Howard Gardner's Five Minds For The Future

According to Mike Rose, “To work is to solve problems. The big difference between the psychologist’s laboratory and the workplace is that in the former the problems are isolated and in the latter they are embedded in the real-time flow of work with all its messiness and social complexity” (280). In other words, Rose believes that though problem solving skills can be learned at a college, they can also be learned through working and by doing so they will get more from the experience. When a person learns to solve problems at the work place he or she must deal with all the variables life throws into the equation, where as in a classroom everything is planned and nothing is organic. This issue is important because many students are told they need to receive a liberal arts education to make it in this world.

Samuel Seium. I enjoyed the part where the author encourages thinking outside of the box when developing ideas and solutions. When you think inside the box then the only ideas and solutions that you can develop will have to come from inside the box. However, if you think outside of the box then you can develop new and different ideas outside of the box that has not been tried before. This encourages me to think outside the box and encourage the community members to also think outside the box when dealing with social justice issues.

Therefore a man’s mind is responsible for all the wealth and all of the products produced. He questions the real evil since money is only a symbol of value, a simple tool.

Clara Bergeson Guinn/Walker World Literature and Composition 12 October 2015 Fears for the Future Throughout history, there have been many nations that feed off of: what people don’t know, the fear of change, and the destruction that comes with that. During World War II, Hitler had incredible amounts of propaganda that he used to control how people grow up and think as well as to create mayhem. When Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 in the late 1940’s to early 1950’s these facts were fresh in his mind.

Their work is educational at every degree. Blue-collar workers develop intelligence and skills in a workplace through proper planning, problem solving, social interactions and multitasking. Most blue collar jobs are constantly faced with new problems every day, in the midst of busy schedules, that demand instant solution. Blue Collar jobs require just as much intelligence as jobs that require formal academic credentials.

Rose supports his views by saying, “To gain a sense of how knowledge and skill develop, I observed experts as well as novices. From the details of this close examination I tied to fashion what I called, ‘cognitive biographies’ of blue-collar workers,”(250). Rose effectively compares the various levels of labor as a part of his study to generate a better understanding of the complexity of blue-collar jobs. As a part of the comprehensive argument, Rose’s research reinforces his ability to delve deeper into the topic, and make connections between his experience and the educated conclusion that was derived from his study. Rose’s thesis, which revolves around the argument that blue-collar workers need to possess more abilities that go beyond the physical ability gains a greater credibility because it encompassed diverse stages of labor and related it to his personal experience.

Why? It is a question we catch ourselves asking on an almost every day basis. This seemingly simple question often leaves people perplexed. It has a vast array of answers and possibilities. I too caught myself asking why as I walked the roads of Uganda and Kenya.

Are employers trying to push strong motivations upon their working to increase a person self-drive or only to increase the numbers of product that is produces? According to the text, “The popularity of the late economist Milton Friedman’s philosophy among business people has never surprised me much” (Wallace). The author begins to detect Friedman’s misconception within his argument using an appeal of pathos to support his evidence. By helping the audience pursue to best path of correct reasoning that also allow the public to acknowledge Friedman’s misconception.
