*Over the weekend:
*In writer’s notebook: What does it mean to be self-reliant? What does it mean to conform? What is a nonconformist? What are the positive and negative connotations of the words conform and nonconformist?
*In Writer’s Notebook: If society values conformity over individualism, why do nonconformists seem to have the greatest impact on society? Why can nonconformists change society so radically (think of Caesar, Jesus, Martin Luther, MLK Jr., etc)? Who are some nonconformists that are impacting our culture today? Be prepared to share your answer to at least one of the above questions in discussion.
