Description
you will complete the following:
Select a key idea from one of our five philosophers covered (Plato, Isocrates, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintillian)
Apply that key idea to a modern-day context.
Demonstrate how that key idea helps the reader understand your perspective on the modern-day context.
For example, you may choose to discuss Plato’s concept of how knowledge changes perspective, and you may apply that idea to a modern-day novel, film, news story, or even a magazine advertisement.
The choice of what you apply the tool to is your own. By that, you may choose whatever text, or artifact that communicates a message, to apply the tool.
Imagine, for example, you watched Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, that film we talked about in our discussion of Plato. You might want to talk about how that film does or does not successfully apply the concepts of Plato to teach the audience about a larger idea.
Note: You may debate whether the text you choose does or does not meet the standards of your chosen philosopher’s ideas.
Include at least two references – one from a philosopher and at least one from a credible outside source.
Will provide more info. would like to discuss regarding the media biased, doubled standards, lack of ethics. (example how the narrative changes when talking about Palestine vs Ukraine)
