    Not for Profit is made up of seven chapters and each chapter is reinforcing and strengthening the author’s main arguments. Martha Nussbaum’s work revolves around a call for the rescue of educational system on a global scale, particularly issues relating to promotion of knowledge, skills, and personalities necessary for a democratic citizenship. Earlier in her work, she articulates that, “We are in the midst of a crisis of massive proportions and grave global significance… No, I mean a crisis that goes largely unnoticed, like a cancer; a crisis that is likely to be, in the long run, far more damaging to the nature of democratic self-government: a worldwide crisis in education” (p.1-2). After her projection of these problems to the world, she further points out the sources to these problems in the area of social, economic, and intellectual developments that in one way or the other are overseeing the educational…

    As a 20th-century writer, C. S. Lewis responded to a variety of contemporary issues that he saw and experienced. Lewis used his writing to combat and correct the educational shifts and standards of his modern England, making him a problem solver; in The Abolition of Man, he claims that England 's education system has created "men without chests," and he calls for sentimentality and values to be re-instilled by offering the Tao as the solution. Before Lewis can correct a problem in society, he must first identify the issue, it’s origin, and why it is detrimental for humanity. During Lewis’ time, the educational institutions of England had adopted the technique of simply pointing out what was false and “cutting down jungles” rather than assisting…

    In Adam Braun’s memoir and life guide “The Promise of a Pencil”, the speaker relates his journey of creating Pencils of Promise and the lessons learned along the way. He employs the rhetorical technique of flashback in a way that is both elucidating and memorable, establishing mood of unwitting self-indulgence in a tone that is both austere and sophomoric. Any college worth its salt has a motto, something to aspire to. At FIU it’s “Hope, Knowledge, Opportunity”. While sounding great in Latin, to me it expresses what a university does, not exactly what it's for.…

    Although Socrates prepared his speech in the Apology to be used in his defense trial, it seems as if Socrates also subtly promoted a manifesto of values that are quite comparable to the values listed in Connecticut College’s Mission Statement and Values. It may be argued that this is purely coincidental, however, Socrates’ speech in the Apology has been and still is a tremendous philosophical influence, thus, it appears more so that Socrates’ speech influenced the Connecticut College’s Mission Statement and Values. However, it is worth mentioning that the College’s Mission Statement was constructed for a unique purpose, thus, certain aspects of the College’s values are uniquely different from that of Socrates. Connecticut College wrote their…

    Balancing the needs and desires of the individual, with the needs and attitudes of any society will always be a difficult task, and such conflict is clearly evident in the field of education. As argued by many academics, the defining of primary purposes of education requires dynamic flexibility between these conflicting perspectives and the plentiful opinions held by different people with different positions in society. Educational purposes can be divided into those that are individualistic and those that suit the goals of society. Dependency between such purposes is apparent with individual aims needing to be achieved in order for certain social aims to be accomplished too (Merseth, US-World 35 lecture, Sept 18, 2014). However, as exploration…
