Starter #48:
Review the article we read yesterday ("I don't want to be Right") and journal on any of the following seminar discussion questions for the next 10 minutes:

• Describe the research question Professor Brendan Nyhan sought to answer with his 2014 Vaccine study
• What do the results from this study reveal about people and their beliefs?
• Why do you think people's ideologies are so tied up to their identity and self-worth?
• What beliefs do you hold that when challenged make you defensive and might be tied to your identity?
• How does this affect your perspective on our Morality and Politics of Justice Project (your own political issue opinion, trying to persuade other people, our coffee house exhibition, etc...)
• How might this article affect how you seek information and form opinions in the future?
• How does this article relate to our starter quote? If you are always seeking truth, do you never take a stand? Are you therefore identity-less?
