1. One of the most important concepts in this chapter is “system.” So that you really understand what a system is, and what its characteristics are (as discussed in the text), make a list of as many systems as you can think of (e.g., a social system, the solar system, a classroom). Then, choose one from your list and analyze it in detail showing how each of the characteristics helps to describe the system you selected.
2. Pick three settings and analyze the diversity within them. Your analysis can be based on race, ethnicity, sex/gender, clothing, size, age, hair color, or whatever you choose. This activity can be conducted in any kind of setting: the cafeteria, in your residence hall, or in a class.
