Hi, there are two discussions questions for this week and last week: Week 4: Think of an assumption that you hold about taxes. (For example, “Taxes are to be avoided, “We should pay more/less taxes”, you get the idea.) a) Write down this assumption in the form of a complete sentence. b) Now, analyze this assumption by writing down how you came to have this idea. (Some factors might be mass media, family, institutions, a specific experience’) c) Now, write a rebuttal of your assumption. (For instance, if I wrote as an assumption, “Trying new things is a sign of self-confidence,” I might begin my rebuttal by writing, “Perhaps trying new things can sometimes be a sign of insecurity, and of being easily influenced by others.”) Question: In 100-150 words, share something you learned from doing the exercise. —————————————————————— Week 5 question: Analyze your own listening. Name one listening behavior you have that does not match characteristics of effective listening. Devise a plan for how you will change this listening behavior. What do you think will be the main challenge of applying your plan? (100-150 words)
