Should Boys and Girls Be Raised
the Same Way?
Developing points
of my perspective. My position: “My law will apply in all respects to
girls as much as to boys: the girls must be trained exactly like the boys…The
present practice is in our own part of the world is the merest folly; it is
pure folly that men and women do not unite to follow the same pursuits, with
all their energies.” (Plato, Laws, Book 7, Section 804). I need to answer
these questions when presenting my case:
1. Explain your reasoning.
2. In your responses…How
convincing are the arguments you’re reading? Are the arguments based on
personal testimonies, personal experiences, stories? If so, challenge them to
provide the scientific evidence to support it – or tell them their rationale is
opinionated refuge.
3. Are you relying on personal
experience or scientific evidence in your reasoning and response? Hint…rely
on scientific evidence and cite your source!
