Ambition: Is it In You?


In class on Wednesday, we discussed the ambition article you read last week. Hopefully during Wednesday's class you had a brief opportunity to hear your classmates' thoughts about ambition.

I am asking that you create a blog post that has to do with ambition. You can think of this like a freewrite that we would have done in class, but instead you will create a post on your blog. Feel free to add any pictures or links to your post!

(In addition to this being a graded assignment, this will serve as a practice post so you can start getting used to posting and commenting on/following others' posts.)

This is what I'd like your post to be about:

To what extent is ambition a good thing? When does a person cross the line where ambition can cause harm? Is it even possible for ambition to harmful? If so, when and how? Have you ever seen this happen? If you believe ambition cannot cause harm, explain why.

Last thoughts:
Are you following other peoples' blogs yet? If not, ask some of your classmates what their blog URLs are. The next step to this assignment will be to comment on a few postings of your choice.
