Socratic Seminar Q and A

1st Question

Why should I bother with geography?


Answer:

geography is a concept that is understood, you can identify whatever city/country you can think of, geography is the study of the world and it's countries and the states and cities within them, if you bother with geography, then you will be better learned, happy about your new found knowledge, and left with the ability to sort out various countries, and even the states within them. and with that, you can become a better-off-than-most world traveler with ease! I think geography would be a great thing to be bothered with.

Language Arts


Language arts help you realize the different cultures out there, and the various languages that are spoken in the world, and it helps with your learning of culture if you can better understand the angle of the people, and that's all I have to say on that.


3rd

History


History is the past that you NEED to discover for yourself, it's like reading a really long book about the creation of the world, if you dont know your past then what can be said about the future, past has a knack for repeating itself, and if you dont learn, you'll not be able to help what's happening around you.


4th

Literature

Literature is, I guess, the way you say things, and the study thereof, or maybe books that are literature. Books are what we study out of, so if we don't have literature then we can't learn to the full extent as much as we can. So in this way of looking at things, literature is a need in our current society to better our education. That is my definite definition of it in my opinion.
