Liberal Bias in the Media Since the media has been around, there have always been accusations of biased opinions being published to the public. Particularly in today’s news, there seems to be a very heavy bias towards liberals and liberal ideas. While conservatives have been making this argument for years, the truth of the matter seems to become clearer each day. With today’s technology, the media is in more places than ever. In fact, it’s everywhere. The internet contains a plethora of media…
I will develop life-lasting relationships with the people that surround me everyday. It will be this networking that will eventually allow me to become an influential person in our society. Since Stanford is one of the best schools that offer a liberal arts education, the relationships I develop will be crucial to my success. History is a true testament to the success and necessity of relationships. Even going back to prehistoric times, we saw how neanderthals were only able to survive and…
Humans love adventures, sports and many varieties of working out and competition. For example, hiking is one of the most painful exercises that men and women can practice. However, hiking provides an incredible joy and appreciation at the end of the effort. So as hiking, many challenges that humans faced seem to be difficult and request a lot effort and sacrifices. One of those challenges is going to college. Different people, with different nature and different ideas lead to multiple choice and…
As we all know, Liberals and conservatives possess completely opposing beliefs. In the next few paragraphs, I will explain how these opposing factors have created distortion amongst the immigration process, although both parties seem to share biased opinions on the topic.

Liberals believe that an economy can only flourish under fiscal discipline, with proper treatment of Social Security and Medicare, new markets opening to American products, and with a government that costs less and is more efficient. As a result, government regulation has been a great way to helps our…

Kern has many pieces of evidence in his article that support this claim. He believes that you will have a harder time learning new things in an environment outside of college. He specifically states that "the most valuable courses don 't prescribe what to learn, but how to learn" Kern also states that most of the important…
priority, though the definition of practicality was altered. Medicine and law continued to serve the country as a whole. As students left family farms and “went out into the world,” normal schools supplied teachers for those students (Thelin, 2011). Liberal arts colleges helped emphasize the formation of character and intellect for those same students (Turner &Bernard, 1993). As a result of the Morrill Act of 1862, fields such as agriculture, mechanical education, engineering, mining and the…
truth, not its efficiency, which is significant. Based on this, Henry regrettably says, "If Fundamentalism ceases to 'work' we have imported into it elements which violate the innermost essence of Christianity" (57). The inability of contemporary liberal Christianity to answer the important social ills has exposed its untruth. The threat Henry perceives for Fundamentalism is not its untruth—he strongly believes it to be the upholder of truth—but its actions when it finds the truth: "The problem…
Mark Edmundson in his “On the Uses of a Liberal Education: As Lite Entertainment for Bored College Students” attempts to dissolve the notion that we take full advantage of a Liberal Education. He claims that colleges and the students within them are too obsessed with an ever-abundant consumerism that damages their potential for growth. As a result of being addicted to this culture of consumption, students do not have the ambition or drive they once did to achieve academic excellence. He claims…
