Shyness is more common than we think, and many children attempt to mask their shyness through elaborate measures. Recent studies suggest that shyness may be inherited and genetically based.

Interest groups are groups of people with a shared interest or characteristic who attempt to influence government to promote their shared interest. A variety of different types of interest groups exist. For example, economic groups can be a collection of small businesses, such as the Small Business Association of America, or a union, such as the California Faculty Association. Your constitutional right to engage in interest group activity can be found in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which reads: “Congress shall make no law...abridging…the right of the people to peacefully assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Concurrently, James Madison was quite weary of the power of business interest groups and suggested that restraints be placed upon the mischiefs of faction. Today interest groups have grown significantly due to the decision in Citizens United. Are interest groups good or bad for democracy? Defend and explain your answer.

Over the weekend, your friend Boutros decided to stay home and put the finishing touches on a research paper he's been working on for the last four weeks. A friend texted saying he needed some help with how to cite sources. Boutros happily sent him some examples. When his friend texted back, he said a bunch of their friends was going to ride go-carts. Boutros had never driven a go-cart, so he was very interested in trying this new thing and hanging out with this group of people. But, since his research paper wasn't quite done yet, he declined.

If Boutros were to take the Big Five Personality Inventory, based on this description, how do you think he would score on each of the traits? For example, do you think he would score high, medium, or low on conscientiousness? Explain the reasoning for each of your choices.
