Note: One of the best way to develop your thinking (and writing) skills is to record your observations, questions, and ideas in a journal and then, as time permits, to reflect on what you have recorded—considering the meaning and application of the observations, answering the questions, elaborating on the ideas(and, where appropriate, challenging them), and recording your insights. An inexpensive bound notebook or spiral notebook will serve the purpose. A good approach is to record your initial observations, questions, and ideas on the left side of the page, leaving the right side blank for your later analysis and commentary. The value of this reflective process is so great that you should consider keeping such a journal even if your instructor does not make it a formal part of the course.
笔记：提高你认知（和写作）能力的一个最好方法是记录你的观察过程，其中的问题以及自己的想法，然后时间允许的话，反思你的记录—思考观察到的意思以及如何应用，回答问题，详细描述你的想法（并且在运用的过程中质疑他们），并且记录你的深刻见解。一本便宜的笔记本将会对你有所帮助。一个好的方法是在笔记本的左侧记录你的最初的观察，问题以及想法，留下右侧记录你之后的分析及评论。这个反思过程的价值非常大，因为即使你的说明没有在这一过程中形成条理，但是你可以通过这一方法保持思考。
1.Do a brief study of attention shifts such as the one described in the chapter. Record a half-hour show.

4.Imagine how different America might be if Frankl’s emphasis on self-transcendence and personal responsibility,rather than Maslow’s emphasis on self-actualization and popular culture’s emphasis on self-esteem, had been dominant for the past fifty years. List as many ways as you can in which our society might be different today and comment on whether each would be beneficial or harmful. Be prepared to explain you rviews in class discussion.

5.Watch one of the music video channels—MTV, VH1, CMT, BET—for at least an hour. Analyze how men and women are depicted in the videos. Note significant details. For example, observe whether men are depicted in power roles more than women and whether women are portrayed as objects of male desire. Decide what attitudes and values are conveyed.(You might want to record as you are watching so that you can review what you have seen, freeze significant frames for closer analysis, and keep your observations for later reference or class viewing and discussion.)
观看至少一个小时的音乐频道—MTV，VH1，CMT，BET。分析男人和女人在视频中如何被展现。记录重要有效的细节。例如，观察是否男人比女人更多的是在展现力量的角色，是否女人多扮演挑逗男人欲望的角色。判决态度和价值的传达的是什么。（你可能想要在你观看的时候你可以重复看你看过的东西，定格重要的格式仔细分析，保持你的观察作为后续的参照或者课程并且讨论。）

7.Ask yourself the question, Who am I? Write down ten answers to this question, each on a separate slip of paper. Use the first three paragraphs of this chapter to help you frame your answers. Arrange the pieces of paper in order of their importance to you. Then explain the arrangement—that is, which self-descriptions are most important to you, and why?

A Difference of Opinion
不同观点
The following passage summarizes an important difference of opinion. After reading the statement, use the library and/or the Internet and find what knowledgeable people have said about the issue. Be sure to cover the entire range of views. Then assess the strengths and weaknesses of each. If you conclude that one view is entirely correct and the others are mistaken, explain how you reached that conclusion. If, as is more likely, you find that one view is more insightful than the others but that they all make some valid points, construct a view of your own that combines insights from all views and explain why that view is the most reasonable of all. Present your response in a composition or an oral report, as your instructor specifies.
接下来的文章总结了一个重要的不同观点。读完声明后，去图书馆或者网上关于本书人们议论的知识点。尽可能包括所有视角的观点。然后评估每一个视角的优点和缺点。如果你判断某个视角是全对而其他的是错的，解释一下你是如何做出这个判断。如果，更有一种可能，你发现某种视角比其他视角更加深刻，但是他们全都有一些有效观点，那么结合所有的观点和视角去架构一种你自己的视角并且解释为什么这个视角是最有说服力的。以作品或口头报告的形式给出你的回应，就像是你的说明列举。
Should captured terrorists be tried in military or criminal courts? When the United States decided to use the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to detain individuals captured on the battlefield in the Iraq war, many people protested the decision. Some argued that captured individuals should be considered criminals rather than prisoners of war and accorded the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution to all people accuse of crimes. Others argued for classifying the individuals as prisoners of war and treating them as specified in the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Supporters of the government’s decision reject both arguments, contending that captured terrorists are neither criminals nor soldiers but” unlawful combatants,” adding that any other designation would impose burdens on the United States that would make it difficult to fight terrorism and thereby threaten national security.
捕捉到的恐怖分子需要在军事法庭或者刑事法庭上审讯吗?当美国决定在关塔那摩湾，古巴设立军事基地，为了拘留伊拉克战争中俘虏的战俘，许多人都抗议这个决定。一些争论在于捕捉到的个人将会被当作罪犯考虑而不是当作战争犯，而且符合美国宪法中对所有罪犯恐高后的担保权利。另外一些争论在于将这些人定义为战争犯并且按照1949年的日内瓦公约去对待。政府决定的支持者反对两种争论，主张捕捉到的恐怖分子既不是罪犯也不是军人，而是“法律以外的战士”，指出任何一种指控都会增加美国的负担，让对付恐怖分子这件事情变得更难，因而威胁到国家安全。
Begin your analysis by conducting a Google search using the term “ status captured terrorists.”
做出你自己的评估，通过在google上搜索关键词“捕捉恐怖分子的状态。”
