section 10, group 2 Kant Touch This

Today we first talked about our midterm projects, and made sure each group knows what they are doing and our individual roles. Then we broke into smaller groups. One group went outside and we discussed protest and how useful certain forms of protest really are. We also talked about Anselm and if his argument for God's existence is valid or not.

    1. Is there one certain way that a ruler should rule? Should there literally be a standard, or should it differ upon leadership tactics and personality? Just a thought.
