Seems kids can throw heavy objects, hit and swear at others, go to the office, have a snack and be sent back without any talk of suspension any more.
Do your schools still suspend kids? In school? Out of school? Or is violence now just acceptable behaviour in schools? What is the criteria for a school suspension?
When speaking of the tenants of what is good, true and beautiful, the first two concepts make much sense to me, and are usually the main source of discussion in philosophical videos. We are all seeking what is true in the efforts of having a good world for ourselves and others. We don’t always agree, but I think we agree that those values are a fundamental part of what drives humanity.
Now beauty we all agree is part of humanity as well. But where I struggle is whether it always an intrinsic positive. Beauty is used in marketing, it used in seduction, it can capture us, and at least for me, it can make me stray from myself. The opposite is true, something beautiful can also invigorate and refresh me and remind me life is more than work and toil.
I feel my philosophical grasp of the concept of beauty is light, so I’d really enjoy any videos or resources to read on the subject. Any discussion here is welcome.
