Drake University

1. Think about a time you pursued a question or idea outside of school because it sparked your curiosity. What was it, what did you discover, and how did it shape your perspective? In what ways has that continued to influence you?
2. Suppose you discover the means by which humans can read the minds of other humans without them knowing. Obviously, this technology would be highly desired by many corporations, governments, etc. What would be the ethical thing to using this technology and why? What risks are there to doing this with this technology and what benefits make you willing to embrace these risks for the sake of benefits?
3. Describe a time when your thinking was challenged through conversation or collaboration with others. What did you learn from the experience? How did it influence the way you think about engaging with others? How (if at all) have you incorporated the lesson of that experience into you current approach to such conversations?
