If it makes you feel better, I had a debate a couple minutes ago that I did not prepare at all. I believe in you!

I wrote my first one about the value of being acknowledged and represented in class, which is an experience I don’t get at my school and one that Barnard really has. I also wrote about the close connection to faculty with the Barnard Degree and what that means to me. For my Bold Question, I wrote about trying to understand the balance of freedom and equality in society if one is valued more than the other. I tried to put that into my own terms in studying political philosophy to create a better system for the country. And for my woman, I chose Hannah Arendt who was a political philosopher after WW2.
