This is my response to John Green.

I think he's spot on. Our values inform our opinions, and because we seem to be defined by our opinions, we cling really tightly to them. However, as far as we can tell, one opinion isn't RIGHT compared to another's. None of us are really experts on the things we have opinions on most of the time.

You should still have values and opinions, but I don't think anyone of us should think that our particular values and opinions trump everyone else's.

As Socrates put it:

"I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know."

Admitting that we don't know it all is the first step to becoming more wise. 

What do you think?

We're healthy and we know it!

Sophomores!

Please follow this link to Tom Romano's website and on the left side of the page navigate to the Multigenre Papers tab. Here you will find many excellent examples of multigenre papers!

This should help spark some ideas as well as clarify what the end product should resemble!

Have fun!!
