So often in persuasive communication, people do not recognize impediments to influence. People will only engage in a behavior if they think they have the power to do it and it is something within their control. Additionally, experiences are powerful and can shape your worldview. After reading the article "Who Needs Individual Responsibility?" respond to the following:

• Discuss how a person's socioeconomic status affects their worldview and their perception of power and control. Please use an example in your explanation.
• Discuss an experience and how it changed your view on a topic, possibly even a value or a belief.

In your reply posts, choose responses that may differ from your viewpoint, and discuss those differences.
