Richard B. Spencer's Place At Depaul

Improved Essays
The philosophy club had a good idea in inviting someone with a different view than the majority of students at DePaul in order to be open about free speech. However, the candidate they chose in this case is probably the most extreme example of conservative that they could’ve possibly gotten. Despite his views being based off of conservative values, Richard B. Spencer takes it to a whole new level. The “alternative right” level. Of course, Richard B. Spencer has the right to believe in what he wants to, we do live in the United States of America after all. However, his personality and actions do not have a place at DePaul. Despite his views being against majority of DePaul’s core values, his behavior in general will not have a place here and

    Sanford Ungar argues the importance that a liberal arts degree holds today in America to those who are skeptic in his article, “The New Liberal Arts.” There are several points Ungar disproves. Ungar states that the job market was tough to crack into among all majors. Liberal arts have nothing to do with politics and can’t be related to democratic ideology according to Ungar. Several institutions that provide secondary education have liberal arts degrees which gives several opportunities for students to attain an education accessible to them.…

    In Glenn Loury’s speech, “Is He One of Us? Reflections on Identity and Authenticity” (pp. 489-493), he delivers the 245th Opening Convocation to the students of Brown University. Loury addresses diversity, what role it plays, and the advantages it can bring to people’s lives. His supporting statements are puzzling and his justification falls short of being a well thought-out speech, as one might expect at an Opening Convocation. As his speech progresses, his direction becomes unclear with each new point he brings up.…

    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.…

    “Learning as Freedom”, by Michael S. Roth, is primarily a response to recent sentiments that higher education is a waste of resources. Roth states that his opposition frequently wonder why people who aren’t going to make lots of money in their future occupation bother with going to college. (1). According to Roth, advocates of this perspective see attending higher education as “buying a customized playlist of knowledge” (1), and nothing more. Therefore, if the knowledge gained will not insure the buyer great financial success, than why expend the resources to go in the first place?…

    The late nineteenth century is known as “The Age of Imperialism”. This was a time that many major world powers, including the United States, sought to expand their territorial possessions. The idea of American imperialism was very popular, perhaps because U.S. citizens felt that America was exceptional compared to other countries, mainly because of its special mission to spread freedom and democracy worldwide. In order to accomplish this, America would need to exert its economic, military, and cultural influence internationally. Among the many supporters of American imperialism, there are four notable intellectuals that greatly assisted our nation into supporting this ideology, those being Frederick Jackson Turner, Alfred T. Mahan, Herbert…

    Establishing legitimization occurs when an entity posses the right to be heard and taken seriously (Simons & Jones, 2015). By choosing two students a part of the Legislative Branch of the SUNY Fredonia Student Association the campaign would establish the legitimacy it needs to be successful. According to the SUNY Fredonia website members of the Legislative Branch are responsible for voting on statute changes, budgetary requests, re-acknowledgements, appointments, and more (Fredonia SA, 2015). These two students hold official positions of power within the university, and also act as informal opinion leaders out the institution. Based off of Recruit the Student, the Community Carriage Campaign believes students are the most effective rhetors to convince other students, because they can understand the audience’s beliefs, attitudes, and values (Smith, 2004).…

    In William Zinsser’s article, “College Pressures,” he explains the four pressures students faced in the late 1970’s. The pressures include: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure and self-induced pressure. These students had an immense amount of pressure, and Zinsser’s wish was for them to delight in their educational journey. Granted, the pressures Zinsser mentions continue to exist nowadays; current students face even greater pressures. For one, in order to afford tuition, books and essential expenses, thousands of student work a full time job.…

    Brooks had only one mention of Dr. Kirk in the entire book; if he had incorporated Kirk’s canons of what defines the modern Conservative movement, it would have carried his messaging even more clearly. These values represent a traditional Conservative way of thinking and Kirk strongly reinforced those ideals into his writings. The four canons that I see that should have been applied throughout this book are: a belief in a transcendent order ; a conviction that society requires orders and classes that emphasize "natural" distinctions ; belief that property and freedom are closely linked; and a faith in custom, convention, and prescription. I believe that these four canons effectively measure the worth of a man.…
