If you wish to get in the 90s this quarter and you got anything less than a 5 on this assignment, you should individually redo the question that was not done well.

\n
\n
\n1. On page 74, it is implied that John Lennon and Aristotle agree on one aspect of happiness. What is it?
\n2. In what two ways does Rousseau think consumer society prevents us from being happy? (74) Hint: 1. State of Nature 2. \u201cFirst Yoke\u201d
\n3. Referring to the second bullet on page 77, how do people become alienated from each other?
\n(Alienated \u2013 to become unfriendly, hostile, withdrawn, indifferent)
\n4. Using Tolstoy\u2019s definition of art (78-79), cite two songs (movies, or another example) where one would be considered art and the other not. Give an explanation for each.
\n5. Accoring to Rousseau, what is freedom? Definition and create an example that illustrates the definition. (80-81)
\n6. George Harrison sings in \u201cWhile My Guitar Gently Weeps\u201d that we have become \u201cdiverted,\u201d \u201cperverted,\u201d and \u201cinverted.\u201d Explain all. (81, possibly elsewhere)
\n7. Are commodities bad\/evil? Give an example (82)
\n8. It is generally believed, that in a capitalist society the reward for individual achievement, usually money, is the motivation to achieve greatly.

How else did he benefit besides earning money? Make a case that people would still achieve greatly, and explain other rewards besides money.

These should be done in Powerpoint, unless there is a program that can be accessed and displayed by my computer on the projector. Anyone that wishes to use anything other than Powerpoint run it by me first.
\n
\n2. A Powerpoint slideshow should complement your presentation, as opposed to being your presentation. For example, on the family chapter, you will tell us about your family and you could have a picture of them displayed.
\n
\n3. You should not read anything, I suppose there are exceptions, but you should be telling us your story.
\n
\n4. Avoid too much text on any slide. If there is more than 10 words on any slide there may be too much.
\n
\n5. Make pictures as big as possible so people can see them. Be careful not to distort them.
\n
\n6. Can you have more than one slide per chapter, like, for example, if I have several photos from places I've been? Yes, of course, multiple slides and bigger photos is better than a small collage of photos.
\n
\n7. If you haven't figured it out by now, you're going to need to speak with family members to find out family history and you're also going to have to gather photos to put in your Powerpoint.
\n
\n8. I want to see rough draft slideshows on Wednesday.

\n9.
