Rhetorical question

Plato’s “Meno”, Meno prompts Socrates to answer a question concerning virtue and whether or not it can be taught. Socrates approaches this question with another question, which requires Meno to first define virtue. He explains to Meno that his approach is wrong and in order to answer a question about the nature of something, we must first understand what that something is. Socrates and Meno then engage in a dialogue in which they inquire into two questions: what virtue is and whether it can be…

For as long as I can remember, there is a specific question that I have asked myself: Why am I here and where am I headed? The fact that I am unable to answer this question completely drains my energies. While I am sure that a number of individuals struggle with this question, I have found that I do not even understand the question itself, much less its answer. For the longest time, I remember being so lost that I no longer recognized the person in the mirror. Looking back on my high school days…

interview my husband of 17 years. Perhaps my own discomfort highlighted some of the cringe worthy moments during the 60 minute interview, including asking about the first time he had intercourse. The anxiety made me question if I truly wanted to know the answer to the sample intake questions. After all, I can still hear my grandmother’s voice a few minutes before my wedding telling me, “lo que no fue en tu ano no es tu dano/ what was not in your time is not your harm,” meaning I must not to…

from crying in one minute. This required following directions, collaboration, completion of the challenge, and critical thinking skills. After this the students had the chance to read more about an article related to the topic and answer open ended questions on it. For my anticipatory set I engaged every students by making it fun and easy. I threw a ball to a student and asked to say the first thing that pops in their head when I say the words “Baby.” They then passed it to each other and…

I have been a student of WKU for 1 year and in these two semesters what I have learned and experienced are more than I thought. Before I came to WKU, I knew that WKU is an American University that most of teacher’s native language is English and only speak English in the class. The reasons why I came WKU are I want to improve my English and try to study in the American way. Actually, going through this freshman year, I have learned a lot and changed a lot. The first thing I learned is the…

Both cases had to be documented. I documented the 19 year old case in an email and sent it over to my supervisor to correct. I find that on a day to day basis I am learning new things. I hope to eventually be able to make a CPS referral and to ask questions in an OB consult. I find that the more practice and observing I do, the more experience I will gain. I feel that I have been working to my fullest potential but I do feel that I could improve by allowing myself to take initiative and by…

routine because students came in sat down and began working on their warm-up question. I thought this was a great idea because it helped students focus on the subject matter right away. It also gave the teacher time to set up for the lesson, which is very crucial for this teacher because he does not have a homeroom. Another teaching move I observed was giving time for student to form an answer. He did this by proposing a questions and then instead of asking for an answer immediately he let…

Often times, the question is asked, “How does learning this help me? What can I possibly do with this?” The answer, while not necessarily concrete, is simple: Our knowledge is cumulative, and it prepares us for tomorrow by helping us learn how to learn and understand, even if its not a related topic A question that has been asked before, and likely will be proposed many times in the future, is: “Does what I learn today build upon what I learned yesterday?” The answer to that question is yes,…

hear my stepmom pull in the driveway and my dad asking where she had been. She replies harshly,”I do not answer to you, I am a grown woman.” I could tell by the change in his voice that he did not want to argue with her; he was just asking a simple question. She proceeds to tell him how she found the gun under the bed he had slept in and asked him “What exactly were you planning to accomplish with this?” It was no secret my dad had suicidal tendencies; I myself tried to sweep it under the rug.…

Well, I went to Sick Boss at the Lido. I first passed Chris 's place, and detected some light, very faint, and, anyway, I have no way of knowing if he indeed still resides there. I know that if he sighted me his conspiratorial mind would immediately jump to extreme ideas. But this only dilutes my message and intention with negativity; the reason I passed it is because I am interested in him, and hope he is well. Passing Chris 's necessarily means I overshot the Lido, consequently my arrival at…
