    She argues that institutions of higher education are failing students in streamlining them towards specific areas of study, depriving them of a well-rounded education that would enrich their character and, in turn, foster a successful democracy. While this is a reasonable argument, there must be something about the single-subject model of education that justifies its continued use. Nussbaum speaks bleakly about the structure of education in the Indian technical school she observed, but given that the single-subject model is instituted there to such a great extent, the educators who put it in place must have recognized some merit in the structure. She rejects the notion that the single-subject model of education leads to economic growth quite justly with the example of a third-world country. It is worth considering, then, what the merits of the single-subject model are, and how it may function in a first-world…

    Rabindranath Tagore once said, “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” I believe that there is a lot of hidden meaning behind those thirteen simple words. To me, this quote is saying that you aren’t going to get anywhere in life if you don’t try. That means that every once in awhile you should step out of your comfort zone and experience the world through a different lens, or from a different perspective. I fully agree with Rabindranath Tagore.…

    The cast of characters present in the novel The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri all contribute to the development of the story each in their own unique way. Alongside their contribution to the storyline, complex characters had to change and mature over time for the story to progress. It’s evident that this includes Ashoke as he’s a character who undergoes character development. Unfortunately, it’s often difficult for readers to realize the evolution of Ashoke’s character since it’s overshadowed by Gogol’s easily identified character growth. The significance of Ashoke’s development makes him arguably the most vital character due to the huge effect it has on the Gangulis especially his own son Gogol.…

The root of this issue is deducing which of them is correct.…

He builds up this claim by first presenting a paradox connecting "Genius and Drill", in which one cannot function without the other.…

There are countless benefits to general education classes; however, many students are yet to acknowledge their importance. They put little effort into the required classes, blow off assignments, and are completely oblivious to the many skills they need in order to become well-rounded citizens. They would rather spend their time taking classes related to their major than “wasting” it in a general education course.…
