Soc 370 #7 sam old same old = too much pressure 10-28-2013

Classroom at Carthage College

So we all can be asked to imagine a classroom and even though we all view different things  they would still be really similar. Is sitting in the same style of room that looks so much like every other room a bad thing? If the class room was more informal and express full would we do better in class and in the workforce  I went to Carthage college for a year and one thing I really miss a lot is the class rooms. There where the typical class rooms but also glass window rooms. When the college would give campus tours they would tell us at he glass rooms to make faces and be distracting. The students in that room where learning a important lesson to be focused  I also find it really interesting we all learn the same things basic of things. Written, history, math, science   and so forth. I feel that that is a good thing for all students to learn basics that make them connected in their ideas and what they understand. It also puts a bit more pressure on me as a student to learn other things other people and students might not know to get ahead. So just for fun a few things I have learned that make me stand out. I have learned how to crack cried card codes. Before you jump to ideas it's not to brake into accounts or anything like that. What it really is a mathematical formula to use to see if a card is fake or real. The history behind it is interesting as well. I have also learned that the body can be drained of all blood in 8.6 seconds giving the right vacuuming system. I have learned how to socialize animals that have been abused and neglected. So after learning all odd facts and skill that interest me and I feel set me apart from other that already know all I know. Is it a good think I feel like all students feel like this that all other students in there know the same stuff and then feel the need to make themselves have sow thing to catch people's attention?So even though I think globalization is good could it be pushing students to have more pressure to make themselves stand out.

  1. I agree that having the same standards and learning the same main categories can pressure students to stand out, but is that necessarily a bad thing? The pressure to be unique or to go beyond the standards has arguably led to some of the most remarkable innovations of our time. I think that this is one of the positive effects of globalizations and global standards: the push to emerge from the herd and be recognized as great.
