    1. banality of evil

      Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil is a 1963 book by political theorist Hannah Arendt.

      Arendt's subtitle famously introduced the phrase "the banality of evil". In part the phrase refers to Eichmann's deportment at the trial as the man displayed neither guilt for his actions nor hatred for those trying him, claiming he bore no responsibility because he was simply "doing his job" ("He did his ‘duty'...; he not only obeyed 'orders', he also obeyed the 'law'."p. 135).

    1. You all know the truth of what I'm going to say. I think the intuition that inequality is divisive and socially corrosive has been around since before the French Revolution. What's changed is we now can look at the evidence, we can compare societies, more and less equal societies, and see what inequality does. I'm going to take you through that data and then explain why the links I'm going to be showing you exist.

    1. It's a terribly untrue stereotype. My experience is that the people who work in women's health facilities where abortions are performed are so compassionate. Think about what it takes to work there daily. They have to walk through protesters and picket lines; they have to be committed to what they do. They are passionate in their convictions.I worked for 22 years for Planned Parenthood affiliates and have seen how people are dedicated to making women feel comfortable.

    2. There's a friend of mine, Carol Cassell, who's a leading sex education expert. She wrote a book called Swept Away and its premise is that you can justify your behavior if you were 'swept away,' but you can't justify planning to have sex. We are uncomfortable with sexuality and that's why unplanned pregnancies occur.Other countries have much lower rates of teen pregnancy and abortion even though they have as much sex as we do. We need to examine our attitudes toward sex and address them.

      Group 10

    3. The film also shows a disassociation of the person from the sexual behavior. The characters are detached from what happened. My guess is that it has more to do with our culture's inability to deal with sexuality. They couldn't have told the story if it had been a more complex situation.Similarly, the parents were also detached from the situation and their comments about Juno's pregnancy were disengaged from reality.

      Group 9

    4. I'd like to to talk to her about it. She may have been edited and her screenplay changed, but her own words indicate she hadn't necessarily thought through what the impact of her words would be.In this film, the storyline had to be that Juno had sex once and that it wasn't an ongoing relationship. The problem is that this isn't a common situation. Though this does happen, in truth most young people ease into sexual relationships over time and it puts them at risk of pregnancy.

      Group 8

    5. It would be amusing if it weren't so distressing that a woman whose profession has been in the sex trade would express this in her writing. I have two thoughts about this:The first is "Good for her that she has the talent to write a commercially successful film."The second is that we all have social responsibility for what we communicate through our words. And as a former stripper, of all people she should understand our society's retrograde attitudes toward women and sex.

      Group 7

    6. As the former President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Gloria Feldt has fought for many years on the front lines of choice. She was a teen mother at sixteen, and later returned to school to earn a degree and work on behalf of women's reproductive rights.

      Group 5

    7. They're also very judgmental of their friends who become pregnant. Many see Juno as heroic for carrying out of her pregnancy. The real issues surrounding pregnancy isn't discussed in the film Knocked Up either. In Hollywood it's verboten.

      Group 4

    8. I've been astonished how many older teens and women in their twenties thought the film was wonderful. Some of the messages that are so negative went right over their heads. They grow up today in a different context. They've never lived in a country without choice. They don't know that before abortion was legalized, unintended pregnancy was essentially the end of your life as you have known it, regardless of the option you choose.

      Group 3

    9. An adolescent girl doesn't have a lot of power, but one of the ways that she can demonstrate her power is through her sexuality. The power of her sexuality is one of the few things she holds over the adults in her life. Whatever her needs are, the use of sexuality and becoming pregnant is still the same - it hasn't changed since the 50s.

      Group 2

    10. The dialogue is adorable - snappy, smart, funny, captivating - and who wouldn't enjoy that? But I was Juno once - that sixteen year old pregnant girl, and life isn't like that at all. It delivers messages to young women that arent' realistic. Juno is an adorable fantasy - I think that when you're 16 years old you don't understand that, but when you're 50 years old you do.

    1. There are several reasons this statement is too broad to argue. First, what is included in the category "drugs"? Is the author talking about illegal drug use, recreational drug use (which might include alcohol and cigarettes), or all uses of medication in general? Second, in what ways are drugs detrimental? Is drug use causing deaths (and is the author equating deaths from overdoses and deaths from drug related violence)? Is drug use changing the moral climate or causing the economy to decline? Finally, what does the author mean by "society"? Is the author referring only to America or to the global population? Does the author make any distinction between the effects on children and adults? There are just too many questions that the claim leaves open. The author could not cover all of the topics listed above, yet the generality of the claim leaves all of these possibilities open to debate.
