Please post a thoughtful paragraph of no more than 300 words.

The parrhesiastes speaks truth to power candidly and straightforwardly, but how do we know what truth is? That is a big question and one that is very hard to answer. Perhaps let’s consider this instead: in a world where we have more and more evidence of conflicting truths, of beliefs in alternative realities, how does the parrhesiastes or the protestor articulate their belief in a way that conveys genuine conviction that what they speak is truth?

Consider how social media is used to share messages of protest. How should language be used in a way that avoids creating empty catchphrases? Why do some protest slogans remain meaningful and powerful and other don’t? Is social media a productive vehicle of speaking truth to power? Do you know of any examples? Are there instances where such protest is a true act of parrhesia? Do you know of any examples? Are some media better suited to protest than others? (eg. Instagram vs. Twitter). Does the most powerful truth-telling inevitably involve some kind of physical act?

Reflect on these prompts and the lecture material and your own critical insight and develop a response that engages one or more of these prompts, but be sure to engage the question above: how does the parrhesiastes or the protestor articulate their belief in a way that conveys genuine conviction that what they speak is truth?

If you like, you can share examples from social media.
