1)  (2 points) Looking at the ‘group’ of 21, what stands out?  Explain.

2)  (2 points) If you were going to rank the importance of the issues that these individuals are active in attempting to change, which would you rank highest?

3)  (4 points) In previous semesters, when I have asked classes here at UWF about what motivates students to become active in addressing social issues or, conversely, what seems to be a barrier to active involvement in social issues, students have tended to be more focused on barriers – what prevents students from getting involved.  So I remain interested in what would motivate  a student to get involved in working for social change.  In your thinking, describe what might motivate a college student at UWF to become socially active or engaged?
