We agreed together that the general population, for the most part, is stuck in their own ways. We found it rare that anyone with a strong opinion for one side would even consider listening to the apposing side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-57700264897572847612016-01-27T13:46:26.081-06:002016-01-27T13:46:26.081-06:00Our group, James, Courtney P. and I (Courtney M.) ...Our group, James, Courtney P. and I (Courtney M.) discussed whether we've attempted to share our beliefs with other people or not. James is not opposed to sharing his beliefs if he's asked about it or it naturally comes up in conversation but doesn't volunteer his beliefs if its not warranted. Courtney P. is not concerned with sharing his beliefs or hearing of other's beliefs, to paraphrase what he says: his just doesn't care (about what people have to say about beliefs). I myself, have a "I can show you, better than I can tell you" approach. I prefer to demonstrate my beliefs rather than evangelize. If you ask me what makes me this way or keeps me grounded, then at that time I would tell you my beliefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-48037881638443007462016-01-26T20:52:04.656-06:002016-01-26T20:52:04.656-06:00Section #6

Aristotle's open mind on sharing his knowledge and beliefs is interesting to me, so I believe I would have liked to attend his school.<br /><br />2. By preference, I am more of a sedentary person. It mostly depends on mood, though.<br /><br />3. I vividly remember almost dying in a boating incident when I was eight. That stands out pretty well among other memories.<br /><br />4. I try not to speak too much about myself as to not disgruntle anyone, so I can't say I've often shared any of my core principles.<br /><br />5. I personally believe I'm a good listener, although I suppose that's more of a subjective matter.<br /><br />6. I do believe that we live in a time of incivility and intolerance. Media seems to perpetuate this and, although some things should be reacted to intolerably, it has gotten a bit extreme, to the point of almost nullifying meaningful discussions among differing points of view.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883505020239590142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-60986481955050141672016-01-26T20:21:42.634-06:002016-01-26T20:21:42.634-06:00Section #6

A trip to a beautiful lake and waking up every morning to see it, and the experience of going hunting with one's father. The mention of festive activities on a trip to Mexico and the annual celebration that is done over there that brings strangers together for a short time.<br />The second question related to intolerance towards certain subjects in our current time. How most subjects are viewed through eyes of the loud minority that get their voices out there. How the internet has allowed anonymity between people to allow for bolder actions in speech or thoughts. How some people have become more sensitive towards topics like racism and equality.Erick Morgadonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-62882569445596235082016-01-26T15:26:24.702-06:002016-01-26T15:26:24.702-06:00Group Discussion(6)Lucas Futrell,Emmanuela Okot,So...Group Discussion(6)Lucas Futrell,Emmanuela Okot,Sophie Raffo<br /> We discussed Question #2 and #6 from the discussion question list. Two of us were more sedentary people and one of us was an active person. For Question six we all agreed that ignorance of different cultures and beliefs causes intolerance in the world. We felt that a lack of communication between cultures causes stereotypes and false views on different cultures. It was also discussed that environment plays an important part in how you view other cultures. How your parents raised you, or where you grew up are factors that shape your view on prejudice and intolerance.Sophie Raffo #6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-4955228941824863172016-01-26T14:25:11.247-06:002016-01-26T14:25:11.247-06:00Group Discussion section 6 26.

My favorite outdoor experience was kayaking the Hiwassi river. Sterling's most memorable experience was a trip to a wildlife park. Tanner's outdoor experience was a cliff jumping trip. We chose this topic because we like the idea of the correlation between the outdoors and peripatetic philosophizing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841152060057655521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-1372094666756872362016-01-26T13:43:16.429-06:002016-01-26T13:43:16.429-06:006 Brock Francis

I am fascinated by the thought of walking and thinking being linked together fascinates me. When I look at this idea, I completely agree with it and is why I enjoy hiking and outdoors activity.

There are many nice days where I just feel like sitting inside alone with my thoughts and activities, and other days i want to go out and exercise or grab some friends and be active.<br /><br />3. My most memorable outside moments are probably when playing sports.<br /><br />4. I'd say I am very open about my philosophies with many people, and it's hardly ever in a persuasive manner. I always like putting out ideas and conversations and seeing what others think about different topics. Although I've never given a lecture or anything like that.<br /><br />5. Yes, I consider myself a good listener. Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone I'm trying to understand and interpret what is being said to me, and I'm always interested in new ideas.<br /><br />6. Although I have met many open-minded and understanding people in my life, I think as a whole our society is in a period of ideological intolerance and misunderstanding. If the political atmosphere in the U.S. shows anything, its that differences in opinion do not mix well, and opposing sides seem to view each other as enemies.James Huffnaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338612895831486796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-74672918800720238832016-01-26T12:09:10.142-06:002016-01-26T12:09:10.142-06:006 Brock Francis

I do respect and understand the idea of an open forum, especially for the purposes of philosophy. I can understand the benefits behind having no exclusivity towards the “students”. However, having have to work harder for their “membership” or access to this type of schooling, they will provide a more consistent and constructive forum. I think the open concept allows the possibility for the process of education and growth to be derailed by non-constructive discussions or situations. The idea that you have earned something to me, provides a sense of dedication to the purpose of knowledge.<br /><br />2. I truly vary. I enjoy being active and exploring. I love doing something different and pushing myself to experience new things and new places. However, I feel that it is necessary sometimes (at least in my own personal life) to “recharge”. I enjoy solidarity and the times I am able to just relax and contemplate. I do not know if I have a preference on either. I think I have to have a strong balance of the two for myself.<br />3. When I lived in California I took a two week trip up the Pacific Coast highway all the way from LA to Lake Tahoe and back. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It is almost impossible to put into words the feelings, emotions and overall experience of that trip. The hiking and incredible diversity in nature I saw while hiking and staying in Big Sur can only be explained as breathtaking. The California Coastline is like no other. Moving from that type of scenery to the gorgeous and sprawling fields of Napa Valley, then to Lake Tahoe can never be replicated. My drive back to LA through Yosemite national forest is something I would force anyone I know to add to their bucket list.<br />4. I love to discuss, share and debate. I have always had, as my parents would call it, the gift of “gab”. I am never one to shy away from discussion or debates. I think I love it because I need to have a complete picture on things. I strive to know the ins and outs of any topic or belief I can. I do not look to debate out of some necessity to argue, but more to challenge my own ideas and structures. If I exit a conversation or debate and have not gained more perspective or learned something of value I would be disappointed.<br />5. I pride myself on being a strong and supportive listener. My life is built on an “open door” philosophy. I am not one to strike anything down or push my own ideals on others. I enjoy sharing and discovering what makes people tick. I want to know what people’s thoughts, feelings and actions are and why they are that way. It takes a stronger person to listen than it does to talk. Everyone has a voice and naturally wants to be heard. However, how can we progress as a species and culture if no one is willing to listen? In the same token, you must be willing to challenge others in a constructive way. This is a necessity in development and common understanding.<br />6. I do not think that is true on a grand scale. I believe we live in a time that the most animated, boisterous and often times, the most close minded, are the people who are thrust into our lives the most. We live in an age that any and everything is posted, streamed, projected or any other number of forms of communication into our lives. On a daily basis we are nearly overloaded with media, regardless if it is something that benefits our lives or society in any way. I do not believe we live in a time of intolerance or incivility towards dissenting points of view. I do believe however we live in a time where we seem to support and glorify those who do bring forth those ideals. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-33263157859793008082016-01-26T11:12:56.178-06:002016-01-26T11:12:56.178-06:00Section 6
