Social Groups & Reputations

Do people naturally fall into groups that don't get along?  Why might they do that?  List some examples of groups that don't get along.













In what ways does reputation distort (change) the way we view people?

"Outsider"

What is an outsider? Describe a time when you felt like an outsider. 

Who Can You Learn From?

Difficult Decisions

Tell me a time you had to make a difficult decision.  What was the situation?  What did you choose to do?  How do you think your life would be different if you had chosen differently?  Do you ever wish you had chosen differently?  Why or Why Not?
