Instructions. PLEASE Read THE INNER RING.  It Starts on Page 46 through Page 54.  The Inner Ring speech, was about all the bad things that might happen when people act and work in groups. One of the things the speaker worried about: how you tend to get a "cool kids" or "in-group" situation, and how people behave badly both when they're in the group and in order to GET IN the group.  Question for the assignment: Does friendship have to be that way? Are there certain things about true friendship that make friendship different from the more unhealthy groups?
