On the Bigthink website, I chose the topic of justice and listened to an "expert" talk about this important issue. After hearing about what Kenneth Roth had to say about justice, I was rather dissapointed. This so called "expert" did not really tell me what justice is, he merely compared it to the respect for individual rights. In fact throughout the whole video, Kenneth hardly even talked about justice. In the begining of the video, he mentionned justice but then he simply drifted away from the topic to talk about the different kinds of respect for individual rights.
In truth, I do not find this video helpful at all but instead rather pointless. I wanted to learn about the meaning of justice and how it can be applied but instead I learn about rights of individuals. I really think they should change the title of the topic to "Justice and the Respect for Rights" instead of having the title be "What is justice?" I personally do not have anything against Kenneth and what he is saying but I would be more appreciative of his video if he not drifted from the topic.
I believe the idea of Bigthink.com is unique since it is trying to bring intelligence and interesting conversations on the internet. Sadly, I don't think many people will really go on this site to learn and discuss situations with other people. There are just far more better things to do then log on the site and listen to some random people speak their minds. I think the concept of the website is good however over websites like youtube and google, information can be found more faster and more reliable.
