(3) Refresh your memories on how to write a commentary. Next lesson you'll be writing one...

These were the topics :
Write a commentary on ONE of these statements.

“Social change will depend upon an aware, active, educated public that thinks for itself primarily as citizens rather than primarily as consumers”

Some questions to help you organize your commentary:
- What does it mean to think of oneself primarily as a citizen?
- What does it mean to think of oneself primarily as a consumer?
- Can one be both a citizen and a consumer?

"In the West, you marry the one you love. In the East, we love the one we marry".

Some questions to help you organize your commentary:
- What is the rationale behind marriage based on romantic love?
- What is the rationale behind arranged marriages?
- How can cultural background get in the way to how people view marriage?


Do not answer these questions. They are meant to help you think about the topics, but your text should not be a direct answer to the questions.
