I found this video reports very interesting.

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

The second report is a debate regarding pornography. This Face-off took place at Yale University during their Sex Week.

I want to invite you to share about your experience in living in a Small Group House.

“SGH offers a setting to foster closer and more caring relationships, to allow students to exercise more responsibility for their decisions…by taking seriously the implication of commitment to one another.”

Feel free to respond to any of the following questions. Also, you can comment on whatever aspect of your experience.

1. In what areas have you grown since living in a small group house?
2. How have your relationships developed?
3. I’m sure you have experienced conflict; can you elaborate on your experience?
