In personal Health:

1. Conflict resolution is inevitable whenever people live or work together. The goal of conflict resolution is to settle differences peacefully and creatively. Think back to a recent disagreement. How did you communicate your feelings to the other person involved? After reading the strategies for conflict resolution, what would you do differently?

2. Discussing/studying the functions of our reproductive systems (sexual anatomy) can be embarrassing for some students. Do you think students of this generation are more or less comfortable than their parents' generation when discussing such issues? Did either of your parents explain the menstrual cycle to you? If not, why do think they may have been uncomfortable doing so? Describe how the level of discomfort is changing in this current generation of college students?

3. It is sometimes difficult to express ourselves because of the boundaries established by gender role stereotypes (generalizations about how males and females should express themselves). List characteristics that you associate with being male. Now female. How do you think society/media has influenced your perceptions regarding the characteristics you chose? Now, suppose your son decides he wants to become a dancer. How would you feel about this? Would you willingly enroll him in dance classes, or try to discourage him? What role do you think society has played on your attitudes regarding gender role stereotyping?

4. The environment in which a child grows up has a tremendous impact on his/her psychological and social development. Think back to your childhood and list your family's strengths and weaknesses. Now list what you believe are the essential characteristics of a healthy "family" environment? How did your family compare? What can you do as a current or future parent to ensure that your child is raised in a healthy environment?

4.

Deforestation is an issue caused by the continued development of modern society by way of ever-increasing space and resource demands. Deforestation is especially dangerous to the carbon cycle as trees are vital to the process of through the absorption of carbon dioxide and other gasses. A single, average-sized tree can produce a day's oxygen for four people (Evans 2001). Deforestation is dangerous for the environment for many more reasons, including increased unnatural soil and land erosion, excess amounts of ash (through forest burning), and effects on the hydrologic cycle.

In order to reduce deforestation's harm on the environment, we must protect as many areas as possible, preventing unnecessary development from getting out of control. There are likely many opportunities for technological advancement in the forest removal process to help with the issues of deforestation.

It is important that excessive tree and forest removal be prevented in the interest of preserving our biosphere.
