Problem 1: Discuss your aspirations for your economic future. Where do you think your desires came from? What do you want for yourself? What is your work ethic? Is your work ethic enough for you to be successful in our current economy?
Problem 2: This assignment is not meant to burst your bubble or to critique your aspirations but to help you see how you fit in the larger economic landscape: to see yourself as part of a larger structure. Think about yourself both as an individual and as part of a greater whole.
Problem 3: How might society structure itself differently to help more people realize their potential? Does your gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship status, or sexual orientation affect what you envision as your future?
