Week 1 Review

Grasshoppers, Week 1 went well. I think that it provided a solid intro to basic ethics. Here’s what we did:

- Discussed the Dunning-Kruger effect and related it to our inquiry

- Looked at the rudiments of how to make arguments (PP/C). Applied this to a few ethical positions.

- Began our examination of why we need reasons for our beliefs

- Discussed the idea that not all processes are the same. Some processes are better than others.

For Week 2, remember to read the “How to Make an Argument” paper and listen to the news daily. Also, please remember to do the assigned reading noted in the syllabus. (If you haven’t already done so, please bring in a 1 gig thumb drive).

Have a great weekend!
