Now that you have read and discussed this chapter, consider how you can apply what you have learned to your academic life and your personal life. The following prompts will help you reflect on chapter material and its relevance to you both now and in the future.

  1. If you are not already involved in on-campus activities and clubs, visit your campus’s Web site or activities office to learn more about the kinds of clubs, organizations, service learning opportunities, sports teams, and volunteer work that are offered. Find at least one activity that seems interesting to you and learn more about it. When does the group meet, how often, and how many students are involved?
  2. Check out some of your fellow students’ profiles on a social networking site such as Facebook or Twitter. What kinds of personal information do they share? What kinds of issues are they writing about? Do they use the privacy settings that are available? Do you think that it is important for college students to be careful about the kinds of information they post on social networking sites? Why or why not?
