Suggested Discussion Outline

Post by johnkarls »

.

The following outline is respectfully suggested –


*******************************
A. Comments About Specific Chapters of “The Dumbest Generation Grows Up: From Stupefied Youth to Dangerous Adults” – 60 minutes

Our tradition is to devote the first portion of each monthly meeting to going through the focus book, chapter by chapter, to invite important comments that are specific to a particular chapter. After all, each participant (except, perhaps, “first timers”) have taken the time to read the focus book and her/his opportunity to opine on anything in the focus book should NOT be denied.

Chapter 1 – Making Unhappy – and Dangerous – Adults

Chapter 2 – They Have a Dream

Chapter 3 – An Anti-Formation

Chapter 4 – The Psychological Novel

Chapter 5 – Multiculturalism or Malcolm X?


*******************************
B. Discussion Issues – 50 minutes

[NB: If anyone has additional items, please post them in this section of www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org]

Q&A-21

In addition, Q&A-7 memorialized such an issue from our 9/9/2020 meeting for which there was no consensus and which could bear further scrutiny.


*******************************
C. Proposed Six-Degree-Of-Separation E-mail Campaign(s) – 10 minutes

Q&A-23 posited that our author, Mark Bauerlein, had no solution for “The Dumbest Generation.”

And Q&A-24 put “on the clock” all of our 207 members to think of solutions.

So far (as of Aug 11), only one solution has been posted – please see viewtopic.php?f=703&t=2231&sid=22274c3d ... 4fd79cd6b2.

[If any more solutions are posted between Aug 11 and our Aug 17 meeting date, the 10 minutes for this Section can be expanded at the expense of Sections A and/or B.
