In Class: Chapter 4

I didn't necessarily have any problems understanding the material but I did find something to be interesting that it should be used as a logical argument. The idea of tradition in the book as an argument of logos or as the book says, "we have always done it that way," was something that I related to a topic discussed recently in my social psychology class.

In that class there was a study done where people were told information and were told to form rationale for why this might be true. When told much later that this was misinformation used only for the study, much later people were found to still be holding the ideas because they had become accustomed to thinking this way.

Additionally, this could be something that is strange to others or even flat out wrong. The fact that it is just something that is done with whoever you are talking about is something that is not easily argued against. The deep seeded clenching to tradition is something many people have of different things an could be a subject that they are unwilling to budge on.
