1. What is your take on group projects at the collegiate level? Should professors step away from encouraging shared authorship through group work?
2. Why do you think individualism has become a part of the post-Renaissance culture? What events or ideas revoluntionized independent thinking and rightfully (or selfishly) taking credit for one's own work to the point where authors fight over whose name appears first on the insert or title page?
3. "Reconstruction does not imply a return to a lost state but rather an alternative conceptualization of the experience of subjectivity, enriched by the chastening experiences of the
last century." This quote written by Thomas C. Heller & David E. Wellbery was meant to reconstruct the word, "individualism." Can individualism be something more than taking ownership of one's present work? How does an individual taking authorship of a work have anything to do with the past?
