    When there are so many different breeds of intellectuals in society, how and who decides who are the more meaningful or effective if they are not evaluated in different settings? Having a college degree or having great grades throughout the years in school is not necessarily a reflection of one person’s intelligence. In “Hidden Intelligence”, Gerald Graff argues for the merging of the “street smarts” students adequately into the classroom curriculum, stating that student’s interests are identified as anti-intellectual, and that the educational system ignores the potential that might emerge from their areas of interest. Graff also calls into question the legitimacy of the educational system that favors more notable literary books or subjects…

    Before the authors begin their main discussion, they state, “This study uses empirical evidence from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) freshman survey, the College Student Survey, and the higher Education Research Institute Faculty Survey” (802). By stating the surveys in which the data was found, the authors establish logos and ethos with the reader; someone reading the article may be more inclined to trust facts gathered by many other sources that are not directly related to the authors. Hewitt and Mariani use logic to be persuasive in their argument when stating, “Student orientation when leaving college is not significantly different from the population at large”(802) and immediately afterward states, “Our Analysis did find that other institutional and personal characteristics, including institutional control, gender and socio-economic status, have an effect on the changes in student political ideology” (803). With both of these statements back to back, the authors can make their argument to the reader in a way that makes the reader think, “So college faculties don’t necessarily affect student ideology, but common knowledge that people 's origins affect them is…

    Growing up this quote by Malcom X sets the tone for my attitude towards education. “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” In today’s world, a higher education is the cornerstone of life. Regarding the debate of a liberal education over the years, I concur with Shorris and his points in “On the Uses of a Liberal Education as a Weapon in the Hands of the Restless Poor” and want to qualify with Edmundson’s points in “On the Uses of a Liberal Education as Lite Entertainment for Bored College Students”. Edmundson used to think that a liberal education was beneficial for everyone and was originally for self-betterment.…

    Richard Rodriguez, in the chapter in which the quote can be found, titled "Aria", writes repeatedly about the importance of intimacy with public and private language. Rodriguez mentions that intimacy can only be achieved in his life through the one language that he feels as if was a sort of secret one, Spanish. In my opinion, this quote bounces off a highly profound meaning. The reason why I say this is because I find it majorly interesting, the way that Richard Rodriguez sees the opinion of other people about mixing public life with private language; in other words using the language that transmits intimacy in a public place surrounded by people who speak other language that does not transmit anything close to intimacy. I find myself to be…

    This philosophical study will a argue in favor of the “whole person”” theory of higher education in Delbanco’s and Socrates argument on the importance of self-examination in the modern collegiate education. Delbanco argues that the idea of the “whole person” arises from gaining experience in higher education, which is defined through a standard liberal arts education. Currently, the extremely high cost of education has made it very difficult for many Americans to get a liberal education, which often makes college appear to counterintuitive in terms of a professional career: One of the difficulties in making the case for liberal education against the rising tide of skepticism is that it is almost impossible to persuade doubters who have not experienced it for…
