Liberal

many situations or problems we are faced with. Liberal arts education also gives us a better view of the world around us as well as our specific area of interest.

So now we need to find the definite purpose of Christian liberal arts to our education. We are still learning all those aspects of liberal arts education, but as God would want us to…

In 2015 the Liberals engineered one of the greatest political comebacks of a generation going from thirty-four seats in parliament to a stunning one hundred and eight four, despite the fact they were trailing in third place when the campaign began (Andrew-Gee, 2015). A victory of this margin deserves to be analyzed if for the mere fact that the Liberal Party will use the victory as a mandate to enact their agenda. This paper will argue that the Liberal Party’s victory was the result of a adept…

Ontario Liberals have a long tradition of working to improve the lives of all Ontarians. Today we continue on in the best tradition of the early party – whether it be making post-secondary education more affordable, and more in reach, giving families more money to help with the high cost of raising their kids, or investing in sustainable infrastructure, which makes our communities safer and more resilient, even helping to make Ontario a North American leader in clean technology – attracting more…

The Earthly Use and Liberal Education Per Giamatti in the short story, “The Early use of Liberal Education”, Liberal Arts has nothing to do with the pollical definition of liberal and is not an education in preparation for a profession. Throughout the short story the author makes arguments as to why Liberal Arts is practical. The author states that one should “free the mind”.

“The New Liberal Arts” and “College is a Ludicrous Waste of Money.” Ungar discusses why a liberal arts education should be pursued; doing so by introducing common misconceptions about liberal arts and, using argumentative persuasion, proves their insignificance. On the other hand, Reich argues against the conventional belief…

What is a liberal arts education? William Cronon (to me) gave the best description of a liberal arts degree and what makes a student liberally educated. Cronon stated that “Freedom and Growth; are values when we speak of a liberal education” (5). I believe that to be liberally educated you must be able to grow on things you 've learned, branch out in a sense. It’s not about how you learn, it’s what you learn and how you use what you learn that makes you liberally educated. Many people ask why a…
