the examined life
I feel we have accomplished a lot in Human Geography so far this week. We have studied what might be called the history of excellence, asking these questions: How did the ancient Greeks (especially Socrates) demonstrate excellence? How did Elbert Hubbard define excellence? How do we incorporate excellence into our John Carroll lives?
Next class, we will explore one of Socrates' most famous and evocative quotes - words he lived (and died) by. We will also review this unit's material in advance of a 100-point test on Tuesday for both the regular section and the honors section. I recommend you look over your notes, the Hubbard essay, and the Excellence slide show over the weekend to keep the material fresh in your minds in preparation for our first test of the quarter.
