Audience Question and Answer


Question 1: As you look at Harvard students, what are you getting out of undergraduates? Is there a feeling of idealism? Is politics looked as the only way to make the world better?

Question 2: There is a growing phenomenon, at least in Greater Boston, of people who don’t vote in local elections. Can you explain that?

Question 3: Do you think the women’s movement that has taken place in the lives of women in the community, is related to your question about the demise of the PTA and all of the other organizations?

Question 4: What accounts for the difference between the more recent immigrants and the earlier immigrants, in terms of their seeking to keep separate identities and their seeking preferential treatment for their groups politically and otherwise?

Question 5: What do you think the impact is on immigration and all of the other things mentioned? For instance, the impact of immigration on feminism, immigration on civic involvement…it must have enormous impact due to the cultural differences.

Question 6: There are a lot of foreign students at Harvard. What impact does this have on classroom discussions?
