A second helping hand of Socratic seminar

What is a right?
- privilege
- power

• Any time someone has a right another person has an obligation.
 Ex: A pedestrian has the right to use the crosswalk but the driver has the obligation to stop and let them cross.

• Argument is a search for truth.

- arguments occur because one of the two sides want to be right so they are arguing back and forth trying to figure out who is right or the truth.

My Thesis Statement

I think it’s better to write an essay without a prompt. One reason why is because since you’re so used to having prompts it bores you so you don’t give it as much effort because you’re tired of doing the same type of essays. It would be more interesting to write an essay based off of what you want to write about and what’s most important for you to talk about.
