Homework for December 1st - December 6th

The purpose of the "Star Power" game was to get you thinking about the idea of "power," and how it is used and abused in society.  Please answer the following questions to continue your reflection from the game:

1.)  What makes you follow rules?
2.)  Is there anything wrong with the idea of wanting to be in the highest social class in a society?
3.)  How is it possible to limit the governments power?
4.)  Where does power come from?
5.)  What are the negative side effects of all people constantly competing against one and other for a spot in the highest class?
