Robert Sternberg Essay

149 Words1 Page

The definition that appeals to me the most is the definition by Robert Sternberg. I agree that there are different intelligence and not just a general one like Charles Spearman has said. On the other hand, I always believe that there are always not too many either and that is why I agree with Robert Sternberg’s definition more than Charles Spearman and Howard Gardner’s definitions. I can agree with his definition that our society can live without certain intelligence like “musical intelligence.” I would also have to say that “successful intelligence” is more important for our society than others because I personally believe that successful intelligence is what strives our society to a better future and we need more of it.

    IQ while a good evaluation of a persons ability to solve logic problems is not the epitome of intelligence. If you have IQ with out practical or social intelligence in a significant quantity it wont garner you much success in the world. It needs an addition of that practical or social intelligence in order for you to become exceptionally successful within the world. The examples put forth in the book are of Chris Langan who’s IQ was in the 190 to 200’s range, Terman’s Termites (a group of students with IQ’s of 140+ that Terman followed for his Genetic Studies of Genius.), and Robert Oppenheimer. We also have two differing tests one that touches on just IQ and the other that touches on practical intelligence.

    Lynn uses the rulings of appellate courts to disprove the myth among pit bull advocates, that pit bulls are unidentifiable. The author begins the article by addressing the case of Ohio v. Anderson, and that it was decided that a dog owner of ordinary intelligence can determine if they own a dog commonly known as a pit bull. Moreover she addresses that pit bull advocates state that pit bulls are unidentifiable and that there is no such thing as a pit bull, and why this argument is not only invalid but misleading and harmful to society. Lynn states that adoption agencies have tried to create different names to signify variating subgenres of the breed in hopes to get pit bulls adopted.

    This narrows down the playing field a good bit farther, eliminating most species of animals that exist today. Intelligence can be described and defined using many different interpretations, but a simple one that will suffice our purpose is thus: “the comparative level of performance of a system in reaching its own objectives” (Kaplan). The Monster in Frankenstein definitely shows evidence of having objectives and achieving them. After discovering fire and what uses it may have, the Monster says, “’I busied myself in collecting a great quantity of wood, that I might dry it, and have a plentiful supply of fire’” (Shelley 99).

  • Morenoff And Astor Argumentative Analysis

    Daniel Garcia TH 1:30-2:50pm March 14, 2017 Advanced Concepts in Criminal Justice From the works of Morenoff and Astor, we are to explain why crime might be higher among second generation immigrant Americans. Though there are many assimilation theories which coincides with this, Portes and Zhou’s theory of segmented assimilation stands up to be the strongest of them all. My reasoning behind it is based on the array of the data from Morenoff and Astor collected in this article and my own interpretation which I experienced first hand. The article shows segmented assimilation branching out to two main scenarios of the straight line assimilation, the positive and the negative. Segmented assimilation is carried though by the immigrants themselves or by their offspring adopting aspects of the culture in which they 're residing in.

  • A Brief Comparison Of Two Articles

    907 Words  | 4 Pages

    The two articles I read about ObamaCare, A Brief History of ObamaCare Disaster and The Great Exchange War of 2013, both discussed the issues of ObamaCare. However, the articles differed in their opinions, facts, and the messages they conveyed to the reader. The articles had contradicting opinions about ObamaCare, and when comparing and contrasting the two articles, I focused on the appeals, objectivity, and the authority of the author to determine whether or not the articles were valid sources. Article one, A Brief History of ObamaCare Disaster, contains a great deal of logos and a fair bit of pathos. Article one discusses the negative side of ObamaCare, and presents the reader with facts on the various ways ObamaCare has negatively impacted

I'm not saying you need to be the smartest person ever to be successful, but you at least have to be smart enough. Gladwell mentions that "Langan’s IQ is 30 percent higher than Einstein’s.
