Thus the LOGOS, in Heraclitus's view, is the unifier in nature. Heraclitus argued that to understand correctly how things come to be and what it is to be (LOGOS) one must see that all things are unified in the LOGOS. Moreover, Heraclitus wrote, “For all things come to be in accordance with this LOGOS.” (McKirahan 116, Fr. 10.1) Thus, the LOGOS is also the origin of all things insofar as it is the arrangement of all matter. Through this arrangement or unity of all things, Heraclitus concluded that, “all things are one.” (McKirahan) In doing so, Heraclitus solidified his concept of unity in the universe and explained how this is possible through the constant interaction and balance between opposite things in the universe.
“I think people change a great deal between 18 and 22” – Dr. Neuhauser, president of St. Michael’s College. Not only could such courses open doors to this ‘self-discovery’, but also having a larger set of skills is going to make one a more knowledgeable, credible, and interesting person. Colleges want to prepare an individual for the ‘real world’ and are putting their best foot forward to help develop certain tools to help the students. If you are a person who can communicate well with writing and also orally, that alone will help you in any situation, not just a focused major. Also brought up in the article is being able to make a choice, or an argument and being able to defend your side of that argument.
With this respect comes a stronger conscience as well as greater morals. Diving deep into ideas on how to earn the idea of respect really emphasized the solution to the whole problem association with young adults and the increase in problems with them. Metaphors can be a great way to simplify a complicated subject to enable a wider variety of audiences to understand it more thoroughly, which essentially leads to greater enjoyment of the reading. A great example of using a metaphor to allow the reader to understand better is when the author states “It is an island apart, striving to maintain itself in a sea of change.” (pg 391). This is referring to how the household is not connected with the outer world and is therefore isolated from any interactions.
This essay by Ungar advocates a liberal arts college edification for all despite the current economic hardship that many Americans face. He lists seven mundane misconceptions about liberal arts inculcation and then proceeds to expound why they are not so. The first misconception that he sets straight is that vocational training is a more preponderant alternative to liberal arts in today’s economic times. He verbalizes that albeit focused vocation training may be an expeditious fine-tune, students may not always be able to find work in that one categorical field, and it is more preponderant for them to gain a broad range of cognizance. He then argues that albeit people may cerebrate that college graduates with liberal arts degrees are having a more arduous time finding good jobs, that is not the case.
This clearly is supportive of the title statement as if true, then all outcomes are already decided and therefore our decisions are similarly already decided by some sort of greater power. An implication of hard determinism is the possible rejection of ethics and morality – for if our actions make no difference to any outcome then why would we act ethically? For example, if a person is to make a decision between two
The speeches of Anwar Sadat and Aung San Suu Kyi should continue to be studied in Module B of the 2012 HSC as they have value and significance for a modern audience. The speeches achieve enduring value through their representations of contextually significant concepts. These concepts then transcend into the values, attitudes and beliefs of contemporary society. The refined use of language and rhetorical devices helps the composers to achieve their purpose and to be successful in conveying a sense of authenticity in the issues they represent. This is complimented by the logical topic structure of both speeches which assists in the persuasion of the respective purposes.
Sanford J. Ungar, president of Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, describes misperceptions pertaining to the liberal arts and his response to each in “The New Liberal Arts”. A misperception means to misunderstand or have a mistaken belief about something. Sanford Ungar’s use of this word when writing the article predisposes the reader to his thoughts on the subject and, therefore, the reader is automatically inclined to believe that what Ungar says is true. The liberal arts involves taking courses and procuring a degree in the area of Arts or Sciences. These courses will be in general areas of study, like philosophy, mathematics, literature and so.
Peter Berkowitz, a professor of Stanford University in “Our Compassless Colleges” argues about liberal education in American universities. He proceeds by saying that liberal education in Universities is not structured correctly and that could lead the students to have problems in the long run. Furthermore Berkowitz stated that liberal education in universities provide only superficial-knowledge and not true education. As he sets many questions about who is truly an educated person and to support his ideas about the wrong guidance that universities give to the students, he gives as a major example one of the best universities worldwide, the Harvard University. Berkowitz claimed that although Harvard is a very good university in terms of certificate
Meade 1 Shan Meade Professor Tarkan-Blanco ENC 1102 5 July 2011 Reading Response # 1 In his essay “College Pressures” William Zinsser shares his advice for students who bring their problems to him and his wishes for them. As the Master of students at Yale Zinsser wants his students to keep in mind “…that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think” (463). The essence of Zinsser’s argument is that the journey through college in preparation for a career might not play out as the student initially planned. He advises them to not draw a hard-line in the sand when mapping out their future. Change of college majors, career fields, life expectations are not to be fear but expected and welcomed.1 Zinsser has many wishes for his students, wishes that they find “…some release from the clammy grip of the future”
I will be responding to the article “It Doesn’t Test for Success” by Joanne V. Creighton. Colleges, universities, students, and their families should really be questioning college placement test. The SAT’s do not test students’ academic or career potential. Test scores vary depending on schooling and familiarity with English. Also, family’s higher income has an advantage amongst SAT classes or special tutoring.
