E.C. - Juniors - Survey Results

Today, we scoured the halls of the 1st and 2nd floor, berating students and educators alike with our feminism questionnaires.  Many of our interviewed revealed some truly fascinating results and answers.  This extra credit post will be an opportunity to share responses of interest and more importantly, what we found particularly interesting about these responses.  Be sure to share the question that prompted the response as well.

By presenting our collective data, we can witness the variety of answers we received as well as analyze our research for notable phenomena and trends.

E.C. - Freshmen - Is Rebellion a Form of Insanity?

As we continue our reading of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, we find that Nurse Ratched argues that McMurphy’s "rebellion" is evidence of his insanity.  Let's have a debate discussing this particular issue:

Is rebellion against rules and regulations a form of insanity or is it actually a healthy response to tyranny?

Let's discuss our text, but let's also extended our argument to real-life examples.  Feel free to include links to pertinent articles, discussions, and videos.  Be sure to read and respond your fellow classmates' insightful ideas!
