From the Socratic Seminar, out of everything we talked about, what struck me the most was when we talked about the issue of good and evil. No matter what we talked about, somehow along the way we would lead back into talking about it.
We played with the idea that when we're born, we were already born with a set scale of how evil or good we are. And although I don't really agree with it, but I understand where it's coming from. Personally for me, I see good and evil as traits that we acquire through time and experience. How evil or how good we are can change through time. And how it's judged or measured would differ for everyone. Since there's no true definition of the words good and evil. Since everyone has a different understanding and meaning to it.
So that's what I got from the Socratic Seminar, and the picture I posted is one of the pictures I took in my travels of a street sign artistically vandalized. I like it, and this somewhat shows how something good(street sign shows law and order which is needed with the traffic around, so that's good) could be changed with something evil(it was vandalized, which is most likely against the law, so that's bad).
