The Socratic Seminar

Decent Essays
For me personally, the Socratic seminar did help with some of the topics we talked about like about school back then. In that time, a teacher could hit a student and it was okay and excepted it wasn’t really a big deal but now if a teacher hits a student they would get in trouble and possible loss their job. I also found it a bit weird these kids get so much freedom they get to leave school in the middle of the day to go home and eat lunch and then go back to school. In the Socratic seminar, we also talked about Miss. Caroline and how she is still really new to teaching. We talked about Miss. Caroline kind of gets mad at Scout because she knows how to read and write since Miss. Caroline is new she still tries to teach the kids in a kind of

    I personally really liked this workshop that we did in class and I think it should be added to the schedule for future assignments. Reading the sample essays as a class and breaking them a part piece by piece made it easier to understand what you are looking for in our Scholarly Rhetorical Analysis. I was able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each paper. But I also heard new opinions from peers that I overlooked when reading it by myself.…

A man who was too progressive for his time, Socrates’ radical ideas, such as the rejection of materialistic society, challenged those whose wealth shielded them from the masses. This progressive man defied common beliefs, and confronted those who held those beliefs. An unexpected teacher of many, Socrates was a visionary whose ideas challenged the status quo and social structure of society.…

    When Scout started school— on her first day— she “started on the wrong foot (22)”. It all started when Ms. Caroline asked the children to take out their lunches. After scanning the whole class, she notices that one of the children didn’t have a lunch bucket; so, she offered him a quarter to get something to eat — he refused. His name was Walter Cunningham— Cunninghams don’t accept what they can’t pay back. However, Ms.Caroline didn’t take the memo and urged Walter to take the coin— again he refused.…

    Socrates Persuasion

    Socrates Persuades Glaucon by telling him it will not be hard for them to descend and is the right thing to do. Socrates wants to reassure Glaucon that “ there is no injustice” to tell the enlightened to descend into the “ general underground abode.” Socrates goes on to imply that descension is to “ have a care and providence”. Socrates here is saying many things: it is not wrong to tell philosophers to descend, it will be easy to compel them to descend, and third, he is in a sense guilt-tripping Glaucon and the philosophers.…

    Through the progression of this course, various aspects of history were viewed, in addition to concepts that are still associated to the lives of Aboriginal peoples today. While carrying some previous, biased knowledge on the topics discussed, First Nations Studies allowed the development of many ideas as well as the differing perspectives on each. Via the use of assorted reading selections, tutorial discussions, guest speakers, lectures, and a variety of other forms, I was able to take away a unique understanding, different to the one I had prior, which in turn educated me on Indigenous communities. This course attempted to bypass the anger that has been accumulated over the years, and portray information in order to avoid further issues…

    How To Shape My Worldview

    Growing up in a blue collar, middle American, union home has given me the privilege to accomplish many of the goals that I have set forth for myself without much trouble. I grew up in a predominantly caucasian town, with a well funded school system, and was I active in my local congregation, which has impacted the way that I see the world. My parents played an extremely active role in my life and encouraged my siblings and I to work hard and to set high goals for ourselves. They would be critical of our decision making and insisted that we be responsible and finish the goals that we had set for ourselves because quitting was never an option for us. I think that class has always played a critical role in shaping my worldview.…

    Coming into this course, I really didn 't know what to expect. Sociology is something that I’ve always known about, but never really paid much attention to. As many people other people think, I saw sociology and psychology as the same thing. I didn 't take the time to read or understand what the difference was and even if there really was a difference. I quickly learned that there was.…

    Social Work with Groups course is giving me more insight to the other courses that I have taken previously and some of those that I am currently rolled in such as Social Work with Families and Community Development. After reading the textbook and the discussions in class, the theories of group counseling, viewing groups through multicultural lens, leadership qualities and functions, co-facilitator and group development stood out for me and broaden my perception into Social Work as a profession. The first thing that caught my attention this time is that, theories of counseling are also applicable to group counseling. I learned about the theories in my social work practice class last year. This show how important the theories are to me as an emerging social worker.…
