No matter how many strengths there are‚ there is bound to have weaknesses. Starting with Linda Albert‚ the one weakness that I see her philosophy having is that students may take advantage of the teacher/student delegations. Some students may find that‚ since they have a voice in the process of creating the classroom rules‚ they may find it as a perfect opportunity to how they would want the class to run. The second weakness‚ that I found that Albert’s philosophy instilled is the lack of implementation

The definition of the American Dream is an important theme that is woven throughout the attitudes and actions of Arthur Miller’s characters in his play The Death of A Salesman. Happy Loman‚ a character dominated by his material greed and desire to crush anyone standing between him and the almighty dollar‚ represents a skewed perspective of that Dream‚ a perspective shared by an increasingly large amount of Americans. Through his insatiable appetite for power‚ lust‚ and wealth‚ Happy Loman embodies

I’d like to know why Barnard College was so harsh to Linda LeClair. Yes‚ I know she lied to them‚ but she just wanted to live off campus and do her own thing. Why is that wrong? Plus‚ when she was confronted she openly told them her real name and that she lived off campus. “After five hours of deliberation‚ the committee announced that as punishment for deceiving the administration about where she lived‚ LeClair would be ‘denied the privilege of using the following college facilities: the snack bar

Linda Pastan via “Ethics” explores the importance of experience and leads the reader through a psychological journey with an overlaying philosophical question: “If there were a fire in a museum / which would you save‚ a Rembrandt painting / or an old woman who hadn’t many / years left anyhow?” (3-6) Pastan brilliantly structures her poem to alter the central question so that it appears more difficult to answer. By leaving "a Rembrandt painting" at the end of line 4 and "years left anyhow" at line
