1. Direction: Use this forum to introduce yourself to the professor and the class.

Begin by addressing the following questions: What is your major? What are your professional goals? Finally, consider the particulars of your day today. Somethings to take into account include the following; though this list is not exhaustive. Thus, feel free to reflect on daily details that may not be included below:

• What did you eat for breakfast?
• How was your commute to work? Did you drive or carpool? What observations did you make during your commute?
• What is the nature of your job?
• Do you have children? Are they enrolled in school? Public or private?

With this in mind, briefly describe your interaction with government. For example, how was your choice in breakfast impacted by government programs or legislation? How might your job be affected by government policy or, perhaps, your daily route to work, etc. The goal of this assignment is to emphasis that we all encounter government and politics daily whether we realize it or not.

1. Please briefly introduce yourself. You may share as much or as little as you like. I am also interested in why you selected this course.

2. What do you associate with Thailand and have you been exposed to Thailand and its people, e.g. by film, travel etc.? Again, you might write here as little or as much as you like.
