Nikolas Rose's Analysis

Mike Rose argument was different in terms of content and the evidence he used. Rose is trying to explain that our culture has a series of assumption towards intelligence. We assume “intelligence is closely associated with formal education- the type of schooling a person has”. People now believe that work requiring less schooling requires less intelligence. He’s saying this assumption is wrong. He uses anecdotes from his personal experiences and historical stories about his family accomplishments has evidence to clarify and support his argument. I think his argument his convincing based on the way he use step by step examples to describe how each family member didn’t have much schooling to being successful. For instance; his mom was only a waitress, but during her work experience she solved both technical problems and human problems very well. Joe was a foreman who learnt more and more about the auto industry (the machinery and production process). With further promotion has a supervisor he solved more problems and also found more problems to solve. Overall, many kinds of physical work don’t require a high literacy level, but it requires much reading. Workers may lack formal education or knowledge, but they are not less intelligence. These workers gain hands on knowledge through direct experience which made

This author’s portrait is from a manuscript called Roman de la rose that was written by Jeanne de Montbaston, however, Roman de la rose was originally composed by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun. The manuscript was written somewhere between 1351 and 1375 in France. This version of the Roman de la rose is located in the National Library of France in Paris. The manuscript can be identified by the number btv1b6000307m. The author's art is located on folio 1 recto and it takes up the whole page with the painting being mostly on the top half of the page with text and two small pictures on the lower half. The artist chose to use red and blue paints as well as gold tin for the medium.

Being two of the most respected and qualified academicians on public policy, Charles Murray, and Robert B. Reich have never been short of making controversial and contradicting statements which arguably serves only their interest of getting an audience. Public policy as it is has been subjected to lots of changes throughout the history leading to different reactions and opinions from different individuals. “What it means to be a Libertarian-A Personal Interpretation” written by Charles Murray, explicitly describes how the society should view the government by claiming it can help in achieving overall happiness and allowing members of the society to have a right to individual freedom when coping with the changes brought by public policy. On the other hand, Robert B. Reich’s “Aftershock the next Economy and America’s Future” talks about overcoming our problems by keeping a tier of classes. This paper discusses the contradicting views of these two writers.

The book starts with a discussion on, what does it mean to be a liberal and what events take place to thrust these political ideals into our political environment? To be a liberal has meant different things at different time in our history. For purposes of this book, Brinkley focuses on what it means to be a liberal at the turn of the twentieth century. The concept of “progressivism” or “reform” liberalism begins to take shape “the belief in the interconnectedness of society, and thus in the need to protect individuals, communities, and the government itself from excessive corporate power,

Tradition is losing its value; people want to experience new things rather than the same routine. In One Perfect Rose, Dorthy Parker changes the emotional feel the readers get from the beginning, then how it is towards the end of the poem. Emphasizing how she is tired of the traditional rose and hints her admirer in breaking away from the perfect rose. Her love story impacts how she wrote and definitely resembles in the poem. She also uses imagery and repetition to get her message clear on leaving the typical rose behind.

The further development of industrialisation led to social and economic inequality. This led to a revision of classical liberal ideas to prevent the spread of ignorance and poverty. It is suggested that modern liberals have betrayed classical liberal ideas as they embrace collectivism and diverge from classical liberalism on issues such as freedom. However, it can be argued that modern liberals have simply built on classical liberal ideas such as its commitment to the individual.

In the short story “Rose” by John Biguenet, he uses symbolism to express the pain he has for his son’s death. Biguenet writes that “And he remembered that as he turned toward the flashing red light, lifting his eyes over the roses…”. I feel like this is how Biguenet expressed what his last memory was before he got the news about his son. This poem is full of examples somewhat like this one. I know from the poem that all he thought about was the roses he saw before hearing the news about his son’s death. Biguenet uses many hidden symbolic objects to express how he feels about his son’s death.

In Ellis W. Hawley’s “The Discovery and Study of a ‘Corporate Liberalism’”, he suggests looking at Progressivism in a new lens. Hawley introduces the conflict between the wealthy who owed their position to the business standards of laissez-faire that were minimally regulated by the government and the lower ranking workers who depended on the political power they wielded with welfare statism. However, this conflict, known as liberal vs. conservative, cast aside other parts of society that did not fit into this clear cut system. The uncovering of these misfits, or Progressivism, caused confusion, which Hawley works to clear up through the procession of his text by explaining the true nature of the misfits: corporate liberalism.

In the article “Blue-Collar Brilliance”, Mike Rose’s main focus was to convey that there are forms of intelligence than just being intellectual. Rose, suggest that a broader perspective of education allow us to expand our understanding of what intelligence is. Rose explains what our culture views as intelligence: “Our cultural iconography promotes the muscled arm; sleeve rolled tight against biceps, but no brightness behind the eye, no image that links hand and brain” (Rose). In making this comment, Rose urges us to take a step back and to look society’s perception of blue-collar work as not as demanding or requiring as much brain powering as white-collar work. Often people do not realize that a person who has a blue-collar job is just as

While we have been busy feuding between the two parties we have not even noticed the transition our country has taken. Today we are so far from the Constitution and we are now skirting the edge of tyranny. Throughout the years, political scientist and philosophers have expanded on a wide array ideologies, or types of governments that can be organized. These types of government are for the most part, equally limited. Therefore, a state being governed under the principles of liberalism does not usually practice socialism. These political ideologies have played an essential role in

$4,428,000. This is the average amount female basketball players earn compared to male basketball players who earn an average of $4,500,000. Now, that is only one sport, there are many other sports where the pay ratio is drastically different between the two. For example golf, females earn $811,000 less than males, tennis, 54% less and soccer, $177,831 less. Neither male nor female college athletes should be paid, because of pressure, good grades, and scholarships.

Over many centuries, society tends to frame the obscene differences to antagonize and alienate each other whether it's about a political or religious view, social reasons, or financial situations. In “Blue Collar Brilliance”, Mike Rose provides an invigorating story to persuade his audience to understand that having a blue collar job compared to a white-collar job does not determine how smart someone is. Rose uses anecdotes, rhetorical question, and logos to show that blue-collar workers learn just as much without a formal education.

We spend many police and legal resources to investigate, hold trials, and punish drug offenders, and in the last 10 years, the number of drug offenders still remain very high. Also, repeat offenders count for no less than 90% of drug offenders each year from 2007 to 2011 . This data indicates the way we fight drugs is not efficient, and that those who return to society from the correctional facilities is not

Moravcsik argues in “Taking Preferences Seriously...” that state policy is the result of internal factors – including identity, economics, and the internal system of governance – what he calls a “bottom-up” approach,4 and that a state 's actions have more complex roots than Realism 's proposal of survival, power, etc. According to Moravcsik, we cannot assume

Through ancient times and evolution of history ethics has always been viewed as a center of societies of mankind, embracing practical nature links it with many other areas of study, including anthropology, biology, economics, history, politics, sociology, and theology with the teaching of Western philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, or Asia with the view of Confucius, Lao-tzu or Meng Tzu etc. Yet, “ethics remains distinct from such disciplines because it is not a matter of factual knowledge in the way that the sciences and other branches of inquiry are. Rather, it has to do with determining the nature of normative theories
