Gas chambers built by learned engineers.

Children poisoned by educated physicians.

Infants killed by trained nurses.

Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates.

So I am suspicious of education.
My request is: Help you students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated Eichmanns.

1. Describe the English people who were the early settlers in North America. What names or descriptions did the groups have and why didn’t they stay in England?

1. Briefly describe the development of the idea of slavery in the American colonies. How did slavery benefit the slave owners? Why was there a switch to African slaves?  

1. Define each of the terms below (use complete encyclopedia definitions and examples to clarify  meaning when needed):
   1. Identity - How a person sees him or herself as a result of their social setting or context.  Expected “normal” behavior is included in each social category of identity and people tend to adjust their behaviors to fit. Example: If I have the identity of a teenager, I may still enjoy riding a merry-go-round, but I would feel embarrassed to do so. I would likely make the choice not to ride the merry-go-round because it is not “normal” to ride, given my “identity.” Identity may also be seen as a choice. It would have been “normal” in 1955 for Jimmy Carter to join the White Citizens Council in Georgia and practice discrimination, but he chose an identity that included a broader notion of humanity rather than simply conforming to his neighbors’ expectations of a southern  white man.
   2. Antisemitism
