As they may have done for others, books do increase my vocabulary. I believe this is the most important way that reading has affected my life. By reading, I can always expand my vocabulary and the ways to express my ideas to the others in a simple and correct form. As time goes on, I improve the kind of books that I read so I will ever stop learning from the pleasure of reading. If it hadn't been for books, I would not have been as articulate as I am today.
In the last decades, the issue of using television as a learning tool became the center of many controversies. Some people consider it to be effective and believe that it should be acknowledged, while others claim that it is far from being an educational means and that it must not be considered as an educational tool nor should it play an instructive role in their lives. In this essay, Paul Robinson falls into the second group as he argues that TV cannot take any didactic part in people’s lives or habits. After reading the article I came to agree with the author in his point of view on this subject on certain points and to disagree on others. One the first hand, I believe that there can t be an equal substitute for real teachers and actual books.
Berkowitz quotes King who states “most college men have a misconception of the purpose of education. Most of the "brethren" think that education should equip them with the proper instruments of exploitation so that they can forever trample over the masses. Still others think that education should furnish them with noble ends rather than means to an end.” Education is not just a tool individual learns to succeed in life. Education is a process where one learns to reason for their own, from experiences others have, to solve problems. This is what King seeks to explain to the reader in his essay.
According to Sheed, “Schools and colleges also teach something by their very natures, which is that you are now playing for a whole community and not just yourself” (498).” Essentially, what Sheed is saying is that sports have brought entire communities to share and experience one thing they love, and that this is truly honorable for the individuals playing the game. The amount of pride one presents on his or her favorite sports team or individual is phenomenal and to know that a game can bring together a community of very different perspectives is a thought to be cherished. I am of two minds on this issue. On the one hand, I believe that sports do have an underlying role for disciplinary actions within the players because the game teaches them patience, sportsmanship, and honesty. But on the other hand, I understand that in today’s regime, sports has become a career choice, and how well one performs determines their life’s salary.

Comparison-contrast essay on the perspectives of Neil Postman and Thomas Friedman on technology in education. Technology with out a doubt has impacted education in a major way, from the way we go to school to the way we are taught. Some would say this is a good thing and others would disagree. Neil Postman's opinion on the matter would show how technology can negatively impact education leaving gaps in learning however, someone such as Thomas Friedman would disagree stating that he views technology as a revolutionary tool to education that will undoubtedly make it better. Could technology hurt education or, is technology the revolution to education?
Working within a team environment also can make member stronger as an individual. Most individual success stories have a common denominator, a team that works in the background to help someone succeed. Team sports can help build social skills as well. Meeting new people whom may have a different set of skills, different types of personality, and a completely different outlook on life in general can be educational and a good character builder. “Participating in team sports also helps individuals to be able to handle stressful situations and make split second decisions” (Dorsey).
It gives the much needed exercise that all humans need in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It can help keep children and adults stay away from negative influences. They can even teach discipline because people need to keep practicing in order to get better at the sport that they play. Sports bring out the competitive fire in players. Although, some people play just for fun and exercise, which is great, many play to win.
They want to be just like them, because of this, in many cases children will follow their actions blindly out of admiration for the athlete. Secondly, the onus is on the professional athletes to strive to be a role model for their younger fans because children are socialized into looking at sports as a way to gain key attributes. This is illustrated by John R. Gerdy in his book “Sports in School, the future of an institution”. It states “Athletic programs, if conducted in a way that emphasizes the value of the process (participation) as opposed to the outcome (winning), can instil in participants an appreciation for hard work, honesty, teamwork, and discipline.” Professional athletes are expected to demonstrate high levels of commitment and dedication, as well as integrity in their respective sport not only for themselves and their team, but so that there is a good example in which their young fans can follow and possibly shape the way they play their sport of interest. Furthermore, with the power and fame that is associated with
