Ethics Bowl shows what is missing in political discourse

Ethics Bowl shows what is missing in political discourse March 3, 2021 “We look forward to hearing what you have to enrich the discussion,” said one student to an opponent at the second annual Ethics Bowl Feb. 27 in discussing whether or not pardoning criminals gave justice to the victims. “I’m excited to hear what team B has to say,” said another young competitor with a smile. Such pleasantries with the opposing team is not traditional competitive etiquette, even in debate, but it is the norm at the Ontario High School Ethics Bowl, and is in fact encouraged, said Jeffrey Senese, president of the Ontario High School Ethics Bowl hosted by the University of Toronto Philosophy Department.

What it s like to attend university during Covid

For many people, first-year university is an intense rush of new experiences: the unruly dorm parties, the late-night library sessions, the frosh week chicanery. But this fall’s incoming students the Covid class will remember a very different freshman year. Meeting classmates on WhatsApp and Discord instead of in common rooms and at keggers. Attending classes from childhood bedrooms instead of in neoclassical lecture halls. Doing just about everything lab work, exams, clubs, student politics on Zoom or Quercus or Piazza or any number of other online platforms. To get a sense of what it’s like, we canvassed six dewy-eyed new students about how the whole university thing is going. Some kids who’d hoped to get a taste of independence are still at home with their parents. Others have moved into single-occupancy dorm rooms or downtown condos to approximate some semblance of the real thing. The one thing they can all agree on? Weirdest. Year. Ever.
