Discussion question response 21
I haven’t really haven’t had to persuade anyone to do something recently. But there was one “debate” I had with my mom about a philosophical statement. If tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? Me being a “nerd” I went with the point of view that if two dense objects like a tree and the ground collide in a medium like air they will make a sound but my mom on the other hand did not. She still maintains that a sound is something a person hears and nothing more. I tried to convince her using logic and the science but my mom being very stubborn had none of it.

Hi Fish,
ReplyDeletehahah I can see what you mean between you and your mom. I always have trouble trying to convince my parents to believing what I'm trying to say but they always have something to say back and that would shut me up. I guess they convince me easily or I just give up because there's really no point. Anyways, that's a type of persuasion too and I would say it is a "debate" but between you and your mom. Next time make it happen lol.
