    Common Knowledge

    As you read in the WR last week, writers cite borrowed information by providing a signal phrase, page number if a printed source, url in case of a picture taken from the web, etc. One exception to this rule, however, is whenever the information is common knowledge. Common knowledge is a term applicable to any piece of information that is widely available in basic sources about the subject. In a paper about psychology, for instance, you wouldn’t need to cite that Freud is considered to be the “father of psychology” or that he developed theories about the interpretation of dreams and repression mechanisms, as these are well known, widely published facts which can be found in any basic source relating to Freud, such as Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia.…

    Common Sense

    In the year 1776 Thomas Paine wrote his pamphlet Common Sense to convince the struggling colonists that succession from the British monarchy was not only inevitable, but also justified, and that it was time for the people of the American colonies to rise up against the British control. At this time the American Revolution had been in progress for about a year and the colonists were divided about what to do. There were Patriots fighting for independence, Loyalist who were still loyal to Great Britain, and those who were still undecided and sympathetic to the colonist’s grievances but weren’t ready to risk going to war by severing ties to Great Britain.…

    Common Sense

    In the years of 1775 through 1776, the American colonies were at the beginning of a war with Great Britain. American loyalists, those who supported the King of England, believed the colonies should remain loyal to their parent country of Great Britain, whereas the American patriots viewed the King of England as a tyrant and the country of Great Britain as betraying the American colonies. In 1776 Thomas Paine, a British patriot, wrote the political pamphlet, Common Sense, rejecting loyalist’s views about English control over the colonies and ultimately strengthening the American patriots’ morale to wage war against England (Tindall and Shi 150). Through Common Sense, Paine argued that England did not share the best interest of the colonies (Paine 84), that through checks and balances the King of England and Parliament did not protect the colonists from governmental tyranny but ruled one (Paine 69), and that the political order of the British government, a hereditary succession, had not and would not prevent potential civil wars. (Paine 79).…

    Common Sense

    Thomas Paine’s life started in January 29, 1737 in the town of Thetford, County Norfolk. Joseph Paine and Frances Cocke were the parents of Thomas Paine and they both wanted him to become something in a higher profession other than to follow his father’s trade. With this intention, his parents made a sacrifice to enrolled Paine into the local grammar school at the age of six in hopes of him becoming a lawyer or a doctor but unfortunately, Paine dropped out of school later on in the years to follow his father’s trade. Paine didn’t do so well at that either and he experimented with other jobs such as a privateer, an excise, and finally a journalist. Paine became an important figure publishing many of his works including “Common Sense”, an influential piece that pushed for independence, which was published in 1776 and followed by “The American Crisis”. Later in his lifetime, he was arrested for not supporting the execution of Louis XVI and was put away in jail for some time. However, Paine escaped the Guillotine with the help of James Monroe and returned to the Colonies after being invited by President Jefferson. On June 8, 1809, he died at the age of 72 in New York.…

    With living costs as high as they are in this day and age, it is completely unreasonable to expect the average individual to squander already limited resources. Receiving a bachelor's degree today requires an assortment of classes that often are not directly related to one's career objectives. For some, they find this to be an enjoyable adventure, broadening their knowledge and learning about new aspects of life, but for others this is just burdensome. However it is looked upon, the college curriculum still requires a diverse selection of courses to develop well rounded, responsible individuals, but in turn creates added pressure upon students.…

    Common Sense

    Making people understand a serious situation like America’s independence is not easy, but Thomas Paine was able to do so through his book, Common Sense. Thomas Paine was able to communicate his ideas to common simple farmers and to the high class intellectuals very easily. He lived at the time of the American Revolution, and Common Sense is one of his main publications that urged Americas’ independence from the British. Born in 1937, Thomas Paine was originally an English man to his father, and he holds radical views on religion which caused him criticism and so little people attending his funeral when he died at 1809. Paine live in a critical time, he lived in the time period that is the most important in America’s history, which is the American Revolution. At that time, America face many social, political, and economic problems, and Paine felt that it was his duty to make people understand these problems, and he offered solutions to them as well. This was the most crucial time period in America’s history, thus, Paine said “these are the times that try men’s soul.” Paine in the last quote refers to the American Revolution and that being a real American and being really caution about America, you must participate in the Revolution; this is what he means by “try men’s soul.” Paine believes that America must be independent, and that it will inevitably be independent and America will be much better in everything once it gains its independence. Paine argues that independence is inevitable, and he is pretty sure that will fix social, political, and economic problems America face due to the British occupation. All of this is being argued in his book, Common Sense, to make it easier for everyone to understand the situation they are in. One of the main aspects of his book was to make people understand what the country is composed of, the government and the Society, and the differences between them. He also explains the history and…

    Knowledge of Acquintance and Knowledgea About

    In a passage from his book Psychology, William James proposed the idea of knowledge of acquaintance and knowledge about. As he wrote to open the passage “there are two kinds of knowledge, broadly and practically distinguishable: we may call them respectively knowledge of acquaintance and knowledge-about.” James’s meaning of knowledge of acquaintance, in contrast to the knowledge about, could be interpreted as the knowledge for which one cannot convey, thought, meaning, and/or ideas, with language.…

    In order to know what the Harvard Report means by general education, I should start with a definition summarized from the different parts of the report. In terms of the Harvard report, I think general education is a system of higher education designed to foster in students the desire and capacity to learn, think critically, and communicate proficiently with both nature and society, and also to function as engaged citizens. It is distinguished by a flexible curriculum that allows for student choice and demands breadth and depth of study as well, and by a student-centered pedagogy that is interactive and requires students to engage directly with critical texts and activity within and outside of the classroom.…

    Common Sense

    Common sense is the knowledge and thinking ability a person acquires through experience and from teachings passed on from others, and is used to deal with everyday life in appropriate manners. It is what a person relies on to tell them, generally, what is right or wrong, good or bad, and what is best for them in a given situation to sustain overall well-being. It reflects the thought process that is used when faced with possible uncertainty, and it relies heavily on memory. It enables someone to compare their present to moments of their past and to use judgment based on connections between the two (sometimes in opposition to logic). In other words, common sense is a person’s intuition, and this instinct is constantly molded over the course of their lifetime.…
