Socrates is a role model of mine. I try to be an open-minded person but I have strong beliefs (not opinions) on many subjects. I will argue discuss politics or religion with anyone who will put up with me. I try to find all the available information before forming an opinion, and will continue to seek information in order to validate my belief. I try to fill my mind with as much information and knowledge as possible by reading whatever I can on any subject that won’t bore me to tears. I try to look at both sides of an issue. I believe that “the mark of an intelligent minds is the ability to entertain an idea without embracing it.” Not only will I debate with people sharing a differing point of view, but I will oftentimes play the devil’s advocate, arguing for the opposing in order to make people think, and to encourage them to put their own ideas and beliefs to the test.
