Socratic Seminar on " The Right to Your Opinion"

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change." - Albert Einstein 

After I read "The Right to Your Opinion" I was still some what sketchy about the whole thing. I didn't understand entirely what the author was trying to prove and disprove but by the end of the Socratic Seminar, I agreed with the author and understood what she meant by not having a right to our own opinions and also agreed with Connor Patzman in some of the points he made. Overall though, I think we are not entitled to our opinion. We have opinions and the author never said that having opinions was a bad thing, to have a closed mind is the bad part. Being able to intake new information and accept it into one's opinion is a good trait to have. The secret to it is knowing what information to add and which to omit but do not omit information just because it proves you wrong, you should do it when the information is not credible and doesn't have evidence to back it up. In the end, an open mind is a valuable asset to your education.
