Con of College
The last blog that I wrote I talked about what I admired about being in college in participating in class. Not to also mention, all the amazing perks to live on campus like our very own game room and grocery store with a breathtaking scenery!
However, now I will talk about what I experienced in college and what I dislike about college.
In college, it is the center and the place of all the ideas of people living in it and attending the university. This university and should all others as well, should be educating the general population and igniting conversations just about anything in the spectrum including, life, beliefs, controversial issues, and knowledge and wisdom. This should be the salad of ideas.
What I have been seeing is that this educational campus is pretty shocking from my two most prominent classes of all, US History & Government. What I have seen is my professors can overwhelmingly be really biased and not give platforms for students to engage in a conversation that might be different to the way they are thinking. It shocked me because again, college is the gateway to ideas and should be teaching us how to critically think, not telling us what to think. I am a very controversial person because I probably think differently from the way other students think about many issues and ideas. Either way, professors should be giving multiple perspectives on what has happened in this country and not just give one perspective and then move on. If you only show one side, and completely disregard all other explanations and rationales, you are indoctrinating, not educating. I will gladly discuss with professors in a professional manner also with students if a chance is given or the opportunity rises up. This is my one concern with University's in general because they are teaching & grooming the next generation.
Most professors are open minded and are willing to discuss, and yet again, there is no complete censorship on material that can be talked about! So again, let's have some conversations shall we? :)
I still love college way better than High School Though!
