All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten Analysis

Decent Essays
In Robert Fulghum’s book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, he lists simple lessons. The simple lessons he listed are: put things back where you found them, play and work some every day, hold hands and stick together. Some people agree that these lessons apply to life today while others disagree. In my opinion, I agree that they still apply to us today. They may not be used the same way, but they are still used. In life today some people borrow things and don’t put it back where they got it from. This leads to people not being able to find something when they need it. Sometimes it could even lead to the item getting lost and never being seen again. The item could have been very important or valuable to the person. People

    In James W. Loewen’s Lies My Teachers Told Me, Loewen contradicts information and the way it is presented in average high school American history textbooks. United States History is taught in American high schools to inform students of the mistakes made in the past, hoping they will learn from them and not make those mistakes again. Traditionally, American students are taught the history of their nation by reading from textbooks that list and group together important facts, dates, and events. Unfortunately, students relentlessly read these groupings of facts, not taking much consideration to the content they are reading. Frequently, textbooks use heroification, archetypes, and the absence of ambiguity to cloud and omit history.…

    In Benjamin Hoff’s The Tao of Pooh, about 10 major Taoist teachings are covered through stories using the more familiar characters and concepts of Winnie the Pooh. Of these, the lessons on the understanding of inner nature, or cottlestone pie, and the story of the stonecutter, or that sort of bear, were those which I found most similar to my own goals. Both are focused on overcoming some sort of self-imposed obstacle, whether that be social anxiety or low self-esteem. Both of these also had an underlying more positive message than that offered by Buddhism or Confucianism. Where Buddhism tells me I must remove all desire to achieve happiness, and Confucianism says to turn towards my given role in life, Taoism offers the suggestion of just “being”.…
