Hey! Great show today. I'm studying to become a teacher and I hope to integrate creativity into my lesson plans all the time. Also, too bad the tuition for the Blue Man school is about 27,000 dollars! Anyway, being a university student can be very hard in a variety of aspects so I hope that when I'm a teacher, I don't forget what being a student and learning new things is like. Thanks everyone for your time and effort in making this show! What you guys are doing is awesome and I give you all props for speaking your mind and telling your personal stories. Great job :) I'll hopefully be tuning in next week (if I don't have a ton of homework) and hope to call in to the show soon! Thanks again, godspeed on your journey through the dimensions of philosophy and ethics! ~Anna Spencer

Ethics Talk: Philosophy, Flourishing and The Good Life  

Socrates said that talking about virtue and the good life is one of the most important things a human being can do. That's where "Ethics-Talk" fits in. Housed in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Central Michigan University (CMU), The Center for Professional and Personal Ethics brings you discussions about ethical issues, both pure and applied. For us at EthicsTalk -- "ethics" is broad and encompasses things that affect a human being's flourishing. To that end, students working with the Center discuss ethics-related topics such as academic integrity, intrinsic motivation, procrastination, and cultivating self-regulation and other powerful habits. Additionally, we discuss study and motivational strategies related to intimidating endeavors such as studying for the bar exam. We are also very interested in how technology can either promote or hinder flourishing and discuss "media ecology" issues including the thought of Walter Ong and the concept of "digital virtue". In addition to our student produced show, scholars, authors and practitioners (such as Michael Strong, Anya Kamenetz, Lindsay Hyde and Thomas Farrell) discuss ethics related issues with the Center's Director. To learn more about the Center, visit us at http://ethics.cmich.edu and follow us on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/ethicstalk. IMPORTANT NOTE: because of a defect in blogtalkradio's feed, only the last 30 shows are displayed in this itunes feed. So we set up ANOTHER itunes feed which has the complete archives. Our first show aired on 1/22/09, and continued each week thereafter. There are some great older shows and if you want our COMPLETE archives, go to itunes and look for the hedgehog. Just type in "Ethics Talk" in the search field in itunes and click on the hedgehog. Oh, and we like the hedgehog for the same reason that Jim Collins does.

Show Notes

Housed in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Central Michigan University, The Center for Professional and Personal Ethics brings you discussions about ethical issues, both pure and applied. Ethics Talk is a weekly internet radio broadcast run by college students working with the Center for Professional and Personal Ethics at Central Michigan University. We focus on ethics related issues that affect college students. And by "ethics" we mean "ethics" in the sense that the ancient Greeks understood the word: i.e., of or pertaining to the good life or eudaimonia. We are all searching for it, right ? An "ethical issue," we believe, is any issue that can help us to realize our own flourishing, eudaimonia, enlightenment etc. So we talk about all kinds of ethical issues, including education, depression, motivation, procrastination, etc. Each week we incorporate research into our discussions in order to generate an intelligent discussion about stuff that matters. So check us out! And if you have an idea for a show, drop us a line here or at our website: http://ethicstalk.cmich.edu.

    Learning Styles & The Theory of Multiple Intelligences

    In this show, we discuss the theory of learning style or “multiple intelligences.” Among the questions that we will explore are: Is there such a thing as a “learning style”? How many learning styles are there? How do you know which learning style you have, and how can you accommodate yourself when you are forced to learn against your own style? What is the current research saying about learning styles? What are some schools/learning environments doing to accommodate various learning styles?

    Walter Ong: Ramus, Method and the Decay of Dialogue

    This show continues the unfinished and fascinating discussion that we had with Dr. Thomas Farrell on the philosophy of Walter Ong (Check our archives, the show aired on 9/11/09). Ok, so this picture is not of Ong, but of PETRUS RAMUS. Don’t know who he is and why he matters? Listen. But here it a hint -- he was a philosopher/logician who transformed the way that logic is taught. Ramus was the subject of Ong’s masterpiece, Ramus, Method and The Decay of Dialogue. This is a hard book, but Dr. Thomas Farrell, a renowned Ong scholar who has read the book multiple times, will help us to understand some of its key lessons. In this show, we focus on Ong’s claim about how Ramus took Western Culture from a visual culture to a ‘hypervisual’ one -- thereby affecting the nature of communication and of knowledge itself. It gets better, because communication, in turn, shapes and molds consciousness or, as Dr. Farrell puts it, ‘the sensorium’. What does this have to do with ethics you might ask? A lot. Listen to one of the leading scholars on Walter Ong engage in stimulating discussion about how different modes of communication contribute to the flourishing of the individual and the species.

    VIRTUE, STUDY and ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

    In this show, we discuss the issue of academic integrity and why it matters. Why bother with studying for a class that one will “never use”? We will explain why and we will also discuss, why, in our view, cheating happens. After all, Aristotle claims that “all men by nature desire to know.” If that is true, why do “paper mills” exist? Why do students cheat? Hint: we think it has something to do with a flawed and dangerous conception of ‘success’ that looms large in the consciousness of students. In addition to discussing these issues, we will also discuss the impact of the internet on education, including the growth of such sites as myedu.com and koofers.com which allow students access to professors’ grade distribution reports. Some fear that this will motivate students to shop for ‘easy’ classes, while others claim that this helps students to avoid notoriously ‘unfair teachers’. Join us for a stimulating discussion about something that matters to all of us and to future generations: education.

    The Technologizing of the Word: The Philosophy of Walter Ong, S.J.

    In this show, we discuss the fascinating and profound ideas of Walter Ong, S.J. with Dr. Thomas J. Farrell, a renowned Ong scholar. Author of numerous articles on Ong as well as the critically acclaimed, Walter Ong’s Contributions to Cultural Studies: The Phenomenology of the Word and I-Thou Communication, Dr. Farrell will discuss Ong's philosophy about the relationship amongst the spoken word (primary orality), the written word (literacy) and technology (secondary orality). We will introduce the listener to some of the ideas of Ong, and will demonstrate their poignancy and relevancy as the internet evolves into Web 3.0 -- and arguably into a new (tertiary) form of orality and the spoken word.

    The Splendor of Solitude

    Solitude can be a very frightening thing to some people. Many people feel lost or lonely when they are left without companionship, even if it’s only for a brief period of time. In tonight’s show we’ll be discussing some of the possible reasons for this fear as well as ways one can find enjoyment out of their solitude. There are several things people can do to make their alone time meaningful to them; the key is finding out what those things are for the individual. In this show, we discuss not only discuss ways to make solitude more meaningful, but also argue that solitude is essential for a truly meaningful life.
