How We Get News and Information Now

As you do the readings and watch the videos, think about what challenges and opportunities arise from the transformation in news gathering and reporting made possible by the internet and in the proliferation of easy access to information. After doing the readings and watching the videos, post to the discussion board about these transformations. Some thoughts to get you started:

Do you and your friends and family fit the models of news consumption described in the Pew articles? You may want to refer to some of the charts and graphs and cite some statistics from the articles to make your case.

Can limiting your reading to what is posted by like-minded friends on social media make you narrow-minded? How? You may need to cite specific articles and passages to make your case.

Think about everyday access to an important newspaper like the Washington Post. Would you pay for it, or do you think all news should be free? Consider this: who is going to do the long-term research and investigative reporting that roots out corruption if all news is free and not done by professional journalists? [Hint: read the optional reading on investigative journalism for more about this topic.]

Roles of the Case Manager

Explain whether you think the case manager is sufficient enough support for the drug-court client in each component or if you feel that the family, peers, or client should also serve as a case manager. Support your positions with evidence from the text.

Examine whether there is reason to think the pertinent arguments are indeed in contradiction with one another, as suggested by the statement quoted above.

Plato’s Protagoras

At the end of Plato’s Protagoras, Socrates suggests to Protagoras that the outcome of the argument is to leave both of them looking ridiculous. (361a). Here is how Socrates describes the situation, from what he imagines would be the discussion’s point of view:

Socrates, you said earlier that virtue cannot be taught, but now are arguing the very opposite and have attempted to show that everything is knowledge— justice, temperance, courage — in which case, virtue would appear to be eminently teachable. On the other hand, if virtue is anything other than knowledge, as Protagoras has been trying to say, then it would clearly be unteachable. (361b)

Notice that Socrates goes no further than to say than this is how the situation appears. He does not acknowledge a genuine contradiction in his own prior arguments — he’s just conceding the impression of one, in the interest of broaching a further investigation of the issues.

For this assignment, you are invited to assess this impression of the situation, through a consideration and assessment of the following proposition:

If Socrates’ arguments on behalf of the unity of virtue and knowledge are valid, those same arguments also imply that he cannot consistently reject Protagoras’ reasons for thinking that virtue is teachable.

1. You are not required, nor expected, to pass judgment on the overall validity of the arguments under discussion. The assignment calls simply for you to examine whether there is reason to think the pertinent arguments are indeed in contradiction with one another, as suggested by the statement quoted above. (To do this, however, you must take the arguments seriously, as arguments, advanced by characters who care about being found persuasive).

2. Your primary responsibility in writing this essay is to offer a potential contribution toward your (hypothetical) reader’s gaining a more complete comprehension of the arguments in Plato’s Protagoras. This does not mean you’re expected to resolve every ambiguity or obscurity in those arguments. But it also doesn’t mean that you can freely disregard what you deem ambiguous or obscure, or inconvenient to your interpretation. Your task is to make as much sense of the material that you can, and then (if need be) pinpoint as precisely as possible what remains obscure to you, or otherwise unresolved. This itself is a contribution toward an enlarged comprehension of the work under discussion.

3. Citations to the text should be given with Stephanus numbers. You may provide the citations parenthetically within the body of your essay. (See the format used in the “Euthyphro Study Guide”). As this is a short paper. direct quotations should be kept to a minimum – i.e., used only when truly needed for purpose of making a point. However,  note that you are expected to provide citations for all references to specific statements or references in the text, whether or not you quote from the text directly.
