For your initial post, pick two of the viewpoints stated in the Introduction section.

$1.$ With respect to just one of the views you chose, discuss:

How would you respond to someone expressing such a view?

How does a critical thinker respond to a viewpoint that he or she may find deeply repugnant?

$2.$ Also, look at both of the views you chose. Examine them based on these questions: Are the two viewpoints qualitatively different? Does the qualitative difference among them change the way in which you would listen to and respond to such views? Should it$?$

State if you have argued your position using inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, or both, and explain why you believe this. If inductive, point out your observations. If deductive, specify the principle, rule, or value that you have reasoned down from.
