week's readings. Choose one to respond to (but if you want to respond to both you can):

Critics argue that too much of ASU’s budget is spent on athletics--football and basketball in particular. In an attempt to lower subsidies for sports, ASU is pushing for their athletic programs to become "financially self-sustaining" in the near future. Is this a realistic goal? Should ASU spend more on educational activities as opposed to athletics?

After reading about how ASU spends its budget, how do you feel about the hikes in student tuition? How might ASU justify its high salaries for top administration?
