Reading and Writing Critically

What Socrates saying in “What True Education Should Do” by Sydney J. Harris, is that it is not good for a person to learn the information if they having trouble understanding it and have to study it but it's more about the drawing of what is in the mind. I do agree with him, the reason why I am agreeing is that nowadays There are so many materials to education that we have to study into them, and sometimes we missed the main purpose of the materials. For example, when it comes to the subject math there are so many formulas that we have to learn and we have to study them so it's very hard for us to understand it. The same connection with this article and the article College Pressures is that students are feeling overwhelmed with so much information and things they have to study for instead of expressing their own opinion on how they want to learn it. The main of the Sidney Harris reading is that With education there are two aspects of grasping what is taught to us. Where it states “I spend so much time studying that I don't have a chance to learn anything”, “I spend so much time studying that I don't have a chance to learn anything...“is this instruction of man in what he has inside of him”,” When most people think of the word education, they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers are supposed to stuff education”, “ what should “go into” the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. “. This is showing us that A professor could teach a lesson because of how the lesson is taught the student may only feel like they understand it in that way instead of using information that they know that's within them.

  When you wake up in the morning, do you grab your phone and go straight to social media?  There are a lot of people who do that on a daily basis and don’t even notice it.  We are so stuck on what we receive from social media that sometimes we begin to think of it as the truth. The article “Americans Who Mainly Get Their News on Social Media Are Less Engaged, Less Knowledgeable by BY AMY MITCHELL, MARK JURKOWITZ, J. BAXTER OLIPHANT, and ELISA SHEARER. Where it states” ...These U.S. adults, for instance, tend to be less likely than other news consumers to closely follow major news stories, such as the coronavirus outbreak and the 2020 presidential election.”.  This is showing us the news that is reposted on social media and we began to believe that it is true.  We see others posting about their opinion and we get caught up with other people agreeing, thinking that they know all the facts, in all honesty, no one does.  This statement also shows us that we rely more on people’s statement

The song stand by me has been remade in so many different ways but with this song and the video, it changes the whole perspective.  The song “Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World” which was Published November 6, 2008.  The main purpose is to bring everyone closer, but if we look more into it you will see so many different cultures, you will see they are all playing music on the street and all dress differently.  The relationship between the band playing seems as if they are connected.  As the song plays in the beginning you will see a man singing alone but also he has every instrument he needs set up to sing the song.  This is similar to the other band players because what they can relate to is the instruments that they are using and playing.  You see that they are all using headphones.  This was all recorded from one person, it took this person over several years to get this whole video done.  Just because they had to fly to every state and country that was listed

 Anhala Woodbine 1101 English  9/20/2020 Is Cheerleading An Actual Sport?  When you think of cheerleading, do you ever think of it as a sport?   I know I do, most people don't think of it as a sport, but it plays so many roles. When cheerleading first started, it was all men in the 1800s. They didn't allow women until 1923. At first, cheerleading was not a sport just a crowd cheering on a football team. Over time it started to grow larger, they started to teach students more complicated routines, stunts, and jumps. This event made All-Star a sport. They begin to focus more on competition and athletic training. Cheerleaders do so much we barely notice, they carry their teammates as they do flips, or even throw them up in the air. As you see other sports at practice everyday cheerleaders are there as well practicing on they stunt, jumps, flips, and dances. When it comes to competition cheerleading, you have to make sure you are sharp that your dance and stunts are way different f
