nope. I was just about to post that and noticed you already had;)
Good ol homing pigeon, almost as humorous and devastating as the exploding granny and the holy hand grenade... almost;)
now thats a reply !:)
Your right there matey, although you can present the material, without an understanding it's useless. And of course 1984 is not the only book to hammer home the dangers of an oligarchical society and really all of it is quite common sense, protect your liberty, but these days it seems a lot of people aren't completely savvy to exactly what their liberties are, and in some alarming cases actually restrict them all by themselves !
Ahh well, I suppose on the other side of the coin, Liberties are risky, as they require thought and judgment, and simply banning something does technically protect people, it's the issue of getting so used to simply putting a stop to things instead of dealing with them that we eventually resort to banning everything, and thats what really worries me
but hey, it's just an ad;) cheers for the comment matey
I said required, not rammed into every students eye socket we can find. Slow down there !
What I meant was that it should be required reading in that if something is required to read it's natural to assume that it would also be discussed at length and thusly the ideals and such contained within the text will more likely be absorbed by the student and there is then more chance of them developing a personal understanding of the idea at hand
And it's that "personal understanding" or lack thereof that's going to save or doom us in the end
but hey, that's just my two pennies.
I find it interesting that you seemed to want to disagree with my comment based purely on some kind of knee-jerk reaction to my assuming a position, isn't that very similar to the knee-jerk reaction parents make when they attempt to ban a perfectly fine advert for dubious reasons ?
Just a question of course, I'm no professor.
nothing to add, just thought the comment was great, sums up my sentiments exactly, but I thought IPimp was an up and coming feature to.Mac, bringing sexless mac geeks to reasonably priced women across the globe, with the simplicity and ease of use we come to expect of all Ilife programs;)
That re-enforce my view that 1984 should be made required reading in every form of education.
It's downright scary that it's not a government that is doing this, it's actual citizens, why do things yourself when you can convince everyone else to do it for you?
