Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for December 11th

***If you signed up for the excursion on December 8th (Friday), please be at the venue by 10:00 am as our tour will begin at 10:15 sharp.***

In advance of next week's session, please: 

- read as much as you can from Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau (read at least the last two slides from today's presentation): https://www.gutenberg.org/files/71/71-h/71-h.htm  Identify at least one statement in the text that surprises and/or interests you (bear in mind that this text inspired a number of leaders in more recent history such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi).
