Dr Keith Sheep Philosophical Gold Nuggets Summary

192 Words1 Page

In my opinion Dr. Keith Insheep’s “philosophical gold nuggets” is unique to others. His article elaborates the different characters of past and current graduate program by comparing several key elements in graduate life.
Even though Dr. Insheep didn’t made any judgement towards the changes, there are several quotable experiences. Firstly, in the past, professors earn more respect from the students. Nowadays, some student keep complain how tired they are and how puss their advisor is, but they have forgotten that the tough road was chosen by themselves. It’s wise to appreciate such a great opportunity to learn from excellent scientist and study with intelligent peer. Also, having a good relationship with professors might gain a mentor for your

  • John Muir's Ethical Dilemmas

    336 Words  | 2 Pages

    John Muir, a naturalist and preservation pioneer of nature took an ethical stand for land ethics when he shared his thoughts that all living things are equally important parts of the land, and animals and plants have as much right to live and survive as people do. In the 1600’s when Europeans began to settle in North America, there were 1037 million acres of forestland. Today, a little over 700 million acres in the United States is forestland—only thanks to preservation laws. In the 1800’s, that number of tress and forests decreased tremendously because expansion and progression recklessly exploited natural resources by clear-cutting forest to use wood for fuel and building supplies.

  • The Speech Graduates Didn T Hear Summary

    504 Words  | 3 Pages

    I choose to respond to “The Speech Graduates Didn’t Hear”. This essay has several different parts but has the same underline idea, college graduates and students within the past fifty years have not been receiving a proper college education and experience to ready them for when they enter the work force. That college students do not so much earn their grades as hope and wish for them, at which point the professor obliges. Additionally, the author states that colleges are not longer teaching students what they require to succeed in their chosen careers. Beginning with the first several paragraphs of the essay, “The Speech Graduates Didn’t Hear”, the author Jacob Neusner, states that they are teaching students for a world that does not exist.

  • Analyzing The Chronicle Of Higher Education At A State University By Marty Nemko

    590 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Chronicle of Higher Education is a newspaper and magazine that is read mainly by university faculty and administrators. The intended audience of this piece should be graduating high school seniors and their parents, and even current college students. By appearing in the periodical that it did, this essay is merely telling a lot of people that the establishments they work for are doing everything wrong and being misleading. Telling an entire subscribed base of readers that their jobs are conniving, taking money from students and providing little value in return, was a disadvantage. I feel as though this essay would have done much better in a magazine or journal that would easier reach students, parents, or high school guidance counselors because they would directly benefit from being aware of the information

  • Education Vs 1960s

    Education:                         “Higher Education was the privilege of the few, and even upper secondary education was denied to the majority of young people in many countries” (“Fifty Years”). “Today, the great majority of the population completes secondary education.

  • Chris Mccandless A Transcendentalist Analysis

    663 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the short story, “Death of an Innocent” by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless travels into the Alaskan wilderness with the intention of relying completely on himself. In the true spirit of transcendentalism, McCandless travels to escape the bounds of society and to remove himself from a materialistic world. Many argue, however, that Chris McCandless was not a transcendentalist because he travels to exotic lands as a means of avoidance, but actually, Chris McCandless is the epitome of a transcendentalist. Transcendentalists, however, rely on themselves and nature to survive and do not depend on material items. Transcendentalists romanticize individualism and believe that intuition is the best guide through life.

    Most of the faculty members nationwide is in their mid-fifties, within approximately 10 years of retirement. These two issues are connecting with each other because increasing the age of undergraduate students will lead to increase professors’ ages in the future because student today will be professors tomorrow. I think the solution for this issue is offering more help for the high school students to enroll in the universities after graduating. In addition, starting programs to provide funds for students to start their own jobs with low interest to improve their standards of

    William K. Clifford’s “The Ethics of Belief” is an essay about justification and how we are morally required to prove our beliefs. Clifford’s theory throughout the essay was “It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.” Clifford thinks that it is a moral obligation for you to confirm each of your beliefs with sufficient proof, no matter how questionable or insignificant the beliefs may be. I believe he thinks this because beliefs have serious effects and consequences on others.
