A) Project

Uninformed opinions are usually based on assumptions we've never really examined. Examples of popular assumptions that are largely unexamined include:

1. "Bottled water is safer and better for us than tap water."
2. "Forest fires should always be prevented or suppressed immediately."
3. "The fewer germs in their environment, the healthier the children."
4. "The more soy we eat, the better."

Identify and examine any one popular assumption for accuracy.

For example, you might tackle the bottle water assumption by visiting the FDA website and the Sierra Club site for starters. Also take a look at the Sierra Club's twitter feed: .
Trace the sites and links to get the information and write up your findings in a memo.

The memo must be 2 pages double-spaced and be sure to attach a Works Cited page as well.

B) Project

Write a 3-4 page proposal on ONE of the following topics:

1. Improving reading habits in elementary school children

2. Students connecting to the community through service

3. Helping the homeless in your neighborhood

Your proposal must contain the following:

The Mission Statement
The Goal/Purpose
Listed Action Items
Budget
How your propose to get the community involved
How will you assess the success after one year

In your proposal, present possible solutions/ideas for ONE of the above topics.

C) discussion board

Social and Professional networking sites are becoming more and more instrumental in the hiring (and not hiring) of employees.
Give examples of how these sites can be helpful to the employee and how they can hurt the chances of an applicant as well.
