Socratic Seminar

Thred #1 - I do agree that you should have the right to your own opninion but I think there is a certain point or a certain subjects were you should keep your opinion to yourself so that way you won't harm or anger anyone around you.

Thred #2 - For "Earths On Turtles Back"  I feel that this story was like an old myth or a folk tale that people from many centeries ago used to tell each other before astronomy came into the world. I also feel like there is also a meaning to the it, I feel like in the story they are also trying to say that you don't need to be the biggest or the fastest to the strongest. I feel like that if you can push yourself to the edge and succeed in whatever you want to accomplish.

Thred #3 - I feel that technology is very importan, especially in this decade. We use technololgy to find cures for diseases, find and store information, contact people, and ect. but i feel like we are also are using technology in stuff that we can simply do ourselves or  there comes to point were we can't live with out, which is why i try not to get to attach to it. A big percentage of todays teens have a smart phones, computers, ipods, ipads, PS3's and so much more and we all feel like we would die without all of it which i think is not true. All I have is a phone and a computer and I'm okay with that I don't need any of that technology because I don't  need it. Also if anyone else notices this, but comercials these days are having alot of products for little kids that involve ipods, ipads, and computers because companies are trying to get the younger generation to get used to having technololy and also buy there products. I don't like it one bit because sooner or later the kids aren't going to play outside as much or get as much excersice and they are going to think that they are going to need all of that but they really don't. So I think technology is a good thing for research and communication but I beleive in reality  we don't really need technology as much as we think we do.
