Soratic Questioning Paper
Everything Happens for a Reason
Soratic questioning was named after Socrates, the early Greek
philosopher/teacher, a Socratic approach to teaching. Socrates was one of the greatest
educators who taught by asking questions and drawing out answers from his students. I
interviewed my cousin Morgan. I asked her what is one thing that she truly deeply
believed in. She believes that everything happens for a reason. We talked for about
fifteen minuets on this topic. Morgan is twenty one years old and according to all her life
experiences everything has happened for a reason.
When I asked Morgan why she believed that everything happened for a reason
she responded. “Everything in my life bad or good has always shone me a reason
afterwards.” I asked “ Can you give me an example?” Morgan answered “Me and my ex
had a perfect relationship. He broke up with me for no reason. Come to find out he was
cheating on me the whole time. If I had never been through that horrible time in my life
I wouldn’t be the girl I am today. I would have never met my new boyfriend who I’m
head over heels for.” “When my ex cheated is when I realized everything happens for a
reason.” I said “Is there any other non-personal examples that makes you believe that
everything happens for a reason?” She said “ Take the story about the three year old boy
who died from e coil. He ate a cheeseburger from a Jack in the Box and died twelve days
later. I think the reason behind this was so that millions of other people could be aware
of food safety and be saved. The little boy’s mom is trying to change sanitation laws to
save people. Kevin died so others could fight for food safety laws and live.” Then I asked
“How does everything happen for a reason? Is it like fate? Or destiny?” Morgan’s answer
“Like fate, because God wants it to happen like that.” Next
