Extent Of Ignorance

In our world fear roams everywhere. In our streets, businesses, schools, and homes. Fear has caused wars, and treaties. Fear can cause people to start something amazing or horrific. People can change because of fear of a thing.

Courage is an important quality to have, because everyone can’t always be afraid of everything and let their fears hold them back. Sometimes people have to do things that they don’t want to do, or they have to face their fears.

making people aware of what influence fear can have on reason is an essential step

Fear can come anytime in the silence of the night or in the bright glare of the day. Fear cannot be conquered. We

Christopher Paolini once said, “Without fear there cannot be courage” Fear is what drives us

    Have you ever been intimidated by fear? Fear is in our everyday lives. We tend to let fear control us and how we live our lives. For example, The Salem Witch Trials, which caused over hundreds of people to lose their lives just because they were accused of being witches, along with the Nazi Party and Hitler, who had control over millions of people and killed thousands because they were jewish.

One’s intelligence cannot simply be measured based on his or her educational background. Intellect is spawned from within based on an individual’s experience and desire for additional knowledge. In the article, "Blue-Collar Brilliance", Mike rose contends the egocentric notion regarding what makes an individual intelligent; western civilization has drug on their fascistic opinions since earlier times. Everything including one 's intellectual capabilities has been measured by a hierarchy designed by the white man in order to oppress non-white civilization. Our intellectual capacity is bigger than a formal education; Intelligence that is acquired outside of the classroom is commensurate to those who have solemn educations.

After reading Hidden Intellectualism by Gerald Graff, I have learned, a lot of key points. Graff has brought up a lot of great factors that contribute to the topic of Intellectualism, one especially between, book smarts and street smarts. Graff criticizes people who think those who are street smarts are not intellectual. He believed any person can make any conversation into an intelligent conversation. I agreed with the fact that people who are street smart are judged unfairly just because they are not interested in academic work.

The general argument made by Gerald Graff in his essay “Hidden Intellectualism” is that, All people are intellectual but that intellectual side is hidden, People’s intellectual side usually emerge when they focus on things they are inquisitive in, maybe in academics or in sports as long as the person doing it is really passionate about it. More specifically, Graff argues that students in school should choose the subject that they believe will assist them and applicable to their skills because once they are force to study subject that is not relevant to what they want or they are not really interested in, they will just attend their class for a whole year without learning anything about it. That is because they are not willing to do it, their intellectual capacity will remain hidden for a long period of time. In addition the author writes, that “It was in these discussion with friends about toughness and sports, I think, and in my reading of sports books and magazine that I began to learn the rudiments of intellectual life”. This passage means that intellectual potential is not only gain by academic people, anyone can aquire it as long

These are all words that come to people's minds when they hear the word “ego”. In spite of what? Egoists are genuinely success makers, risk takers, and go-getters who aren’t afraid of being portrayed as just that. Egotistic individuals carry original ideas that solely belong to them and aren’t inspired or forced by anyone else. So instead, respect and appreciate the word “ego”. Find it within yourself and come to love it just as Prometheus does throughout his journey of self realization. Society blooms with egotistical people as every individual shows their uniqueness and ideas in different ways and for different reasons. Ego is a person's strength, inner desire, and drive to succeed in life both outwardly and

.The way to show ignorance to think you fully know a person on what he or she is going to do. Just like Paris he thinks he knows Mr.Putnam well saying he wouldn’t do anything harm him. Which is ignorant of him thinking he knows a person based on because he thinks he's right.Thinking that Mr.Punam is not going to leap on to witchcraft Paris thinks he right. Cause he say that he's the least person do anything bad to him. Cause he’s more concerned about not getting kick out since he know one family member is corrupting his name So he tries to beg since he’s a about and if weren’t a family member corrupt he wouldn't be in a mess.

The roots of fear can be very harmful to humanity because it teaches us to avoid unlikely scenarios, endorses society to be ignorant, and keeps individuals from achieving their dreams. Fear advocates many people to be afraid of rare situations that are highly unlikely to happen. In the article, “What Are You So Afraid Of?” by Akiko Busch, She states, “It could

When egoism is too strong, the person who is so egotistical can become rude, arrogant, and pompous. This can happen because the egoist can become so engrossed in his/her own work and achievements that he/she doesn’t recognize or acknowledge that of others. However, in moderation, egoism can be fantastically useful for thinking about and developing new things. In Roark’s speech, The Soul of an Individualist, Roark states that “No creator was prompted by a desire to serve his brothers, for his brothers rejected the gift he offered and that gift destroyed the slothful routine of their lives. His truth was his only motive.”

Intellectual Courage Is defined as one’s consciousness of the need to face and fairly address ideas, beliefs or viewpoints. I will attempt to implement this trait in my life to not have strong negative emotions and not give into it. This intellectual courage will maximize my recognition to ideas that may be considered dangerous and misleading. In addition, I will be able to determine for myself which is which decision is passive and uncritical in life situations. In fact, intellectual courage comes into play to better my life to see some truth in some ideas that are considered absurd and false in someone else’s or social groups conversation' strongly held in our and my life in order to. Overall, intellectual

Socrates, in skepticism, began a search for those with a reputation of wisdom. After studying men and their knowledge, he reasoned that the only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing. Although one may have extensive understanding in one area, there is way too much knowledge in the world to be contained by one man. Socrates stated, “I found that the men most in repute were all but the most foolish, and that some inferior men were really wiser and better” (Plato, 23). Those who believed that they knew it all could not be more ignorant, and those who admitted ignorance achieved the highest wisdom attainable on earth. Socrates accepted the idea that he, just like all men, contained very little or no wisdom at all. He was content with knowing this, and upon meeting others that lacked this philosophy, felt he was superior to them. He was unsure of the limitations the afterlife had on wisdom, but he was aware of it’s constraints on earth. This self awareness is what gifted him with the highest sense of enlightenment.
