    • Round 2: What kinds of hysteria exist today? Are there issues in the world so difficult to deal with right now that we only see them in movies, tv, plays, and books?

  4. Next: Formal written reflection on the effectiveness of today's seminar. Possible reflection topics may be:
    • Did I learn more than I knew coming-in to the seminar? What new insight did I gain?
    • Were different perspectives discussed? How informative were they?
