Give students one of three short scenarios and
have them answer the questions.

• Scenario I A 21-year-old graduate of Amherst
  College applies to the University of Maryland Law
  School and is rejected despite strong
  qualifications. What could explain this? What
  would you advise him to do?
• Scenario II A Rockville area elementary school
  teacher is being paid less than half the amount
  his colleagues at other schools make. What could
  explain this? What would you recommend he do
  about it?
• Scenario III An 18-year-old girl nervously
  enters the gates of Glen Echo Amusement Park. As
  she climbs on to the spotted yellow horse on the
  merry-go-round her heart beats quickly. Why do
  you think she respond this way? What would you
  tell her if you were her friend?
