So far this semester I have learned a lot about how to over analyze everything and go places even the marketing specialists haven’t even thought of. I have come to realize that I cannot just see an advertisement anymore without intensely over analyzing it for everything. I can’t just drive and see a billboard or check out in peace, this class has taught me to over analyze everything. I have also realized that most everything you read online is an opinion that doesn’t have any sources.
Most of the learning that has done this semester thus far has really been on the surface just enough to change the short term mainly due to the fact that all that is being done is to complete the assignment at hand.
I can say that I have brought up during a conservation with friends the random facts about advertisements and the fact that most articles online are false. They find some of my knowledge interesting but that can only go but so far. If I try to bring up any Poultry knowledge most people don’t have the stomach for or just don’t want to hear about where there food comes from, it doesn’t matter if it organic or traditional, the methods are relatively the same.
The information that is taught in school usually cannot be uses outside of class unless the conservation is with another person with similar interests. Take Poultry Science for example, I have learned a ton of information about poultry and how they are processed and raised but this information will be lost on another who doesn’t have the same interests as myself. Most conversations I have with friends are about hobbies or something interesting that isn’t usually controversial. We try to stray away from politics’ or anything that can be debated for hours with nothing being successfully achieved.
Communication to others can be translated outside of class to others, but the main issue is that the environment needed to convey school knowledge is not found outside the classroom. Try bringing up something that is only halfway interesting during dinner or at the bar with friends and you might get about five minutes until they switch topics to something more appropriate.
At the very least, you're aware of how advertisements and articles try to persuade you so you can make more educated opinions for yourself, right?
ReplyDeleteIn the How to Write Nothing in 500 Words assignment, it says something about all topics are naturally boring. So its up to you to make poultry science interesting to others.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the analyzing is always focused on the right stuff. Maybe I like to use I however I want and throw semicolons wherever I feel like it that day and all that stuff. And peer review is the worst how do I know that people reviewing my stuff even know what they're talking about anyway. People are to critical in reading peoples papers anonymously and should have to sign everywhere they made a correction.
