During the Socratic seminar I have gained much knowledge. First, I realized that some of my classmates and I were actually growing up since they could peacefully participate actively and 
give interesting ideas and later defend their ideas. However, the support of the teacher was a bit handy since he directed the seminar to be able to hear different ideas from different people. The teacher also used our ideas to concretize them to make further analysis and use our ideas to relate to real life and go beyond surface. The seminar was handled in a peaceful and respectful way, the ideas of each group were taken into consideration and the groups shared their point of view on each person’s idea rather than arguing and making contradictions. This method had more benefit because it helped the students understand what the real problems were and it didn’t hurt people.
No one dominated the conversation however; every group was assigned a question that they
really had to investigate on, these groups had more to saw on a specific question but everyone contributed and followed turns to talk and follow up on what the previous person said to add on what he said or to share his point of view on the question or to tell his feedback or opinion. The groups help make the comments clear in other words reformulate them for the whole seminar to understand.
I had many evidence of people building on other people comments or making links to daily life such as Hussam when he blamed drug dealers and prostitutes from doing these jobs and their reason was that they had no economic opportunity like Thailand and other poor countries.
After having answered my questions with my group I had given them my point of view on the
question, “How to bring about change…deliberately or quickly?” I had answered that they should make the change quickly to stop having economic problems, however Yasmin A changed my point of view and convinced me to choose deliberately since the change has to take time for the citizens to adapt and not make the country in rush to avoid chaos
Overall the seminar went well the good parts were that everyone could share his point of view without being interrupted or judged whether it was right or wrong, on the other hand students were disrupting the class until the teacher had to react in order to keep peace and in the seminar and avoid too much outside talk.
