Ontario Ethics Bowl

[Altay Coskun]

Dear Colleagues


If you should be able to afford a few hours on Sat., Feb. 4, 2023, you may want to consider your participation as a judge at the next Ontario Ethics Bowl. This is one of the most exciting outreach events I had the pleasure to be part of over the last years.

This round, some 600 high school students are enrolled to compete in 100 teams. The distinctive feature of the OEB is that high school students are pushed to explore a dilemma from multiple sides, discuss it first within their own group, and then either present a balanced proposal of how to approach the problem or criticize constructively the proposal of the competing team. Students work hard through the year to prepare for this contest and learn for their lives. They may be the best advocates for maintaining our democratic culture open, respectful, and fact-oriented in the future.

New on Think-Centrist:

After Samuel<https://www.altaycoskun.com/samuel> has explored the pitfalls of autocratic rule in his hidden clay tablets, newly discovered letters take us to the Roman civil war. They confront us with one of Caesar’s murderers<http://www.altaycoskun.com/an-unheard-voice-from-rome>, who is torn between ambition, honor, and guilt (# 1), and with Cicero's encouragement to seize the moment when you are called on to lead (# 2).
