Liberal Arts Any form of studying has got a scope, a time limit and must achieve some objectives at the end of the day. There are goals that the learner needs to meet as well in learning liberal arts. Based on the previous papers and projects on this subject, this discussion will focus on the achievement of the course aims, critical analysis of life problems and other issues. It is imperative for students, especially for those, who are pursuing liberal arts, to master the art of communication. This gives them an edge in various areas including presentations, discussions, and speeches. In the Arms to Arms Company, for instance, you need to tolerate every child and respond to their needs. Some people hardly know how to speak verbally, so you have to read their moods in order to understand when they need some assistance. Their parents must be handled in some way too. There are times when they may seem unhappy about one or two things and, as customers, must be treated with …show more content…
We can learn it from “A 5-year analysis of online political discussions on emotions, public opinion, and the U.S Presidential approval rates”. We see quite clearly that you cannot talk about politics and ignore governance. The moment you speak of governance you will undoubtedly touch on security, healthcare, economy and other things even before you realize it. In addition to that, analyzing online political discussions and gathering website information requires knowledge of the internet technology and know how it affects the flow of information, social networks, and political engagements. You must also be aware of natural language processing, artificial intelligence and data mining techniques. This is a clear manifestation that Social Sciences are interwoven, and this overlap broadens understanding of the liberal arts because there is a lot to

An author’s way of writing and portraying a character are one of the important things to note when reading a novel. Whether they use third or first person as their view point, have their main character have an underlying dark secret that is not revealed until the end of the novel. However an author wishes to write their novel, there is always a drawback to it. Kazuo Ishiguro’s way of writing his novel Never Let Me Go is in a first person perspective where the narrator, Kathy H., reassess her life of being a clone but the way Kathy remembers and discusses her memories of living in Hailsham is hindered by the fact she inputs her own feelings and thoughts into what happened in the past.
Do you think its fair that players are credited for what they do, when cheating the game? Mark McGwire excelled at the game of baseball and got credit for all of his accomplishments, yet he cheated the game and used steroids. Babe Ruth, considered one of the greatest baseball players to play the game of baseball, who never cheated and set a great example for all who play baseball. Baseball has drastically changed over the years, especially in the cheating scandals of steroids; Babe Ruth set a great example by excelling in the sport and doing it clean, contrasting with Mark McGwire. Their existence shows how society accepted honesty and doing it the clean way in Babe’s era and how society accepts the scandals and dishonesty of Mark’s era.
A liberal arts core or curriculum is defined as the areas of study or learning that cultivate intellectual thinking and ideas rather than technical work or skills. By providing work within this curriculum students can achieve excellence throughout their college career. Although there is this aspect, a liberal arts core is often questioned if it is really necessary for a successful college career. This paper will discuss how and why a liberal arts curriculum is important as well as how this curriculum can lead to pursuing excellence during a college career as well as having success after college.
Mary Wollstonecraft, a women’s rights advocate in the year 1792 summed it up perfectly when she said, “I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.” She is describing the fight within every woman in the Feminist Movement that began in the 1700’s and extended throughout the late 20th century. This powerful motion was a drive to address the debated issues of reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women’s suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. As time has passed, feminists have pushed extremely hard to gain equal rights and respect from their male counterparts. Unfortunately in today’s world, society still puts an emphasis on a women’s exterior beauty. They emphasize it in magazines, television commercials, and even the infamous beauty pageant. The industry of beauty pageants is growing rapidly, jeopardizing the continuous work of many women’s rights advocates, throwing away the continuing efforts for equal rights (Miss America, 2011).
In modern times, the importance of liberal arts is questioned. The article “Myth: A Liberal Arts Education is Becoming Irrelevant” by Carol T. Christ makes the argument that a liberal arts education provides a broader range of knowledge which is useful because it produces a critically thinking student. Obtaining a career is the main focus of college education. Knowing this, Christ emphasizes how a liberal arts education is useful when looking for employment. She refutes the conception that a liberal arts education is irrelevant in today’s society by identifying the useful qualities it provides the employers look for such as, “Flexibility, creativity, critical thinking, strong communication skills (particulary writing)” (Christ,
As the world becomes more specialized it raises the question, should undergraduate institutions change their curriculum requirements to better equip students? The goal of a liberal arts education is to enlighten individuals and prepare them for the complex and diverse world by requiring the study of literature, philosophy, mathematics, and sciences. As professional careers evolve into more specialized fields the argument that a liberal education is no longer needed rises. Some educators feel that future professionals would be better primed for the future by focusing specifically on subjects that deal with their intended field. However, a liberal arts education provides benefits that go beyond the classroom. The experience of studying a wide range of material makes an individual well rounded, creates opportunities, and allows for personal evaluation. Broadening one’s knowledge in vast areas develops communication, problem-solving skills, and social responsibility regardless of intended careers.
In today’s world students and adults who can use the power of public speaking are a rare find. Lucas states in chapter one that “the American Management Association asked 2,000 managers and executives to rank the skills most essential in today’s workplace. The top idea, was communication skills” (Lucas, 2012 pg. 5). This statement showes us that college students who have taking public speaking truly have an advantage over those who have
(AACU) there are other kinds of education than a liberal education. The AACU defines the liberal arts as a distinctive field of study that we commonly learn in school, such as Artes Liberales and General Education. “Artes Liberales” is more of a modern foundation of the liberal arts and dwells on the technical subjects of life, while “General Education” provides a broader development of teaching. As time continued, education in the twenty- first century did as well. During the twentieth century, liberal education was an option for those who were lucky enough to have an education, but now it has become a necessity for every student to grow successfully in life. Although, from AACU Practicing Liberal Education: Formative Themes in the Reinvention of Liberal Learning, Carol Geary Schneider’s says that liberal education fosters “life long learning” and “active engagement” with what we have learned. She states that practicing this type of education affects the American society to feel uncertain about the traditional definition of “liberal education.” Reinventing the theme as we practice this method will prepare to develop a higher standardized education, for example, rational analysis and judgment, “social responsibility and civic engagement,” and “integrative and culmination learning. ” In terms of Schneider’s conception, there will be a dispute against society and
The irony is that speaking to others is one of the most important, if not the most important, professional and personal skill students must have to be successful (Doyle 88). The student needs to understand the importance of this skill and realize that in the future many opportunities and career successes are directly impacted by working with others. Students are also encouraged to take charge of their learning. Giving the student control and as many choices is a good way to optimized their learning.
Education plays a very important role in a person’s life. Basic education is attained through primary school and high school. Education may be further perused after graduating from high school by attending university. This decision can make a person’s future brighter because, in most cases it is really hard to get a well-paid job and live a stable life without having a bachelor’s degree. However, people who want to peruse higher education must know that although there are similarities, there are also some differences between high school and university in terms of assignments, teachers, and responsibilities.

One of the main aspects in communicating is listening. An effective listener is one who, not only comprehends how the speaker feels but, also understands what they are stating. Building a strong connection between the speaker and the listener is one of the first steps to become a good listener. By building this connection speakers should first be in an environment with open minded listeners, it makes them feel more comfortable to state their opinions, feelings and ideas. Listeners should avoid being judgmental. The individual does not have to agree with the ideas, values or opinions of the speaker; however, to fully understand them, one must put aside their criticism. Speakers will believe that they can trust the listeners with their information when they know that they will not be judged. Miscommunication happens frequently, listene...
