The topic of my Psych Review Paper was “mind-wandering” and whether it had an effect on film comprehension.

Meno poses the question “can virtue be taught?” (70a) Meno’s goal is to understand how one can acquire virtue, but Socrates inquires as to what virtue is. Meno attempts a few definitions of virtue, which Socrates deems inaccurate through the usage of the elenchus, where he dissects each suggestion to show Meno that it does not hold all the…

Charles Montgomery elaborates in his article “Why We’re Sometimes Kind Without Reason” how people act when they first meet.
