Presentation two

Thanks for the presentation update Ollie. However mine and Emma's section of the presentation is not so much an exploration of the arguments for and against idleness, but an examination of the difference between Idleness and Laziness, through the means of a descriptive monologue. I will also work with Emma on an introduction to this sub-topic so that our section and what we intend to look at is outlined clearly to the rest of the class and to Meena. In essence, our section could be seen as a 'for' in the sense that it will, against the notion of laziness, place idleness in a good light and therefore speak for it. However we have not looked into preparing an 'against' argument. This may come naturally however with your section Ollie,(?) as you described in your previous note, you will be looking at the virtue in idleness but also speak of the negative effects this action can have if consequences etc are not considered? If you need to discuss this further don't hesitate to let me know! Likewise if anybody else in the group has any queries about my introduction and monologue to laziness in relation to idleness as a virtue, give me a shout.

I shall post a response shortly to the recent notes and ideas added.
