*Simply Chance*

“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity” –Oprah. Where is the line between living up to expectations and exceeding them? Ability vs. Capability

*Kids Say the Darndest Things!*

What is 'age appropriate'? Does the definition of 'age appropriate' change with time?

*Who Is American?*

How far do you go to prove you are not American? What is so bad about being an American?

*Gender Roles…Science or Fiction?*

Are they genetic or learned behaviors? Are we bound by them?

*“A Disgrace to Your Race”*

 Is there a specific ‘mold’ for your race? Do you fit that particular mold?

*I Believe!*

 Is religion a blind faith? Is religion man made? Can you believe in anything other than God?

*That’s So Hetero!* 

 What are socially accepted interactions defined as between the sexes (same or different)? Why are they different for men vs women?

*“You Can Pay for School, but You Can’t Buy Class!”*  

How does class play a role in our relationships? Do you act above or below your socio-economic class to fit in?

*“I Am Not My Hair”*

 What is the obsession? What will we sacrifice? How far is too far?

*The Real, Real World*

Why are we so attracted to reality television? What is the affect on us? Is what we see what we can expect to get?

*Sex Therapy*

 How much sex is too much? What is the difference between pleasure and addiction?

*They Don’t Want Music!*

Does music define a generation? Do we listen to music for the beats or the lyrics?

*Derogatory terms…more than just words?*

The line between terms of endearment and offensive words. Who has the right to use these words? What weight does one term have vs. another?

*Putting a Round Peg into a Square Hole*

 Where do you fit in? Do you want to fit in? What do you identify as?
