Philosophy Statements

Please browse others' philosophy statements and post your own before class on Friday. Keep the following in mind:

1. You are welcome to use one of the five statements from class, but you probably want to adapt it a bit to really fit what you believe to be true.

2. You do not need to use the five philosophy statements if they don't express any of your beliefs. Feel free to develop your own or to use a quotation that you think fits your personal outlook.

3. Remember that this is only a draft; you will probably revise and refine it throughout the semester.

Have fun!

Please click on this link to read about one of the most controversial experiments of our time: The Stanford prison experiment. Read meticulously, as some of the most fascinating (and disturbing) elements of this experiment are in the little details.

When you have finished reading, I'd like you to use the blog to respond to what you have read. I'm not going to give you guiding questions this time; instead, I'd like you to ask your own questions and offer your own, authentic responses. Tomorrow in class we will be connecting this experiment to The Crucible.

Remember that the blog is space to have a conversation, so read others' comments, respond to others' questions, and react to others' reactions. Please respond at least once before midnight on Thursday.
