A SECOND HELPING OF SOCRATIC SEMINAR

The Rights to Your Opinion

This morning, I found myself listening to a discussion about our, "rights":


  • What is a right? →Something that belongs to you, is backed up by LAWS*
  • "I am entitled to my opinion/ Well, that's just your opinion" = Ends arguments/Makes the search for the truth harder 
  • A Right= something a person must honor                                                                                                      Ex. A pedestrians right of passage
  • Having an opinion→doesn't require someone to feel, think, and or agree 
  • My opinion is worthless unless it is understood by someone else! 
  • Friendship/Love= "Modern" Part of brain
  • Limbic area(part of brain) = logic/reasoning 
  • Gentle on the people HARD on the problem! 
  • MUST have evidence to back up your reasoning
  • Dollar bill is MEANINGLESS→Significance is it's symbol of agreement 
  • En Loco Parenti= Legal principle that allows school staff to take the positions of "Parents" 
  • Use your power for GOOD
  • Syllogism= Simplest form of argument 
  • "Don't judge me"= Common saying to end an argument 
  • Bodies= GOOD judges 





Signing out,
