Tribes Essay Topics

1.

Pick a tribe that has developed between 2008 and now. Using Godin’s parameters, describe the tribe’s origin, progress, successes, and failures. How does this group match up to the author’s principles?

2.

The book often contrasts eudaimonic wellbeing and hedonistic wellbeing. How may pursuing purpose benefit a tribe, and how may it hurt them? Is it possible for a tribe to succeed solely by pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain? Is it possible to strike a productive balance between the two, and are there any real-world examples of such a group?

3.

What would the Godin of 2008 have to say about today’s technological era? Cite textual evidence. Do you believe Tribes is overly optimistic about the Internet’s developments? Why or why not?
