and The Yale Report I agree with having liberal education in schools. Below I will explain both Seneca’s Epistle and The Yale Report briefly for you to understand my positioning.

He admits that at times he teaches for a good review from his students, but tells us he does not want the title as a fun enjoyable teacher. Edmundson would rather his students leave his class being changed and have learned something from him instead of being liked. He then begins to talk about the facts of liberal arts…

persuasion and ways to reach an audience. From ancient times to the 21st century, rhetoric has been a part of liberal arts.

Liberal arts have been around a long time and Cardinal Newman’s Idea of a University suggested it will live on for even longer if we stick to what we have been doing.
