Section 10 Group 3 9/23/14
Sorry I didn't get to the computer yesterday guys. Anyway, in class on Tuesday we mostly discussed our group projects for the mid-term, and made some great headway and planning on them. Group three is split up two ways. One group talked about the philosophies behind different musicians, which sounds awesome. Our other project group decided to base our project on the philosophies of different comedians, because who doesn't love a good laugh, right? It is the best medicine. Some comedians mentioned for study were Louis C.K., Charlie Sheen, George Carlin, Marc Maron, and Seth McFarlane. This looks like it's going to be a very fun project indeed.

My project is over Robin Williams so here is a philosophical quote, that is quite interesting.
I'm glad our projects made significant progress Tuesday. Significant progress in this case begin defined as deciding on groups and topics. Now we just need to narrow down the details, but I'm optimistic (a rarity for me) that this will come together in a good way.
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't want to get into the mode of setting everything up, I do want to have a discussion today of standardizing some aspects, and making sure we come across as an actual group instead of seven people who just picked the same theme. Any and all ideas will be considered, but if nobody has any and I do, silence will equal consent.
FQ: (Jeremy) Bentham dismissed the notion of natural rights as "________ on stilts?"
DQ: What political beliefs do you currently hold, and who/what brought you to these beliefs?
Link: For those who have never seen it, I highly recommend watching all seven seasons of The West Wing on Netflix. It was a superbly written and acted show and for our discussion today, I present Rob Lowe's character discussing the tipping point on discourse regarding taxing the wealthy "because they can afford it."

FQ: Niccolo Machiavelli believed it was best to always tell the truth. (T/F)
ReplyDeleteDQ: Do you agree with Machiavelli's philosophy that half of our fate is chance and the rest is from the decisions we make? Why or why not?
