Spin

Can you think of any incidences of spin in journalism (all media) or politics recently?
After you cite your example(s),
analyze why the author believed it necessary
to shift the perspective of the audience.

These responses should deal with purpose/exigence in some way.

Concrete vs. Abstract Reality

Before we make a comment here,
we'll remember to realize that philosophy is the study of thought.
Thoughts, ideas, notions (all abstract) have impact on others (influence!),
and our way of thinking
is never the only way of thinking (paradigm, perspective)
and is seldom the best.

Do we not grow from the knowledge and experience of others?
What do you think about these concepts?
How do you feel you or others enact them in life?

Be sure to keep an open mind!
