Chapter 1 Reflection Questions

1) If we look at movies from Plato's point of view, we would be critical of movies and different forms of art, and we would not be influenced by movies. However if we follow Aristotle's believe, we would most likely appreciate all art, and we would be less likely to filter out any wrong messages presented by the media

2) Paul would use arguments of Greek philosophers to explain Christianity to pagans and non-Christians. It was the way he conveyed the message of Christ that convinced the people to convert, instead of of stating the facts and hoping the people would be convinced.

3) Although a lot of movies are considered to be "good", a lot of these good movies might send out bad messages. Before watching a movie, I think it would be best to look up reviews, or a synopsis of the movie, to understand what values would be presented in the movie. If we already know that it might contains offensive content, then we should not watch it
