“Who counts as human?” (20). Why are the experiences of loss, vulnerability, grief, mourning integral to Butler’s thesis? Do we agree that these are universal human experiences that might be a source of moral response? Can you illustrate with your community experience?
and/or
Awe: “Let’s face it, we’re undone by each other. And if we’re not, we’re missing something_ (23) Do you have a significant moment from service that illustrates this? I’m sure that everyone has a life experience that makes you tremble a bit when you read this.
Significance of the discussion of identity/autonomy/the body (24-38). Tie back to other points. This leads into important discussion of vulnerability—how does she then tie this back into the previous points she has built? Can you illustrate with your community experience?
and/or
Dehumanization of the Other 32-49. Crucial points here and she weaves in all the other points.
“We do not need to ground ourselves in a single model of communication, a single model of reason, a single notion of the subject before we are able to act” (48). Think about this in relation to in relation to your service-learning experience. Can you use a specific or significant moment to illuminate?
