Compare And Contrast Montaigne And Nodelman
Montaigne and Nodelman are advocating for the children. They are trying to bring awareness to the adults that for their selfish needs and the children are the ones paying for their selfishness. The way they are teaching the children at home or in school it is for the benefit for the adults. Children are more than capable than looking adorable for everyone around them to admire. If taught correctly and challenged to their capabilities they can accomplish a lot.

    Compare And Contrast Montag And Beatty

    In contrast to Beatty, Montage is a character who went through from a literary darkness to self-enlightenment. At first, Montage was ignorant as shown that he enjoyed burning books. But as he met Clarisse, his curiosity has led him to question things in ways he has never done before. Clarisse sparked his curiosity to question things when she asked him whether he was happy. Later on, he was confronted by knowledge as he sees the old lady willing to sacrifice for books. This has led him to reflect on their importance. Montage was eventually determined to gain more knowledge and find greater significance in his life. “Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means…

    Similarities Between Harrison Bergeron And Outliers

    She had interest in parenting styles, racial issues, and social class. She conducted a research on parenting styles, it was called concerted cultivation vs. natural growth. She and her researchers studied over 80 families. Lareu instructed the families to pay attention to their kids. To spend time with them when they had free time. She called this strategy “the family dog.” Annette discovered that the working class parents pursed an approach called “accomplishment of natural growth.” Whereas middle class families used an approach called “concerted cultivation.” The working class family, had their children exposed mostly to the outdoors, more often you would find them playing with their friends from their neighborhood or siblings. And as for parents in the working class, they spent more time working and waiting for their transportation, they didn’t have time to spend with their children. Working class parents also tended to be more authoritarian. These kids didn’t question anyone with authority. For example, their teachers, principals, or anyone with a higher position. These children were described as quiet, mellow, and uninvolved. They called this parenting style “accomplishment of natural growth.” Furthermore, children in the middle class were completely different from the working class. Their families had more time to spend with them whereas working class didn’t. These families treated their children like “the family dog.” They were accompanied by their parents to their appointment, sport practices, and school activities. These parents made their kids go from one activity to the other. The children in the middle class families were more involved in after school activities and outside clubs. These parents adapted a strategy called “concerted cultivation.” As a result these children questioned authority more and were less quiet. Annette gives an example of this. She describes a little boy named Alex that comes from…

    Comparing Rousseau's Discourse On The Arts And Sciences

    Discourse on the Arts and Sciences is an award winning proposal by Jean-Jacques Rousseau conceived with the intent of addressing the “potentially purifying effects upon morals through the restoration of the arts and sciences.” [p. 1] Rousseau examines the concept of measuring our own self worth with the ability to perform in a manner deemed worthy of the rest of societies approbation. This is explored as Rousseau describes the consequences of “perceiving the principal advantage of an intercourse with the Muses” [p. 3] as creating a more sociable society which will strive to achieve the acceptance of those they coexist alongside. In doing so, Rousseau incorporates the idea that the arts and sciences “stifle in men the sense of original liberty, cause them to love their own slavery, and make of them what is…

    Montaigne's On Cannibalism And On Cruelty

    “Que sais-je?” French for “What do I know?” is the beloved motto of French essayist Michel De Montaigne. Initial readings of Montaigne’s essays appear to be oriented toward self rather than incorporating any communal tones. Yet, close readings reveal this motto is directed collectively towards a Renaissance society. Montaigne, in his essays “On Cannibalism” and “On Cruelty,” is communally asking a European society “what do we know?” by displaying contradictory and arcane aspects of European culture, and presenting parallels of Western society with other “savage” non-European people. However, when reading Montaigne’s essays a question comes to mind: to what end does Montaigne hope to achieve by exposing such disagreeable aspects of European culture? Is he attempting to reform European practices of colonization and ideals of virtue through exposing an immoral nature?…

    Conformity in Fahrenheit 451

    The children in the society are never actually taught during school hours. Captain Beatty, another firefighter, tells Montag that the schools " Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of “facts” they feel stuffed, but absolutely “brilliant” with information” (61). The “teachers” (actually film) stuff the students with “knowledge”, making them feel smart, but they are never taught to question any of the information or form their own opinion on matters. Clarisse says, “Do you know, we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answers at you, bing, bing, bing, and us sitting there for four more hours of film-teacher” (29). In being taught not to question anything, including the law, education supports conformity. In a similar way, entertainment encourages obedience as well.…

    Dynamic Character In Fahrenheit 451

    For the first time in a while, Montag realizes and accepts that he isn’t happy with his relationship or his job. While this is occurring, Clarisse also asks questions about society and what it used to be like. Montag is especially affected when Clarisse talks about how firemen used to put out fires instead of starting them. She asks questions about education and how if you don’t ask questions it’s “like a lot of funnels and a lot of water poured down the spout and out the bottom (page 30).” This tells us that society teaches kids so much information at once that it goes through on ear and out the other. Despite her curiosity, she is presumed as antisocial or not able to fit in when actually, other kids aren’t appreciating Clarisse’s knowledge. Montag is changed by this quality because you see him questioning society and how books shouldn’t be illegal by collecting literature from the houses that he burns. This quality from Clarisse is rubbing off on Montag drastically. Finally, the last way that Clarisse changes Montag is through thinking and reflecting. When Montag first met Clarisse, he realized that she thinks differently than other people in society, maybe a little too much, but it's a…

    AUHSD Research Paper

    If they want to be successful they must be willing to sacrifice themselves and focus more in school. They must be determined to spend more time in a school campus. Students will have less time to waste at home. Adding more time into the school day will mean teachers will be able to teach for a bit longer. It has been proven that by making the school day longer the test score of students increase. For instance there are many schools who offer a longer day for students, such as Knowledge Is Power Program better known as KIPP and The Expanding Learning TIme Initiative. These two programs have increased the academic success of their students. In the research paper “Matitas Bargain” written by Malcolm Gladwell, the author uses an anecdotal story to convince us that KIPP academy should be taken into consideration when wanting to increase the academic success of other schools. The students who attend KIPP academy are not rich kids actually they are the opposite, they are students who live in poor neighborhood and who qualify for free and reduced lunch because their parents can not afford to provide food for them. Students who attend KIPP attend school for a longer period of time with the objective of going to college. Studies have shown that students who go to KIPP have higher reading scores and do better in math and science. “In return, KIPP promises that it will take kids like her who are stuck in poverty and give them a chance to get out. It will get 84 percent of them up to or above their grade level in mathematics. On the strength of that performance, 90 percent of KIPP students get scholarships to private or parochial high schools instead of having to attend their own desultory high schools in the Bronx. And on the strength of that high school experience, more than 80 percent of KIPP graduates will go on to college, in many cases being the first in their family to do so. . . . “ (Gladwell). The students who attend…

    gen me response

    In Generation Me, Jean Twenge lays out her research on the major differences between our generation vs. the Baby Boomer’s generation. Most of what is brought up in Chapters 1 and 2 is right about how our generation focuses on “doing what want and what we love” over respecting other people’s comfort. Although I found myself nodding and agreeing to most of her points, there were a few things I found that she exaggerated a little too much on. In Chapter 2 “An Army of One: Me,” Twenge quotes Maureen Stout: “many educational psychologists believe that schools should be 'places in which children are insulated from the outside world and emotionally - not intellectually - nourished... My colleagues always referred to the importance of making kids feel good about themselves but rarely, if ever, spoke of achievement, ideals, goals, character, or decency,” (clearly an assumption). Growing up in elementary school, although it was quite a while ago, I still remember that my teachers in each grade would always stress on manners and helping/caring for our peers. We were taught to improve our character and to not disrespect our classmates; throughout all of my years in grade school the teaching staff had always emphasized and prioritized our achievements and goals as well. However I do understand that she highlights the importance of people learning to improve their character, which I agree should be necessary to enforce to children at young ages.…

He keeps us assured that Fortunato has no idea and he’s going to take advantage of his knowledge of wine to coax him down to his ultimate death. Fortunato has continuously coughed throughout their tour, so Montresor kept offering him more wine to drink because he was “concerned” for his health.…

    "Waiting for Superman" Visual Rhetoric Paper

    Davis Guggenheim is a father. A father who chose to put his children into private education, but with good reason. He has experienced the public school system and how it’s teachers operate first hand. In 1999, he produced a documentary about these teachers, so he knows what conditions he is working with. This is a key component of Guggenheim's ethos since he has the bias of a father who wants proper education for his children just as most other fathers would. He builds upon this by featuring well known, powerful people into the documentary. These people include: Geoffrey Canada, Michelle Rhee and Bill Gates. Each adds their opinion to the subject. Geoffrey Canada is an educator who admit evens his first few years of teaching were rough. Because Canada states this, the audience is reassured that he knows what it takes to be a successful teacher. What better way to address the teachers union about the importance of high performing teachers than with a high performing teacher? Then there is Michelle Rhee. Rhee was the 7th new chancellor for the Washington D.C. public schools system in 10 years and claims she “knows they’re [kids] getting crappy education.” Her approach to changing the school system is more harsh than Canada's, but Rhee’s views are still…

By using the right approach for that specific child can increase their chance of learning and may also enhance their self-esteem which can be helpful in later life.…

    School is Bad for Children Summary/Response

    In “School Is Bad for Children,” John Holt talks about the faults and failures of modern education. He says that most children are more aware and smarter on the first day of school than at any other time during the process of their education. Holt identifies that the teachers feel like the children don’t understand anything. They treat them as if they were uneducated people who knew nothing. Holt also feels that the children should be able to explore their learning and educate themselves about other things in the world. He wants to try and make education fun for the children instead of doing the same curriculum so the children don’t get bored and feel like they are doing nothing and making no progress in their education. Holt also says that, and I quote, “It is a rare child who can come through his schooling with much left of his curiosity, his independence, or his sense of his own dignity, competence, and worth.” There are many children that are like that, it isn’t rare. Children enjoy learning and furthering their education. The school needs to bring in more teacher aids that can do one-on-one with the students so they feel the school cares about their education.…

    The argument in this article is about whether if children are being challenged in class. I agree to a certain level.First, I think that children aren't being challenged because the teachers are showing sympathy and just letting the children pass the class. Also, the children that are intellectually advanced are seeing the work as easy but, the less educated children are spotting it as hard. Then, when the children get home they are showing their parents the work. The parents are looking at it and labeling it as stressful work for a kid.…
