Summer School PM Blog Post 3

First students were asked: Do you believe ideas can change the world? Why or why not?
And then they were asked:From what we have learned in class, has there been anything that supports your opinion? If so, please explain.

"Of course, without an ideas nothing will ever be done, and if nothing is ever done there is no change. Yes, the enlightenment period, during this period many philosophers shared new ideas on government and ultimately shaped our present." Michael

"I do not believe that thoughts themselves can change the world I only believe that thoughts can change the world when and if they are turned into action. So far from what I have learned is that thoughts can change the world by changing the way people think but not necessarily physically changing the world." Mateo A.

"I believe ideas have the potential to be influential enough to change the world Take the existence of the philosophers we went over today their ideas were influential to people later on such as Aristotle influencing and teaching Alexander The Great. Teachers and instructors who have authority over big groups that are willing to listen and take in their ideas. This influence can lead to new ideas and maybe even a movement that can turn out to something big and make a change" Lauryn

"Yes, I believe ideas can change the world because, for example, Isaac newton created Calculus and although today we use it for many things, back then it had push back because it wasn't traditional mathematics. So indeed, ideas do change the world. Yes, we can see this during the French rev. when people threw out the monarchs for their greediness. The French rev., like any other action, starts off as an idea." Paul

"I do believe that ideas can change the world and sometimes it could be for good or bad but it is up to the person is wiling to commit to it. The french rev. the people were strongly angry at there king and queen and revolted against them in the end killing them." Brandon

NOTE FROM MRS. BYARS: My PM session is really shy and has requested to not have their videos shown.
