@JoshRheingold Are people, in your mind, more disposed to idleness than work? Also, how are we viewing one another that we resent those we support? What is the perspectives we have toward one another? #UEDU5464Fall2020
@Bluedude588@LindseyWidstrom So, does civics feed students myths about the possibilities for change? What message should students get in civics about their participation (changing the subject, but hey, let's go where the discussion takes us). #UEDU5464Fall2020
@LindseyWidstrom@SabadellNatalia Is distribution of money related to the distribution of power in such a way that one will never change without the other? If that is the case, what are our options? #UEDU5464Fall2020
@AschSamantha It seems that the inflation question with respect to UBI might not be clearly answered yet, but I'm open to what folks have to say. #UEDU5464Fall2020
@AschSamantha Interesting question. It may increase money supply, but are there ways to mitigate that? Would other factors keep inflation in check? #UEDU5464Fall2020
@JoshRheingold Would combining it with a more progressive tax scheme change the redistribution? Would capping or phasing out UBI after reaching a certain income level address your concerns?

Can people explore just for the sake of exploring? In 100 years, what will we say about space? That we explored space? Colonized space? Fought for space dominance? Or am I being presumptuous about using the word "we" and what that means?

@ChatMawon Philosophical ???? -- Does the nature of history require a "center" or a perspective? Is it ever appropriate to center the perspective of a dominant culture, or is the challenge always to decenter the dominant because otherwise there is no room for other stories? #UEDU5464Fall
@Rayleen51497946 Do you think that it is the technical meaning of the word "exploration" that matters, or that the connotation of the word is positive (adventurous, brave, ambitious, etc.) and that may give a false sense to the history? #UEDU5464Fall2019
@cderr1234 Does historical empathy have a place in the conversation or does it ignore the realities of what happened? Is there value in recognizing the perspectives of those who went out thinking they were exploring, but who we would say were exploiting? #UEDU5464Fall2019
Welcome to our #UEDU5464Fall2019 live Twitter discussion. I look forward to your thoughts on our topic: Whether "exploration" and "explorers" are appropriate terms to use in a social studies course, or do other terms better reflect most historical events that use those terms?
