It seems like a fair number of discussions I have
gotten into recently end with “agreeing to disagree’ or something similar. I am
not an argumentative type, but I do think I use logic (or try to) in my
discussions, and I am most definitely open to be wrong and learning from that.
Have you encountered that person or persons who feel
that they know everything but yet have nothing to back it up? We actually have
great examples of this from the last eight years of politics, and more recent
example with the myriad of presidential candidates.
When did honest debate and admitting when you are
wrong go out of style or has it really gone out style? Why are we so afraid to
talk about the various elephants in the room? When did we all become so rude?
Have we forgotten how to communicate with each other on a simple human level
due to all the various forms of electronic communication (keyboard warriors),
or is it we really just do not care anymore?
These are things that I think about sometimes, but
as educator, thinking about them is not enough because solutions are needed.
What are the solutions? More to come…
