My Opinion Isn't (A) Right

 "Right to Your Opinion”
  • Declaring that you have a right to your opinion is a fallacy and irrelevant in an argument
  • People only willing to accept that their opinions are wrong are in cases like not seeing an oncoming car (when in danger)
  • We do not have the right we think we do, cannot do anything we want to our bodies because could potentially harm others
  • The words entitled and rights are thrown around and not taken very seriously anymore

Socratic Seminar
  • Our world embodies interdependence: everyone is dependent on everyone else
  • Drunk drivers have laws not to protect only them but others
  • Rights: create obligation for someone else to listen and respect and take into consideration what you are saying
  • Limbic: emotional parts of brain (defensive, angry), the terrible twos
  • Schema: way of thinking that makes things the most economically pleasing, efficiently causes us to look at things certain ways
  • We don’t have right to opinion because of the definition of right
  • Allowed to have our own opinions but others are not obligated to respect them
