In small groups today and perhaps during the next class, we'll clarify
three groups of issues listed below. The small groups will work together
and report back to the entire class.
These activities will help you understand and appreciate the substance
of the arguments that are being made. And these activities. will also put
you in a position to criticize, compare, apply and go beyond these
arguments.
To answer these questions, refer to any resources listed above, to one
another, and to any other resource that reasonably seems relevant to our
discussion.
Group 1: In Chapters 1 and 2, how does Glenn Paige use evidence
and examples? What early indicators of emerging trends does he
consider significant?
Group 2: Are there any other trends — not mentioned by
Paige — that appear to support his line of argumentation?
Group 3: What trends appear to weaken Paige's line of
argumentation?
