Define a word that carries with it, a great potential for controversy. Some historically controversial words include "obscenity," "freedom," "man," "democracy," and more recently "terrorism," "patriotism," "marriage," and "family." Think about how the word you chose might have changed over time, or how it might change across cultures, races, classes, religions, nations, etc. Come to your own conclusion about the true definition of the word and write a response explaining what the word means to you in terms of your own understanding about the world and humanity.
