  1. There are both business people and scientists involved in the re-creation of the dinosaurs. What do you think are the reasons of each? What can we learn from this about how projects and ideas are created and implemented?

  2. How do you think Hammond and his company, InGen, could have done things differently so the results would have been different?

  3. What are the special qualities of Dr. Ian Malcolm? What kind of relationship does he have with the other scientists?

  4. Was any part of this film scary for you?

  5. What are some of the challenges that have to be overcome and what are the qualities that people use, from inside themselves, to overcome those challenges?

  6. What are some of the things you learned about human nature from this film and about how different kinds of people relate to each other?

  7. What would you do if you had discovered a deep dark secret and the people who didn't want you to reveal it were very powerful?

  8. Have you ever found yourself in a situation in which it would have been safer for you to keep your mouth shut but you thought it was important to speak up or to take action? What did you do? How did you feel about it afterwards
