Please answer each question below. These questions also appear in the "Imagine" boxes in the text itself. They are designed to stimulate your sociological imagination and help you to see how major concepts and issues may apply to your own life.

1		If you grew up in your parent's generation-without computers, e-mail, the Internet, pagers, and cell phones-how would your daily life differ from the one you lead today?
2		You are a high school principal. What norms would you want to govern the students' behavior? How might these norms differ from those for college students?
3		You arrive in a developing African country as a Peace Corps volunteer. What aspects of a very different culture do you think would be the hardest to adjust to? What might the citizens of that country find shocking about your culture?
4		What events in your life have had a strong influence on who you are?
5		Who have been your significant others? Are you someone else's significant other?
