Socratic Seminar Pt. 2: The Right to Your Opinion

  • Well, what is an opinion? 
An opinion is something you hold to your self. We're all entitled to our own opinion.
  • Like Dr. Preston mentioned about someone's favorite color being blue and your friend's being yellow... You may go back and forth about which color is better but the conversation is then cut. By one of you saying, "Well you're entitled to your own opinion." Because the negativity was then cut short and while discussing which was better it ended there.
  • When shutting someone's opinion they feel hurt and emotional
  • limbic area: governs our emotions
  • being gentle on the people, being easy on the people, and really hard on the problem
  • syllogism- the simplest form of argument
  • Money is nothing than a system of agreements
  • claiming a right to our opinion doesn't get us closer to the truth, it stops conversations it's not technically true because we are not automatically entitled to someones else's agreement... it entitles them.... because we depend on shared opinion...                               
  • a lot of things that are "sacred" they're not.... a lot of things that we think that are "sacred" are not... 
  • In local parentis- in place of the parents
    • the legal principle that allows school administrators to act in place of the parents... that's why they can enforce dress code........ schools have a school dress code policy
  • USE YOUR POWERS FOR GOOD
  • Our brains are BRILLIANT but our bodies are DUMB
  • when we give our opinion it isn't just us saying what we think but we provide evidence and use logic to present it.... not just how we say but how we show
