  • The Perils Of Higher Ed By Steven Kotter Summary

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the article “The Perils of Higher Ed” by Steven Kotler, Steven explained how alcohol, bad eating habits, and lack of sleep would affect college students’ lives for the better or worst. I would agree with Kotler that lack of sleep doesn’t help college students to remember what they learned because they are only getting about six hours of sleep which is not enough. So when students sleep less, their chances of memory loss increased.

    John Calvin sparked a theological revolution when he introduced the practice of Calvinism during the 14th century. This ideology suggested spiritual predestination: a conclusion that man had already been picked to go to Hell or Heaven before his life had even begun. While only a few are safe from doom, Calvin’s argument established that the majority of mankind comes into this world already wicked. Humans are not born evil, for their brain does not have any type of moral comprehension or cognitive understanding of evil at the beginning. Evil grows as a product of the environment and the choices made by a person to perform wicked acts.
