My overall thoughts of burning books is that it is very wrong. I agree and disagree

The Giver: A Critique The purpose of this book was to show us a possible version of a "Utopia". It was a fantasy oriented book‚ that was suppose to make you think about the possibilities for the future. The setting is a supposedly perfect society where everyone is taken care of and no one is different. The author Lois Lowry does a fine job portraying this supposedly "ideal" society. This book began with a description of sameness and release the two general principles the society functions

The Fatality of Failure: A Critique Mary Sherry’s article‚ In Praise of the F Word‚ delves into the negative effects of increasingly popular no-fail policies being used in the United States public school system. She describes how such practices deprive students of their rightful education.

Critiques of Taylorism Taylorism promotes the idea that there is "one right way" to do something. As such‚ it is at odds with current approaches such as MBO (Management By Objectives)‚ Continuous Improvement initiatives‚ BPR (Business Process Reengineering)‚ and other tools like them. These promote individual responsibility‚ and seek to push decision making through all levels of the organization. The idea here is that workers are given as much autonomy as practically possible‚ so that they
