Due May 15

Do you agree with Zaslow? Why or why not? Is it fair to call today's young people the "Generation Me?" Why? Do we have a "praised" or "over-praised" culture in the United States? Does bolstering self-esteem improve or impair performance? Point to an exact passage and compare it to your own perception or experience. Read a comment posted by your classmate and respond to it. Include your first name or initials in your comment, so I can give you credit.
