Individual Reflections: Pick some theory or idea that you have held and relied on in your daily life and deconstruct it this one MUST be brought to class on 12/2/14.
1) Describe a theory or idea you have been "going by."
2) Tell about how your idea or theory got into your head, and how you use it to make sense of your experiences and interpret events.
3) Deconstruct the theory. What are its underlying assumptions? Are they correct? Are there any inconsistencies? Were the assumptions based on a good reason, but that reason no longer exists?
4) What were the implications of "going by" that theory and what are the implications now that you have reflected on it and deconstructed it? Will seeing differently lead you to act differently?
