- Our roles: do we have a role in this story as citizens, taxpayers, community members, students, teachers?
- Empathy exams: do we care? do we understand? How do we know that we understand?
- Self-education & inquiry: what do we really know about what’s going on in the world? What issues does the story raise for you? What questions does it raise for you?
