In This Paper, I Plan To Argue The Ideas By Edward Conard,

In the summary, In Tough Times, the Humanities Must Justify Their Worth, by Patrica Cohen conveys with his or her readers that the importance of Humanities and why students are currently not taking Humanities as a major. Humanities classes are not intended for students to learn how to do their job but in order to build basic character. They are the nutrients for personal growth and participation in a free democracy, regardless of any of the careers that the student chooses. Humanities is considered by scholars that by learning it, it will tells the readers that what it truly means to be a human being. Richard M. Freeland said that even though Humanities evolved in the 20th century but universities have not pay much attention on how students

Every student is different, from how they learn to how much effort do they put in when studying. But with the right teacher guiding them to success, nothing is impossible. So, how do we motivate the future generation to succeed in school? The Perils and Promise of Praise, by Carole S. Dweck. The author focus on how to motivate students to succeed in school. From how you talk to them, motivate them to learn and rewarding them.

The primary purpose of any academic institution is to develop and prepare a young person for after his schooling years. In, “The Purpose of Schools,” Michael Peterson states the two goals of any school: to teach students who have specific skills to perform jobs, and introduce students to active citizenry (Peterson). In other words, Peterson argues how a school must prepare one for his or her future instead of preparing them for a career in sports. John Dewey writes, “Education should create an interest in all persons in furthering the general good, so

To think that because the department is low-cost, requiring only textbooks, novels, and computers for research, that it is not as important as other subjects which require high tech gear and lab equipment is not fair. In fact, even students, together with their professors have found it important enough to stage protests to “save the humanities”. We have, over the years, witnessed a movement away from

I strongly agree with Alan Wildman’s article “We ignore the liberal arts at our peril” about the significance of a liberal art degree as the liberal arts and humanities maintain a crucial role in creating an active society that inspires and advances throughout different academic fields. Graduates of humanities and liberal arts have a better understanding of cultures and history and thus it creates a more open minded society and inspires scholars in other academic fields and prevents the society from repeating previous mistakes. Moreover, the liberal arts influence is the foundation of other fields as it provides the chance of thinking more actively and thus creates more original ideas that can be applied in other careers. For instance, authors write about fascinating gadgets in their fiction novels, which inspires scientists and engineers to create these inventions in real life.

School is a crucial part of a person’s life due to the amount of knowledge and successability a person might gain in their future. School can also be a place where students can interact with their fellow friends, but for others it can be a traumatizing place due to the amount of stress and also responsibility they might carry . This can be because of the stress teachers may put on the students. This can lead to students not giving their full effort on school, which will cause them to be mediocre students, and they wouldn’t be able to show their teacher the true potential they carry within themselves. These types of students are the one’s who are typically the students that aren’t successful in school. They just don’t

It bears mentioning that I care a great deal about excellence in instruction. My pedagogical stance is based in the power of the narrative. Whether I am teaching multivariate statistics, persuasion, research design or social and behavioral attributes of public health—I approach it as though I have a story to tell. I want students to learn, of course, but I also want them to be inspired to be their “best self”. I firmly believe that students are our most valued asset. If students believe the school to be their “home” and the people within the school

This illustrates that many of us thought finish school would be the ending of life than we go out as adults we either go through more schooling or get a job. Our life in school can be a rough place with so many challenges we must undergo. Socrates told us that “he is reluctantly dragged up a steep and rugged ascent,”(Paragraph, Allegory of the cave). To demonstrate all students go through life with many problems but half of us try to get through all those hardships. Moreover, are education is always changing.

Kevin Corrigan is giving forth his ideas of a more inclusive approach to modern university learning of the humanities. The author is arguing the necessity of the humanities in today’s higher education and their equal value alongside other academic principles. The article addresses the problems faced by modern universities, mainly that of the scientific disciplines taking precedence over the arts and humanities. The article sets forth the idea that academic disciples should not be valued by their economic worth or what is in demand at the time. Corrigan explains how interdisciplinary learning instead of viewing modern universities from one viewpoint could remove the question of the humanities’ relevance and provide a “more integral and inclusive

Today, fashion choices plays a major role in influencing the self-perception of different people. In order to understand how this happens, it is a good idea first to ascertain what self-perception is. This is the view of an individual about themselves as well as the physical and mental attributes that make up the individual. The theory of self-perception holds that individuals tend to develop certain attitudes through making observations of their own behavior as well as making conclusions of the attitudes that have led to them. One of the elements that influences self-perception is fashion choices. This is what this research paper will be based on. The paper will examine in details how fashion choices influences the self-perception of different people.

Fourth, students need to see themselves as active makers and changers of culture and society. If given the skills to judge people and their thoughts fairly, and the knowledge that they can make a difference, students will take better control of life in the future.

In the class, I had a assignment where I had to design an advertisement poster for famous brands, and during research, I came up cross a quote from famous fashion designer, Gianni Versace, "Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." This quote made me to decide who I am. From this I was aware of fashion. I was able to convince my father for my career as a Fashion Designer. I see change in his attitude of being more supportive than before. He talked proudly about my work to people and it motivated me to work harder to validate that I made the right

I justify the humanities by sketching four views of knowledge in which the idea of an academy or an integration of disciplines might be understood. I assume that every system of higher education inevitably appeals to concepts of knowledge. Such concepts cannot be isolated from political and civic dimensions of life as well as from personal cultivation and character. Nonetheless, older views based on these aspects are open to serious criticism. The four views considered are Aristotelian-Thomistic, Cartesian-positivist, Kantian, and "traditionalist" (in a liberal and hermeneutic sense). The paper describes key elements in each of these views and notes several objections, with a marked preference for Kantian and "traditionalist" views. Kant

We all go to school for education, to obtain the knowledge needed to find what we are passionate about, but through the years of schooling, many factors come into play when looking at students and their achievements all throughout their 12 years of education until college. Student achievement is the measure of the academics a student learns within a quick time frame. Student achievement is an achievement worthwhile, once all is said and done. Students need to achieve within the school, or at least the early crucial developmental stages of our life because student achievement is the motivation that they feed off of to enlighten their future of eccentric possibilities. When a student doesn’t succeed or doesn’t perform as expected, three things may influence their achievement in school from their race, age, socioeconomic status and family structure.

A good school is a place where every student is known well, cared for, and respected, where each student is a member of a ‘family.’ A place where every student is challenged and supported to achieve ambitious goals. A place where teachers and administrators go to bed and get up thinking about how to make the first two of these come to life, where they work hard to make that happen, and where they hold themselves and their colleagues responsible for success.
