Kompetenzerweiterung III (Wednesday Group), Homework for November 3rd

 For homework, please prepare the following: 

- read the file "food waste lake sun leader" and prepare to debate the question: Should food packaging stop featuring expiration dates? (Consider how you genuinely respond to this question and then make an attempt to formulate a "devil's advocate" thesis for the "other side".)

(Here's an interesting German article on the topic as well: Lebensmittel: Das Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum könnte aus Europas Supermärkten verschwinden (msn.com) )

- read the file "responses to partner" and do exercise 58.1 from the "responses to partner exercises" file.

- read the file "should companies encourage fun at work" and come up with a concrete detail/example/experience to support a yes answer and one to support a no answer. 

- watch this Skavlan interview with Canadian writer Malcolm Gladwell and be prepared to debate the question, "Should we do away with face-to-face interviews?" (Minutes 4-7 of this video are most relevant for the debate.) Malcolm Gladwell explains why he avoids face-to-face job interviews | SVT/TV 2/Skavlan - YouTube

Make sure you're prepared to debate the following questions in next week's class:

1. Should food packaging stop featuring expiration dates?

2. Should companies encourage fun at work?

3. Should we do away with face-to-face interviews?
