Creating an Online Community College Course for High School
Students
[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses a case study in which a
community college wants to create a course for high school
seniors in a particular region outlining what students should
expect regarding a college education. With an effective Internet
presence, the college believes it can help these students
understand the challenges of college, how to meet those
challenges, and, hopefully, choose their institution as the place
to begin their college career. However, marketing the community
college is very much secondary to exposing students to topics
such as how to choose classes, how to budget both time and
finances, and choosing a major. Bibliography lists one source.

Critical Thinking And Intellectuals In Contemporary Society
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. In Plato's Allegory of the Cave, the author advocates the presence of philosopher-kings; in fact, he claims public service is the duty of those who have (metaphorically) ascended to the sunlight, admonishing those intellectuals of his time not to turn their backs upon those who still reside within the darkness, inasmuch as their responsibility is to teach and to lead. The type of critical thinking Shaw describes clearly corresponds to Plato's Allegory, which is to get back to the very basics of human interaction. The role that critical thinking plays within contemporary American society is one that is quickly dwindling in social importance; indeed, the role it should
play is one that is as integral to human survival as
breathing is. In American popular culture today, the past thirty years has demonstrated an anti-intellectual tendency that appeared to have reached its peak approximately ten to fifteen years ago. When one considers the reason(s) for this drastic change and the impact anti-intellectualism has had upon government and public institutions, one can easily surmise that technology has played a significant role. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
