Problematic Situation: "I CAN'T REMEMBER"

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS:

Your memories are as important to your daily life as breathing. Without them the person that is you dies. Without your memories you can be taken advantage of, brainwashed, manipulated, used for other people's purposes. Without memories your brain is empty and ready to be filled by something, anything. The great threat to your world is not Communism. It is not a Russian nuclear warhead. It is not biological warfare initiated by Iraq. The threat is science.

Brain scientists have conquered the world and they are attacking individuals. They have studied the brain for so long that if they can get access to your brain, they can erase your memories. They can control you.

The trick is to hold onto your memories. It has recently been learned that if you can hold onto the memories that define you the most as an individual, the scientists cannot brainwash you. With this in mind you are to generate a list of at least 12 memories that are important to you.

REMEMBER; if you can hold onto the memories that define you most as an individual (unique from all other people), you will be safe. Otherwise, you will become nothing more than another pawn in the brain scientists' hands.
