Government Censorship VS. Parental Censorship: Is it Different?
What should be censored and why? Should anything be kept hidden? Who's in charge of hiding things from us? Are you doing the same thing when it comes to your kids? Is that a good thing? We use Plato's Republic as a launching point to dive in to the hot topic of censorship.Starting with government censorship and media censorship, we then explore censorship surrounding kids. Is there a difference? Who is allowed to influence our children and how much control over this should parents have?Thanks for listening!

Is Socializing Your Kids...a Good Thing?
Humans are “social creatures” — but are there times when socialization can be a bad thing? How much socialization do we *actually* need, and how much (and what type) should our children be exposed to?We start off by looking at two opposing philosophical viewpoints on this subject from Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Hobbes. Then we get into politics, public education, how "de-socializing" changed our own worldviews, overbearing high school administrators, inappropriate spankings, & our thoughts on parenting in today’s world.Thanks for listening!
