University fees
Nowadays, although universities have become more available than in the past, fees are rising. Sometimes the fees are reaching a level that is not affordable by for many students. Moreover, availability of jobs for graduates has declined due to the increasing number of graduates.
This dilemma, in turn, makes some people think that universities should not teach liberal arts subjects, like philosophy and history, and only offer practical degree courses that may increase the job-finding opportunities of finding a job. From a practical point of view, this may work, and will enhance the cost-benefit ratio of the educational process. Moreover, this attitude will make it easier to create new fields of employment.
Unfortunately, if we adopted this point of view, many liberal arts subjects will be endangered. These arts fields of study have are of paramount importance in developing our discernment and insight, and comprise a fundamental parts in of our development as human beings. No doubt, teaching liberal arts directly affects our behaviours and our morals, which in fact, greatly outweighs money concerns.
In my opinion, teaching liberal arts should be maintained and encouraged, and we have to raise the public awareness of its value. On the other hand, governmental bodies should take part in setting limits to the rising university fees.0 votedJanuary 27, 20183- Predigital social-science standbys: "Pre-" means before, so "predigital" is "before digital." This means "before modern technology." Social science is something relating to social behavior. A standby is something that is reliable, or very common. So this means "two reliable concepts that came before modern technology and relate to social behavior." A meme is a bit more complicated. It is an item or a concept that is shared many times ("viral" as they put it). It comes from the French word "même," which usually means "same." "First process" does refer to memes, yes! :)0 votedJanuary 27, 20182
- It comes from the expression "to put on a front," which is like wearing a mask or being deceptive. Usually, it's when someone acts in a nice way when they might not really be that nice. I would say that saying someone is "fronting" could be considered rude, yes. Sometimes it's associated with criminal activity, like "covering up" something. I think if you're friends with someone, it wouldn't hurt to use it in that way. But if you say it to a stranger, it might be rude. There's no single word to say the same thing, that I know of.0 votedJanuary 27, 20182
