Today we held a Socratic seminar on the topic of "Culture of Power." Unfortunately I was not on the inner circle because I had a few points to throw out there at the time (now of course I can't remember them) but overall the inner group did a farely well job of it despite it being dominated by the usual people and again the usual people who don't talk didn't. I'm really interested in seeing a seminar this year where everyone throws out their thoughts and adds to the overall experience but oh well...
Tomorrow is my circle's time and we were reading this incredibly feminist author who was talking about how white people and men should learn to give up their power instead of equalizing the playing field. Unfortunately the text was not very long in did not go into much detail of the proposal but instead shot of a thousand examples of why being white is good. 90% of her comments were redundant and went over the same topics over and over again with small little scenario changes which bored the hell out of me when I was reading but its all good. I hope that my circle will bring up some cool points that we will be able to discuss with interest for the full time.
