Many students take their schooling seriously, and to hear words like those questioning their sincerity would anger any graduate who had taken great pains to successfully complete their education. Neusner also fails to see that professors who treat their students with a dismissing, angry attitude can’t expect to be loved and respected in return. “The Speech the Students Didn’t Hear” by Jacob Neusner addresses the students of Brown University and implies that the students there take advantage of their education. Neusner supports this by only using his elements of personal experience, as well as several hasty, misapplied generalizations. Neusner’s argument would have been more effective if he had supported his claims with other professor’s opinions instead of just his biased ones.
You need structure to keep things in order and to keep chaos down. Structure always seems to make things move smoothly and properly. I think this will also be a good experience to try something different and new. I wanted to be different and accomplish mile high dreams and hopefully this course can help me achieve that. Not only did I choose to participate in this program for academic reasons.
In addition, he believed in having the exchange of ideas between two human beings. He knew and believed that people under valued the actual meaning of personal communication. Socrates wanted to let people know the importance of expanding people’s learning and knowledge, along with bettering your soul. He stressed that, how people felt and acted on the inside was
In some people's eyes, Malcolm may seem the ignorant between the two great leaders. Furthermore, Malcolm wanted segregation, while Martin wanted to work together which was the favorable thing to do in the long run. This is why so many more people know of the teachings of Martin Luther King. Only, I don’t think Malcolm was fighting for what was more likable to the people. He fought for what he believed in, and he fought until the end.
I will be exposed to new things as well as new people. Finally I would like to develop the skills and be a leader as referred to by Eugene B. Habecker, “The true leader serves people. Serves their best interests, and in so doing will not always be popular, may not always impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern rather than a desire for personal glory they are willing to pay the
It appears that Socrates has had a change of heart but his stance never changes. Apology is Socrates trial where he has to defend himself, in front of a jury, of accusations against him. Meletus argues that he, “busies himself studying things in the sky and below the earth; he makes the worse into the stronger argument, and teaches these same things onto others” (Apology 24b). Socrates argues that he is not a teacher because he does not accept pay. The young men that follow him around are not his students, but try to mimic the way that he acts.
Once this reluctance is overcome our society will improve dramatically. It is a proven truth that the betterment and improvement of any social system depends upon the depth of the relationship which its individuals enjoy. Moreover, educating students about diverse cultures can help them understand their own culture in a better manner. Contrasting their own trends and ideas with others, is a very good way of understanding that what is better and why. The juvenile minds will not only learn about other cultures, but will also get closer to their own culture.
His investigations into the men that claimed wisdom brought about much hostility against him. The real issue in his trial is not “criminal meddling” or that he taught his pupils to disbelieve in the gods or to “make the weaker argument defeat the stronger,” but is really his life style or philosophical life and is that these investigations expose the fact that his accusers pretend knowledge when they are ignorant and they have their reputations to protect as being learned men. The revelations of Socrates could also bring about the loss of power and worth of the ruling class, which relied on tradition and the acceptance of the people and would affect the faith in the gods that were accepted by the state as the one true religion. Wisdom according to Socrates is that in respect to wisdom, you are worthless. He felt that wisdom of the Gods was true and relevant and that of humans was not even comparable.
I also liked how he talked about nontraditional grammar. It was something that I was able to understand because I know that I am in the generation he is talking about. I think that just because we grew up with more technology and other ways to get around communicating that we should not get punished when it comes to
Because these associations are more personally created, their likelihood of success may be greater. For these reasons, it might be wise to eschew ‘mentor’ as an all encompassing term and seek others, which might reflect how teachers help one another to become sophisticated professionals’ (p. 425). There are some major points stated by the researcher in the article. While the mentors started with teaching generic strategies the mentoring interactions were actually more subject focused, which appeared to be a common strand in the report implying that the mentors were perceived as subject specialist, i.e. they were expected to have a sound knowledge and understanding of the subject content.
