​Technology has changed our behaviors:  cell phones, internet, reading and thinking skills. Books like 1984 and Brave New World would warn us that this is Big Brother control. Is it, or is it just a new tomorrow? How can we tell whether we are being manipulated or merely given ways to better our lives?

​Why is it so hard to work with other people? Wouldn’t you rather work alone? Since you can’t change others, what can YOU do to make working with other people go that much better and easier?

​Many people today are talking about the growing gap between the rich and poor. However, today’s poor (in the United States, at least) are much better off than most people (not just the poor) a century ago. Does it matter that there’s an increasing gap between the rich and the poor if the standard of living for the poor keeps going up?

​The world changes in a lifetime, which can seem to some like the blink of an eye. Life for my grandparents was much different than the challenges my parents faced. Today is much different than what the next generations will find. How do you survive the changes in career, lifestyle, social norms, and other challenges in a world which moves so quickly?

​If lying is wrong, why are white lies okay?
Try to start with a thesis.

​We are babies. Human beings have only been around for about 300,000-500,000 years. In fact, the oldest known evidence of a “modern” human fossil was found at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco, and was dated about 300,000 years. If we are babies in the world as we know ourselves today, “modern man”, could we still be evolving? Will robotics change us as we know ourselves? What does it mean to be human today? Can you define the humans of tomorrow.

​What is the difference between people who do not yet exist (future generations) and people we do not know?  Can we harm the non-existent?  Example:  If we eat a lot of tuna now, there may not be enough turn restocked by nature for others who follow us.  So does our current hunger justify using up all the tuna? Or if others would like tuna, or be hungry, is it our human responsibility to save some of the tuna for them?   Do we owe first to those who we do not know or who follow us?  

​What is the difference between a stranger and a friend. Although, you may think you know a friend more, do we really know those people in our lives, or do we see them only through the perspective we wish to give them?
