What do you think about McRaven’s advice? Though few of us have had Navy SEAL training, McRaven intends to offer us insights from which we can benefit, whether or not we have served in the military. Did you find any part of the speech to be especially striking? What aspects of the speech made the strongest impression?

McRaven’s Advice on Living a Good Life and Making the World Better

This discussion assignment relates to Admiral McRaven’s Commencement Speech delivered at the University of Texas. In his speech, McRaven gives ten pieces of advice based on lessons he learned during Navy SEAL training. His hope is that his advice will help us both lead more fulfilling lives and change the world for the better. If you would like to review the speech and/or transcript, here is a link:

Begin the assignment by reflecting on the speech. What do you think about McRaven’s advice? Though few of us have had Navy SEAL training, McRaven intends to offer us insights from which we can benefit, whether or not we have served in the military. Did you find any part of the speech to be especially striking? What aspects of the speech made the strongest impression?

In your view, what are the most insightful points that McRaven makes? Why do you view these points as especially insightful?

Is there anything you would add to the remarks that McRaven makes in relation to these points?

Do you regard any parts of McRaven’s speech as puzzling, dubious, or false? If so, which parts do you find problematic, and why?

McRaven makes many comments related to the virtue of resilience. In your view, what are some key characteristics that resilient people tend to possess?

Suppose that you were to make integrity and resilience central goals within your own life (indeed, perhaps they are already central aims for you!). What would be the most significant steps you would take in developing such character traits?

What is racial color blindness?Why, according to the authors you have read and, in the video, given, is color blindness problematic?

Answer the following questions. In your post you MUST include either the entire question for each answer or the number designating the question:

1. What is racial color blindness?

2. Why, according to the authors you have read and, in the video, given, is color blindness problematic?

3. What is your view of race relations in general? And what is your view of color blindness, at work in particular (or at university for students who do not currently work)?

How can her educational excellence be said to make her an example of the system even as she criticizes the system and what it’s done to her indigenous values and views?How does it call into question what it means to be “American”? Is “American” a cultural construction, because if not, who would be more “American” than the people who were here before European colonizers?

Read “The School Days of an Indian Girl,” “An Indian Teacher Among Indians” and “The Great Spirit” in the book American Indian Stories by Zitkala-Sa

In these stories, Zitkala-Sa describes contradictory feelings about the education system for American Indian tribal members. She feels differently about the system at different times, but the development of her feelings toward and her understanding of the system isn’t even or smooth. For example, even after she comes to certain conclusions about negative impacts of the American Indian boarding school system, she excels in that system, and even after she understands how the system’s purpose is to make its pupils less “Indian” and more “American,” she comes to teach for it.

How do you explain these paradoxes and contradictions? How do Zitkala-Sa’s writings show her caught between two different worlds with different values? How do her writings show her both harmed by the American Indian boarding school system and succeeding in it?

How can her educational excellence be said to make her an example of the system even as she criticizes the system and what it’s done to her indigenous values and views?

How and why can both points of view, even as they seem contradictory, be said to be valid? How does the stated educational purpose of the boarding school system for American Indians, to make its students less “Indian” and more “American” seem problematic?

How does it call into question what it means to be “American”? Is “American” a cultural construction, because if not, who would be more “American” than the people who were here before European colonizers?

Where does Zitkala-Sa, an “American Indian,” fit between “American” and “Indian,” and how does her experience with the boarding school system demonstrate that difficulty?
