First Socratic Seminar

How did you and your classmates perform in seminar today?

I think that we performed great in the seminar. In addition to the fact that Ms. Golub flattered us by saying that we were the best class that she had ever done a seminar with, I felt that it moved smoothly, and everybody did participate full heartedly, in fact, I noticed that nobody passed, or said anything that they didn't put effort in.

How do the Tao Te Ching’s ideas related to our lives and the world around us?

I think that his ideas are very important in the world and environment around us, especially today. Unstable diplomatic ties with nations in the Middle East and Russia, global warming, unstable economies, and other issues in the present news are all balances, like the Tao Te Ching and the Ying Yang tell us. Also, in more personal detail, with all the distractions such as video games and fast food, balance is especially important.
