Anyone can be intellectual?
At any educational level, different groups and types of students exist. Intellectualism can be approached and understood in many forms, varying from regular study works, vast literature, and knowledge provided at educational institutions.

Often, these groups of students before becoming “hybrid” were categorized in two groups, those being

    What makes an intellectual is a work they do in a critical way, that is they enjoy and explore the vast knowledge that is learned within the topic. It is stated, that everyone is an intellectual in a way. Some intellectuals have more influence than others due to the access to large numbers of people, media base and more.

    In Gerald Graff's, "Hidden Intellectualism", Graff proves intelligence does not only exist in the academic form of thinking. He insists knowledge can also take the form of street smarts. Graph uses his own experiences and his childhood to help form his argument by telling about his disinterest in academic subjects, and further elaborates on his love of sports. He suggests academic knowledge is a hindrance in social life, as anti-intellectualism subdues it. An intolerance of superiority between the youth caused internal conflict of knowledge against strength.…

    In the article “Hidden Intellectualism” by Gerald Graff, he writes about how the American society views street smarts in the lines,” Nor do we consider one of the major reasons why schools and colleges overlook the intellectual potential of street smarts: the fact that we associate those street smarts with anti intellectual concerns. We associate the educated life, the life of the mind, too narrowly and exclusively with subjects and texts that we consider inheritably weighty and academic. We assume that it’s possible to wax intellectual about Pluto, Shakespeare, the French Revolution, and nuclear fission, but not about cars, dating, fashion, sports, TV, or Video Games.” (Graff…

    For many the American Dream is just that, a dream. It is almost inconceivable to some people that they could ever reach the goal of being successful and comfortable in the United States, but that has never stopped anyone from trying their hardest to achieve this feat. For some though that goal is not as unattainable as it is for others and the reason for this is because there is no set definition of the American Dream. The meaning of the American Dream varies for each person and therefore the road to someone accomplishing his American Dream can differ greatly. These alternate perceptions based on the person can lead to one person believing he has failed in his pursuit of the American Dream, while another may be convinced that he has accomplished…

    " The boys on the other block were addressed as "hoods" based partly on the matter that they possessed more street and worldly smarts than educational skills. Graft points out the issue of society's view on so-called intellects and anti-intellects several times over throughout his article, Hidden Intellectual. He further identifies this problem by using vivid comparisons to indicate that a school's education is not always the only path to intelligent learning. Who's to say that reading articles from They Say, I Say and writing analytical reports is the best way to learn.…

    Intellectual theory is based on cognition and learning. The way in which a person learns directly affects his or her development process, and educational/career path. (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2012). It's important for a counselor to recognize that there is no one-size-fits all approach to learning, and that each student may achieve certain levels of cognition differently. Felder & Brent (2005) note that different backgrounds, strengths, ambitions, and levels of motivation all contribute to different learning styles and their outcomes.…

    An intellectual is defined as a person who places a high value on or pursues things of interest to the intellect or the more complex forms and fields of knowledge. This definition of an intellectual has been restricted by an educational system to mean indoctrinate students into what the system believes to be “academic”. Gerald Graff’s essay “Hidden Intellectualism” argues that there is knowledge and intelligence beyond what the traditional education system is practicing. Graff contends that incorporating the interests of students into the lesson will help students think more effectively and logically. “Intellectualism” is seen by how well a student does in traditional subjects.…

    In the essay “Hidden Intellectualism,” Gerald Graff argues intelligence is not black and white, and there can be different ways for it to be shown. Specifically, Graff believes that in academic settings students should be able to be given the chance to study subjects that interest them. As the author puts it, “But they would be more prone to take on intellectual identities if we encouraged them to do so at first on subjects that interest them rather than ones that interest us.” Although some people believe the only intelligence is shown through academic work and school, Graff insists that schools and colleges are missing an opportunity when they discourage students from turning their interests in nonacademic activities into something they…

    This strategy was extremely useful for my response to “Hidden Intellectualism” by Gerald Graff. Reading the article and capturing its main idea helped me respond to Graff’s claims. Like I did in the summary paper, I reviewed the whole piece swiftly, yet carefully, by examining each paragraph to comprehend Graff’s arguments more clearly. Also, searching for interesting quotes allowed me to explain what I agree and disagree with. For example, I agreed with Graff’s claim that schools and colleges are to blame for not considering street smarts as part of their learning community by mentioning that “street smarts are intellectuals in their own right much as book smarts are and that schools and teachers bear the responsibility of helping street smarts reveal their hidden potential.”…

    Graff recognizes these people and writes about them in his essay, Hidden Intellectualism (Graff 264-75), intellectuals who have learned their skill through years of hard work in their profession(s). Graff considered himself to be one of this people. He talks about how the only thing that interested him were things about sports.
