Voices

I found that while most of the philosophies seemed reasonable I never could commit myself to a single one. Though even the philosophies that stood out as poorly conceived had at least one or two valid points that could be used to develop a solid teaching philosophy. Which is what I mostly found myself doing, disagreeing with quite a few things and cherry picking from them a brief piece or two that I agreed with. While Confucius and a passage about Native American philosophy were included in the Voices article I was a little surprised by just how Eurocentric the entire piece was. The Native American piece stuck me as more than a little strange where they reduced numerous cultural groups and peoples who lived vastly different lives into a single blanket teaching philosophy seemed more than a little but sloppy.
