Notes on Socratic Seminar: "The Right To Your Opinion"

An article by Jamie Whyte:
(can be read here: http://drprestonsrhsenglitcomp12.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-right-to-your-opinion.html)
Notes on the Seminar:
  • Your opinion should always be questioned for the sake of improving your own knowledge
  • Opinion is not a solid fact, it can be possibly bias of thought
  • Opinion appeals primarily to bias
  • When is it right to have your own opinion?
  • support of opinion could possibly be more right then another
  • Flexibility is available to everyone and if can be used allows you to support your opinion better
  • Your opinion is to force upon others, that is to persuade into thinking similar to yourself
  • Thinking of perspective and understanding through being compatible allows you to possibly find the "correct" opinion
  • An opinion should be expressed in a constructive way
  • Is the saying, "I've been around longer." mean that that particular person's opinion is more valuable then your own?
Feel free to comment on questions.
