Personal Narrative: Everybody Is Ignorant

Improved Essays
The first sentence of Everybody Is Ignorant, Only on Different Subjects got me hooked as soon as I read it. The third word was a word that I was not familiar of. I searched it up and it means doing something without permission. This was a brilliant idea is incorporate this word in this sentence because it made me become very curious. Eliot A. Butler is right though. Who in the world has permission to discuss the educated person. Only people that come into mind is a schologist. I learned that educated people have value only if the standard is high. This made me curious on what type of standards he was talking about. Was he talking about an educated person must have certain qualities or reach a certain education level? As I read on, I learned

    I never intended to be an illegal smuggler. Seriously. But when four-year-old me found out that preschool had "naptimes" (in which apparently nobody napped, making it a waste of time to me), I decided to take matters into my own hands, with drastic measures. The next day, my top-secret contraband came in with me, in the form of a book. At 1:30, while everyone else did whatever preschoolers do during naptime, the book snuck out of its carefully concealed hiding place and I disappeared into its pages.…

    To the ones who believe asking, “What are you?” is a valid conversation starter, I am multiracial and proud, but to simplify my ethnicities to others when asked, I identify myself as Asian. I was stereotyped because of how we are perceived in media and society. I spent years cowering in my own skin because others made me believe I was not Asian because of the size of my eyes, the color of my hair, and my personal interests. I was ashamed of what I looked like since I was convinced it embodied who I am as a person.…

    I am not a minority. I am not disabled. I am not poor. To many scholarships, that would make me less deserving. In all honesty, I do not consider myself to be any more deserving of this scholarship than the next, nor do I deem my education any more valuable than someone else’s.…

    The global challenge that keeps me up at night is defending society from the “hive mind”: the limiting congregation of people’s minds around a single idea. Hive minds agree on certain issues, be it LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, or gun control. They consist of people who interact with similar people who reinforce those beliefs for the entirety of their lives which can lead to increasingly polarized and isolated political ideas. This problem affects the lives of people all around the world.…

    By this, he recognizes how undervalued education is in America. This perception of education as a commodity is the reason why so many Americans have student’s loans, and even worse, do not get a higher education because they are not in a position to take another loan. I believe that a society is better prepared for the future when most of its members have a higher education. I do not understand what logic people are using by thinking that education only benefits the individual that is being educated. By thinking like this, we miss the very essence of living in an interdependent society, in which what happens to one person or group affects the rest.…

    Why do obese patients get worse care? Plenty of doctors across the United States do not see past their obesity, and treat them poorly without considering the circumstances and the feelings of the person. Most of the obese patients respond to this kind of poor care by becoming nervous, uncomfortable, and defensive about the situation. The fallacy of appeal to ignorance is presented in all three articles. In this situation, the doctors are treating their patients not how they want to be treated ignoring their knowledge on wanting to get a diet or surgery and in this case the doctors thinking their argument is correct.…

    The doctor’s office was never a fun place to be. I sat in room 2 with my mom and dad, this was a regular 3 month checkup. I glanced at the clock and our appointment had started right on time as the doctor walked in at 12 o’clock noon. My endocrinologist, Dr. Miller, was very friendly and he always gave off a very relaxed and calm vibe. He began with his regular routine, he took my blood pressure, and tested my A1C.…

    Since the first day of class, we have been discussing what it means to be an educated person and what qualifies you to be one. There are so many answers to that question and everyone will have a different point of view about it. An educated person can be anyone who just graduated high school, a doctorate student, or even a college dropout; the possibilities are endless and there is not one straight forward definition of what an educated person is. To me an educated person is a person who is engaged in the world, open to accepting new thoughts and ideas, and is willing to learn from past and future experiences as well as educational opportunities.…
