Surprisingly the readings where quite interesting. I enjoyed reading about how there isn't really a big difference when it comes to what one is learinging in high school and college because that is what society is made to believe. It was a bit confusing when I got to the section about beliefs and how you may believe one thing and then you change your belief because someone who holds authority tells you different but as I continued to read on I started to understand the concepts behind beliefs and why we believe what we believe. I also found it interesting how the readings mentioned how we focus too much on fast knowledge when in the end slow knowledge is better.
i didnt agree with one point that Spayde made in his article about there not being a divide in american life more than people that are considered well eduacated and poorly educated. being consdered rich or poor is much harder to deal with than someone being smarter than you. Crono's aritcle was my favorite out of all of them. almost all of the qualities he posted were ones that i agreed with to too. qualites that some people forget about or take for granted. Qualities such as lsitening, hearing, talking to anyone, are some examples.
The readings were very thought provoking. They were something we can relate to as students. When i was reading the difference between high school and college I found myself being able to easily relate. As a student i came into college thinking that it was going to be hard and i would not be able to handle it. When i got here i realized there are many sources around the school available to us as students to help us succeed. When i first went through the schedule of classes i realized that many of the courses were specific. In the paper The difference between high school and college it says that many freshman going in to college think that the courses are harder because they are more specific to detail. I enjoyed this paper very much because it shows that as students our thoughts are not alone.
I appreciated the readings. It showed me that learning at different levels are not different from each other but that they go hand and hand. Also how society has made us believe that there is not a substantial distinction between the high school and college.I agree that as students we tend to believe the opinions of a person in authority role because we start believing their beliefs because there are in a higher position.I was able to really comprehend and understand the readings. I could relate as a students because I believed that college would be very different from highschool, when higher learning is just another process of learning and growing.
I liked the article about "the difference between high school and college." As mentioned in the article, students just entering college always think that the difference between high school and college is the level of difficulty. I thought so too. After reading the passage, i now understand that the difference between the two is not only the difficulty level but also the new type of intellectual work. i understand that the major difference is that in a college atmosphere, new types of intellectual work are required as compared to high school. Most of the materials presented in high school are strictly from facts and are therefore presented in an authoritative way. Most of them are unchangeable. Unlike high school, the information presented in college is controversial and are treated as conclusions that have been reached on the basis of investigations. This information is justified and can be defended.
After completing my reading I enjoyed Martin Luther King’s piece the most. He grasped my attention since the beginning where he says that education shouldn’t be used to exploit the masses just because you have a better education. I agreed with all he stated as to what education is and what it should do for someone. His closing was that the most dangerous is someone who is “gifted with reason, but no morals,” which is totally true as they can hurt a nation instead of helping it.
The readings are pretty interesting this time. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "The Purpose of Education" sums the true meaning of being educated. Being educated is not only an based on intelligence, but also on how the person utilizes their newfound knowledge. Also, in "The Difference Between High School and College," I felt that the work moved at a very quick pace and that the author was adamant to get his points across. It was a very interesting piece, and the informality made his ideas easy to comprehend.
I enjoyed the first two essays. The first essay focused on the general belief that people go to college to learn and prepare themselves for the professional life. This was a general article but I agree with what it had to say. The second article seemed to be against formal education which I disagree with but I made a point that I completely agree with. The article said that we are slow learner searching to learn the thing that we love. I find a real connection to that statement as right now I am taking as many different classes as I can just trying to find that thing that I really love.
The essays were very interesting and enjoyable to read, but were a bit hard to understand at some points. A very interesting point was when i read that high school education and college education were quite not so different. For which i strongly disagree because college education gets into deeper depth and analitical discussions. That high school never gets to reach. Also a eye cathching point was how slow knowledge is better that fast knowledge. For which i had never imagined.
I enjoyed reading the essays. It felt like I was just reading these for sake of knowing others opinions about how they percieved college, not becasue it was a homework assignment. The reading that I found the most interesting was, "The Difference Between High School and College." I liked this essay becasue the author tells it how it is. He doesn't sugar-coat it and say that college is exactly one way or another, but that it is a combination of what college is percieved to be, and that we should all experience these one time or another in our college career.
Each reading had an aspect of using one's education to improve the community on a local and world-wide scale. The last essay was the most inspiring; it used HIV/AIDS as a current issue that intellectuals, doctors and social workers alike, can improve through their learned compassion, empathy, and social expertise. The liberally educated have the benefit of being well-rounded since the world itself is varied and ever-changing with problems to be solved. To improve the world, these essays emphasize the improvement of self-education to better understand current world issues. Also, learning from the past can improve the present, where following social trends can benefit today’s society. I enjoyed reading how my education can take part in a broader scale of helping people, I’ll try my best to make a difference.
