Michael Sandel?????

This was one of those lectures that kinda hurts your head and makes you feel like you don't know what you believe because he makes you question EVERYTHING! He was very interactive with the audience. In fact, it was more of a discussion than a lecture. He would ask the audience questions and then have them raise their hands and answer into a microphone. It eventually got to the point where the audience was responding to each other's responses and not just Sandel's questions. He proposed some very tough moral situations. We would try to make it better by asking to change certain things in the situation but he would not. It was neat to be able to think about these things because a lot of times we are afraid to think about, let alone have discussions to our peers about. I think as a society, we need to get better at that. It is important to be able to have moral discussions with out there being hostility and judgement. It all comes down to what I have written about before.... RESPECT. It is the core of so many things.
