Topic of education and its purpose
For homework, I’d like you to consider the topic of education and its
purpose, which we discussed in class. What do you feel is the purpose
of education? David Foster Wallace spends a lot of time discussing
critical thinking and applying it beyond the classroom to everyday
experience. Do you agree with his idea of a liberal arts education that
allows people to better handle adult life, or do you feel that college
is more about gaining skills that will get you a good job? Why does
Wallace spend so much time discussing the annoying aspects of everyday
life? What does this have to do with a liberal arts education?
