Newman

Just like many other people in the world, the authors John Henry Newman and David Foster Wallace both have their own opinion on why people should obtain an education. In Newman’s piece, he argues that the reason for obtaining a liberal education is “knowledge is capable of being its own end” (Newman #). On the Contrary Wallace believe that the real value of a liberal education has to do with “simple awareness” (Wallace #). Newman and Wallace both have seemingly different opinions on the value of…

The book I read and reviewed was Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings by Katherine Newman. She is a respected professor at Harvard Universities Kennedy School of Government and Dean of Social Science at the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study so she has the appropriate credentials to investigate the social roots of school shootings. However, Newman has very little knowledge about school violence causing some sociologists to fault her for failing to have the expertise to draw upon the…

In the article "The Accordion Family: Boomerang Kids, Anxious Parents, and the Private Toll of Global Competition" by Katherine S. Newman, the impact of the economy on families is discussed as well as the life of a kid as they are older. Kids are starting to return home or even not leaving their parents after graduating high school. This has concern for some people that kids will never learn to become independent and live on their own someday. The author effectively discusses the issue of kids…

In focusing on a narrative form that he terms as ludic, Newman looks at the work of the teasing inside joke and the enigma of the puzzle film. The word ludic was created around 1940 by psychologists as a way of describing the play of children, and applied to film, Newman informs us that this game-like form “… offers its own rewards, its own pleasures.” As a demonstration of these “pleasures,” Newman reads Pulp Fiction (1994) as a puzzle created for spectator entertainment, that uses the form of…

John Henry Newman and Alfred Loisy, the former beatified by the Roman Catholic Church and the latter excommunicated, both recognized the need for an explanation of the variation in Catholic doctrine over the course of history. Each author produced such an explanation and used their respective explanations in the disparate arguments of their writings. Newman’s primary goal was to establish the legitimacy of the Catholic tradition’s variation over time, while Loisy was concerned with both…

the court cases that follow. In the collection of poems, Newman divides both of these events into two different parts. Both parts are narrative-driven and provide the reader with events that happen in both places—the bar and the courtroom. Newman strategically structures several of the poems in these sections to emphasize the major theme of homophobia and animosity in regards to homosexuality. In the first part of October Mourning, Newman structures the poems to assist in narrating the murder…

Liberal Education Newman (1996) called for a liberal education to develop all-round student. According to him, university was a place for the intellect excellence. However, many universities misinterpreted the accumulation of knowledge alone as intellect training. Though admitting knowledge’s underlying role in education, Newman underscored that the intellect was more than storage of knowledge. The true intellect excellence, which requested students to recognize and process the implicit…

preschool at Newman Catholic. My parents liked Newman because it was close to my house. My dad liked it because he could come get me and take me home and then go back to work. Preschool was a pretty interesting time for me, because my friends and I would always play games together. At Newman we would get recess at 10:30, 1:30, and 3:00. These times were the best times because all my worries would go away and all I had to do is run around and have fun. There was…

toddlerhood (Newman & Newman, 2015). During the infant stage of development, the child begins to form connections based on the quality of attachments made with their caregivers. Newman and Newman (2015) state that trust is the belief in the “availability, dependability, and sensitivity of another person” (p. 177). Also, infants begin to form these types of connections based on the child experience of danger or loss, an inefficient caregiver or of not feeling lovable (Newman & Newman, 2015).…
