How do we study Essential Questions?

We have discussed and even created essential questions.  Now the question I have for is, how do we study essential questions?  Last week we watched the video of a college student, Dan Brown attempting to explain his answer for the essential question of "what role does education play in modern society".  I reminded you that essential questions have more than one "right" answer.  Below is a response to Dan Brown's explanation.  It was also created by a college student.  I want you to read the response position and if needed re-watch the Dan Brown video.  THEN answer the questions on the response to Dan Brown reading.
Tomorrow and Friday you will be examining a much larger essential question pertaining to why civilizations started where they did.  We will examine two rather famous explanations; one by Jared Diamond and the other by Charles Mann.

What is the role of education in today's society?
