    Point that Kane and I will discuss:

    1. Seinfeld helps restore our appreciation for our life; life is comprised of events and a lot of annoyances and some may say life is about "nothing".
    - There are millions of ordinary moments that make up our lives, and this is why we find joy in watching Seinfeld. We see ourselves as one of the characters often.

    2. Who doesn't know someone that is a close talker, like the soup Nazi, or a woman that has man hands?
    - We find joy not because the show is about nothing, but because we can predict what Jerry might say when he see's Newman.
    - It's fun to laugh when Kramer runs in through the door,and you know he is going to do it every time.

    3. Sartre says that interactions with others is essential to making who you are; do you believe this to be true?
    - "You are who you hang out with" or "look around who your closest friends"

    Additional Discussions:

    What are the importance of having friends to be yourself?
    -Jerry says he can't see a bad movie and have nobody to tell jokes to, that's who Jerry is; so could he be "Jerry" without friends?

    Open Discussion on different personalities and do we see personality characteristics from philosophers in today's world?
