    As you read in the WR last week, writers cite borrowed information by providing a signal phrase, page number if a printed source, url in case of a picture taken from the web, etc. One exception to this rule, however, is whenever the information is common knowledge. Common knowledge is a term applicable to any piece of information that is widely available in basic sources about the subject. In a paper about psychology, for instance, you wouldn’t need to cite that Freud is considered to be the “father of psychology” or that he developed theories about the interpretation of dreams and repression mechanisms, as these are well known, widely published facts which can be found in any basic source relating to Freud, such as Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia.…

    With living costs as high as they are in this day and age, it is completely unreasonable to expect the average individual to squander already limited resources. Receiving a bachelor's degree today requires an assortment of classes that often are not directly related to one's career objectives. For some, they find this to be an enjoyable adventure, broadening their knowledge and learning about new aspects of life, but for others this is just burdensome. However it is looked upon, the college curriculum still requires a diverse selection of courses to develop well rounded, responsible individuals, but in turn creates added pressure upon students.…

    In his paper, “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge,” Gettier refutes the traditional Justified True Belief account of knowledge by providing counterexamples that show that while the conditions provided by the JTB account are necessary, they fall short of being sufficient for knowledge. Klein’s paper, “A Proposed Definition of Propositional Knowledge,” suggests a fourth condition with which to amend the JTB account so that it provides both necessary and sufficient conditions for knowledge. In this paper I will explain the what JTB account of knowledge is and what it is designed to do, how and why Gettier’s counterexamples proves that this traditional account fails, and finally…

    In order to know what the Harvard Report means by general education, I should start with a definition summarized from the different parts of the report. In terms of the Harvard report, I think general education is a system of higher education designed to foster in students the desire and capacity to learn, think critically, and communicate proficiently with both nature and society, and also to function as engaged citizens. It is distinguished by a flexible curriculum that allows for student choice and demands breadth and depth of study as well, and by a student-centered pedagogy that is interactive and requires students to engage directly with critical texts and activity within and outside of the classroom.…

    The requirement of general education improves a student’s common knowledge and enforces doing more than the bare minimum to obtain one’s dream career. Despite many surveys proving the importance of the core courses, many people do not believe education should be broad based in liberal arts. Not only will the liberal arts courses positively affect someone in the workplace, but also make him or her a more educated person to impact society. These courses expand the range of opportunities a person has, since the specifics learned for any major could change within the next few years. An employer may look for someone who is knowledgeable in a specific area, but has a background of another. With the background of a liberal arts education, a person will seem more appealing to an employer because of the demand of adaptability.…

    Our curriculum dates far back to 400 A.D. The Roman Empire was in complete disarray. Luckily, a highly intelligent member of the Roman Proconsul named Martianus Capella confronted and diagnosed the problem. During this time of conflict it was truly a possibility that one may be taken thousands of miles away due to disjointed authority and foreign conflict. One may even find themselves in strange place where the people spoke an unfamiliar language. Capella stated ever so eloquently that to be prepared and survive in this constantly changing society we must know everything, or as close to it as we can get (Dutch). Indeed, this seems unlikely. However, acquiring a general education will surely aid one in this process. As soon as we graduate’s high school, society expects us to either go to a community college, four year institution or enter into a vocational career. If a student takes the college route, they are required to take general education classes. As a student participating in the process of acquiring a general education like many young adults today, we may start to question the importance of general education. General education provides a wide variety of courses in fields such as history, art, language and science. These courses are offered to provide rudimentary instruction and essential skills in specific areas such as, math, science and history. It is imperative that general education be continued to not only prepare students for a changing world, to give an overview of knowledge that allows an informed decision to be made, but most importantly, to decide on a major.…
