TBA reading and topic for 1.28

Hey All,

Here's a reading on the science behind New Year's resolutions, and another one on the cultural history of the phenomenon.  Feel free to bring your own slant to this topic by adding links to additional readings to your posts.

For next week, please write your own entries in response and post them on your individual blogs by Wednesday. You can relate your post to the subject in any way you choose. The main thing to focus on is productively advancing the conversation. Carve out an an aspect of the topic that interests you. Locate a set of compelling questions or problems and start to explore them, working toward clarifying some ideas and laying the groundwork for eventually building a claim or thesis. We will discuss this topic Wednesday, so think of yourself as preparing to add a contribution that helps broaden and deepen our upcoming classroom discussions.
