As you may have guessed, there are no right or wrong answers to the essay questions in this practice test. That does not mean, however, that all essays are equally good. To get maximum learning benefit from the essay questions, do the following:

• Review each essay a day or two after you wrote it, noting any necessary corrections and any additional support for your points that you can think of.
• Review the section in your textbook that pertains to the topic of each essay. Annotate your essay with any corrections or additional support for your points that you find in the text.
• Spend a few minutes researching the topic of each essay on the Internet. Annotate your essay further with any additional (reliable) information you find.
• Finally, reread each essay with the annotations you have added.

1		Are you basically satisfied with your body? Or do you wish you were, for example, thinner, heavier, more curvaceous, or more muscular? Describe any social factors you are aware of that influence your feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. How does your body compare to the average, and, if more than half of all U.S. adults are overweight or obese, what does that indicate about the meaning of "average" when it comes to weight?
2		Do you think pornography should be more strictly regulated by laws and law enforcement than it now is? If so, what standards of decency and what specific means of regulation do you advocate? Using information found in this chapter, defend your position for or against increased regulation.
3		Describe the emotional display rules in your family and any other environments in which you have spent a significant amount of time. Is there a contrast between your usual ways of displaying emotion and those of people you associate with, such as a family member, roommate, or romantic partner?
