Today in class we had a long discussion on different thoughts about virtues and perspectives. We started off with an intro to women in athens and they way this was seen through the perspective of ancient greek men.
We began to discuss the various types of virtues and if they belonged in the eyes of the beholder. We began to analyse justice and knowledge while throwing ideas around back and forth. It was intresting being able to see everyones perspectives. What many people said during seminar was sort of like a window into their thoughts and experiences. Based on what people said I saw a little bit on how they were raised and how they live their life outside of school.
We began to discuss questions posed by socrates thousands of years ago. Is wrongdoing a consequence of ignorance? This was a question we talked about back and forth. Many people posed great points and this led to the improvement of the overall discussion. Some people said that wrongdoing for a good cause is right. I disagreed saying that it was still a wrong thing to do to an extent.
Overall I liked the discussion and felt that it was something very benifitial to the learning process. I think that many people are finding it hard to open up and that these are the people that dont participate. Eventually these people will be comfortable enough to contribute and when they do the overall experience will be enhanced.
