Answer to Question 1

The students should discuss the idea that high self-esteem is not universally valued.
Many cultures expect children to be modest. The text gives examples from Australia,
Angola, and China. The student who is thinking critically will evaluate the tendency in
some schools to use evaluations rather than grades. Critical thinking might also
reveal that an unrealistic sense of self can lead to difficulties in peer relationships
(specifically aggressive behavior), familial relationships, and academic performance.
