The major philosophical issue that I agreed with in Chapter 1 was Plato’s belief that when people are given ample time to argue their positions, they would come closer to agreement, and consequently closer to the truth. I agree with this philosophical issue because often times when people have disagreements it is because they believe that they are the ones correct in the matter and the other person is wrong, but if they are given the opportunity to discuss the issue, they may realize who is right and who is wrong. For instance, when my students have a disagreement I allow them to go to the “Friendship Table” to discuss their problem, tell each other what they didn’t like or what made them upset, and come up with a plan to fix their disagreement.
