In class we are watching a documentary on the crisis in Darfur. There are six perspectives to what is happening in Sudan. For this blog assignment I want you to first research the following website on professional athlete/celebrity Tracy McGrady.
How has Tracy involved himself with the issue in Darfur? What do you believe is the role of celebrities with world issues such as Darfur? Do we expect them to take a stand or is it not their problem?
What is your role? Do you think you have a significant role in what is happening there or with other worldly issues? Comment on the blog.
Second, I want you to select one of the six perspectives and discuss (on loose-leaf paper) their role, their motivation, and your perspective on what he/she is doing? What difficulties do he/she have in their life and how do you think they deal with the stress of the realities in their life?
You are expected to turn this in on loose-leaf paper tomorrow in class. Come ready to discuss...
