Sloth

Topic:

Sloth is essentially apathy. This can be a mental or emotional quality as well as physical. In this sense, sloth isn’t just laziness of body, but laziness of thought or feeling as well. Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas is on to something when he writes, “Sloth is a kind of sadness, whereby a man becomes sluggish..." As fun as it can be to be lazy, sloth begins from a downcast disposition or attitude, a sort of “sadness” we can call apathy or ambivalence. The word sloth comes from the Greek word for “carelessness,” and that's exactly what sloth is—not caring. (source: www.theresurgance.com)

Do you agree or disagree with the statement above? Explain with examples from 2011.

What we'll do on this blog

Hello,
This blog will be used to share ideas about topics we do not have time to cover in the classroom. Throughout the year I will assign articles/essays to read and then everyone will visit this blog to share their views on the given reading. Remember everyone must be respectful when commenting and posting ideas. Inappropriate posts will be deleted and that student will not receive credit. Also, use your real name, not a screen name, when posting. I cannot give credit to SoxFan91, understand. I will delete all posts that use screen names.
