“College Uneducation”
College education means that a person who attains it should be very knowledgeable in the subject or field they choose to specialize. It also serve as the framework of their life because whatever career they want to attain after graduating college will be base in what they decided to take during their college. Secondary education is learning the basic principles in different fields like science, arts and mathematics. It serves as their foundation for their college education. A college educated student should value their competency in the subject more than money they can earn with their degree.
Bookworship
Book worship for me is like making the books as the center of your thinking. You base every action of yours and even decisions on what the book says about. An example of this is when you just memorize everything in the book without even understanding it. I have a classmate who is good at memorizing things so whenever we have exams on subjects that require memorization she would always top at it. But there was a time when our teacher gave us an essay of a topic and we must answer it the way we understand the topic. After a week or so our teacher gave back our paper and my classmate was shocked because she got low score and inquires our teacher about it. Our teacher said that her answer was not her understanding about the topic but what she just read in the book and just copied it word for word. We read books so that we can understand things and expand our knowledge, not just to read it for the purpose of memorizing it.
Professional Philistinism Professional Philistinism is choosing the area of profession not because you really want it but because of its popularity and the influence of the people surrounding you. Like the case of my cousin who took mechanical engineering because his mother wanted his son to be an engineer but my cousin wanted to become a pilot. Since he doesn’t really like engineering, he took his course
