Consider the lives of Jack Johnson, Alfons Heck and Loung Ung. To what extent were their lives a product of the choices they made and the larger contexts in which they lived? Be sure to cite specific events in each of their lives that address this issue of agency versus life circumstance. In the final page or paragraph of your essay, reflect on how this issue of agency or circumstance affects your own sense of self as a global citizen in the 21st century. Can only use these books: Roberts, Randy Papa Jack: Jack Johnson and the Era of White Hopes, Heck, Alfons. A Child of Hitler: Germany in the Days When God Wore a Swastika, Ung, Luong. First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.
