The Socrastic Method

  I think the Socrastic Method is very useful and something really good something that would be worth trying in class or to use in our daily bases. I have used this method while questioning people who believe in White Supremacy for example I used this method on a person I know for his own privacy reasons well call him Bob just because its a basic name. I asked Bob what made him believe in this idea now, I only said idea I could've asked why do you believe in this outrages idea. That would of made him give me a argument not a response. I followed up the questioning by saying I was hear to try to see his view not try to say he was wrong I was just there to understand him. He answered I was raised with that idea and I said so you let others decide what YOU SHOULD think not WHAT YOU REALLY THOUGHT. This questioned seemed to startle him he said that he believed it truly. Right back I decide to question his feelings towards me after knowing me for a couple of years. He tried to break the questions be using the we all have our own freedom of believe. But I questioned him to add to what he meant as his believed. Anyways, towards the end he seemed to be questioning his own believes I recall him looking at his Confederate flag and shaking his head than looking at me  and looking at the flag once more. Not only is the Sorcastic method a really good way to interview a person but to also help people truly understand what they want and how they feel.
