You will be working with a team of about five students throughout this course. Your instructor will assign the team. If needed, please read How to Access Your Team Discussion Area.
Address the prompts below in your introductory post to your teammates.
Your first post in this discussion should be made early in the week, Wednesday night at the latest. You should also be responding to and engaging with your teammates’ posts throughout the week so you can get to know them and what they value.
· Begin by introducing yourself to your team. Who are you? What makes you who you are? Think of 2-3 key values, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped who you are and your worldview.
· What did you think of the Dunn, Aknin, and Norton (2014) article’s argument about pro-social spending? If you were given $20 to spend on someone else, what would you spend it on and why? How might that change if you were given $10,000 to spend on someone else and why? Should the happiness of the giver matter when thinking about charity?
