The Death of Common Sense
The idea of playing with ideas, that they're not personal, is a very important skill. There's an increasing sense among young people like in discussions or discussions on twitter and other social media sites about the danger of their ideas. Write an essay about why you think it's right; practice taking both sides into account before making your case. This was John Stuart miller's point: As he said, who knows only his own side of the story? And we don't expose ourselves to ridicule for being wrong. We really need to give people time to learn how to exercise common sense.
